OddsAgainstU, who usually plays 100NL, has added a lot of 50NL to his daily grind this August. Raking in $2,565 in profit this month and playing almost exclusively .25/.50NL heads up, OddsAgainstU proudly boasts a 2.98 bb/100 win rate over his career. One of the better grinders on PokerStars, OddsAgainstU passed $50,000 in lifetime profits this month as he rushes towards his first UGL badge.

Ultimate $.50/$1.00 NL Grinders

Player	Site	Net	Hands	BB/100
bigchiefds	Poker Stars	$6,098	51,565	5.91
maloyd	Poker Stars	$3,574	10,180	17.56

mrlimp	Poker Stars	$3,223	22,907	7.03
efrayzor	Full Tilt	$3,091	5,631	27.45

Our 100NL leader, bigchiefds, is no stranger to the pressures of the UGL race. Winning a badge in April 2010 for 50NL, he certainly knows what it takes to succeed. A tremendously consistent full ring TAG, bigchiefds graph appears to be heading straight up and with very little fluctuation. Should this “Steady Eddie” continue to put in big volume, we could be looking at a repeat UGL winner by month’s end.
