Its kind of a common theme with David Benyamine (or Mr. B as his girl calls him in her blog) that he is a big winner in NLHE and PLO and a HUGE loser in Omaha Hi/Lo.
If you look at all the results since January 1th 2007 he is up almost $6M total, but in the same period of time he is a $4,5M looser in Omaha Hi/Lo.

Is it just prestige? A drive to be considered the best all-around poker player or is it a give action - get action thing? Or is it just a leak?

In the long run, a guy like Ivey that runs pretty steady in NLHE, PLO and HORSE but is a huge winner in Omaha Hi/Lo should destroy DB if he only put in the hours.

strangely enough he won a wsop bracelet in hi/lo this year...

But dont understand it either. To be honest; I don't even understand why these ballers play this high once they have like 5M. Cash out and go live in Brazil or something. Wtf u r still doing in the F#$%^& desert?

Yeah, the bracelet, forgot about that... Well we all know that the best player doesnt always win tournaments. But I dont think DB is that bad of a player, but it just goes back to the old saying that if you are the 10th best player in the world and you are sitting in a game with the nine people that are better than you....
