Saw him playing 200-400 plo and 1000-2000 triple draw this morning. Just wondering if anybody knows for sure who he/she is. I googled the screen name and could not get a definitive answer.

I think it´s a male. Not sure though.

Hi, its me

mark seif?

triple draw is balla.

i am. why? who's askin'?

Widely suspected to be Ivey at first, then after people played him a decent amount became somewhat unclear, has Vegas location, plays too well to be some random TV donkament pro, he sat out vs me once at 500/1k limit hold 'em (brag), but I think this was just because he was away from his computer (beat).

Also could conceivably be PA if he gave Stars a Vegas location.

Thought -- how much Stars action does durrrr get as holdem_NL?

Does durrr even play on stars anymore? I havent railed him in ages on Stars I don't think he plays there anymore because theres no point playing 100/200 NL for 40k pots nymore IMO when he is raking 100-200k pots on FTP.


Edit*** Just checked his PTR and he hasnt been on Stars since Nov 09 which is around the time he became an FTP pro? so I assume if you are a red pro you only play on FTP same goes for stars?

he's not allowed to play there bc he's ftp pro.

I always thought raiseonce= Daniel Alaei. Think I read this some where a while back.
oops NVM, was thinking of steamraise.

A friend of mine thinks it's PA, but I have no idea what he's basing it on. It seems like it wouldn't be worth it to play on stars and possibly risk screwing up what has to be a sweet deal with ftp.

This, Erik123. He doesnt play nl cash and only plays 1-2tables.

PA or Ivey imo but weighted more towards PA

Erik123/thread

Durr/PA and Ivey ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY ON POKERSTARS, BECAUSE THEY ARE TEAM FULL TILT PROFESSIONALS.

Its extremely likely its Ivey. Raiseonce was registered through pokerstars for both the 20k GBP buyin in London and 25k euro buyin in Monte Carlo(possibly only one, but I'm about 80% sure it was both).

The American players who aren't Stars pros who played the one in London are

Cada
Durrrr
Ferguson
Matt Glantz
Greenstein
Ashton Griffin
Ivey
John Juanda
Harrison Kaczka
Eugene Katchalov
Bryn Kenney
MoneyMaker
Steve O'dwyer
Dennis Phillips
Greg Raymer
Vanessa Rousso
Nicholas Schulman
Erik Sediel
Dan Shak
David Steicke
Vadim Trincher
Brian Powell

If you remove the stars pros and online players with well known names, you get
Chris Ferguson
Matt Glantz
Phil Ivey
John Juanda
Erik Sediel
Dan Shak
David Steicke
Vadim Trincher
Brian Powell

Removing the players who didn't play the one in Monte Carlo you get
Chris Ferguson
Phil Ivey
John Juanda
Eric Sediel
Dan Shak
David Steicke

I have trouble believing Dan or David are top tier tripple draw players, so unless either 1) its a well known players who plays under someone elses name(ie. Durrr's real account is Raiseonce, and he just likes playing on the durrr account) or someone from outside the USA has made their location Las Vegas, you can be pretty sure its a member Ferguson, Ivey, Sediel or Juanda

that is obviously a rule that they can choose to break

you talk like its impossible for them to play on other sites when its not

wow at above analysis

Raise has played 2-4 tables of 20k and 40k NL on occasions. On one occasion he sat at a couple of 40k NL tables versus someone (Nutsinhio?) and 2 minutes later Durrr sat and said in chat 'Raise asked me to come play as well'. So it's a fairly high stakes player from Vegas who Tom knows, and who can play several different types of games at once, which might rule out some of the older players who would struggle to play a mix of nl, plo and draw games at once.

There doesn't seem to be a corresponding player sitting at Full Tilt when Raise sits at Stars either. Also, to Coronet, if you qualify for an EPT event through Stars, you have to wear their gear. No FT pro would be doing this obviously.

i thought it was a well known fact that its PA.

i think it is Ted Forrest. i remember a few weeks back on ftp, cole was talking to profbackwards (forrest on ftp) on chat about how stars security needs to take to you about the xfer cole tried to sent him. Then forrest said something like he forget his stars email account so just cancel the xfer.

cole said fine but he likes playing stars cause they have triple draw. cole is playing raiseonce 1-2k td now.

thats some sick investigative work Coronet

theprofess on stars is quite likely forrest...
