Who is Present? - Page 2 - Poker News - News, Views and Gossip

It has to be an established person taking over an account, I have notes from playing him HU 5/10 over a year ago for like 300 hands and he plays nothing like the current present.

seems like the most likely scenario

It's not the first time I heard this but it is the first time I hear "Carlos Mortensen" and "cash game" in the same sentence.

im pretty the only reason people think present is him is because it is registered to someone in spain and i guess his permanent residence would be in madrid DUNNO

He has almost identical preflop stats to Lars Luzak.

He plays as 'Kuna' on the Betfair 25/500NLH and PLO tables and he is from Finland. Wahlroos referred to him as 'Jimmy D' who knocked him out of the tournament. There were only 3 fins left in the tournament at that point:

Mika Puro (EPT regular)

Mika Paassonen

Voitto Rintala (scary looking guy who usuallay plays 25/50)

It's Lars, he has like 5 accounts on FTP because he thinks he won't get any action if he uses the Lars name.

The other three you mentioned I can surely say don't play that high. Mika Puro is more like an old school grinder, never plays anything close to nosebleed. Paasonen is more of an gambler but he has nowhere near the bankroll. Voitto Rintala I'm pretty sure doesn't even play on FTP, and also 0% chance he'd jump into nosebleeds.

Martre I also think it's unlikely that it's one of these 3. However:

wahlroos busted a few places from the bubble in EPT Barcalona and was talking afterwards with Lodden. He said he coulnd't steal much since 'Jimmy D' aka Kuna was in the big blind or whatever. At that time there were only the Fins mentioned above and Juha Lauttamus still in.

I've only seen him short stacking 100/200NL (4K stack) so far. Last year he played a little 100/200NL on full tilt but nothing too spectaculair. He plays as Haemaelainen (or something close to it) on both sites.

I think it could easily be Lauttamus. He's really been on a roll during the last 12 months and plays regularly in the biggest live games we have, which go up to 100/100 euro pot limit. If this present guy indeed is Finnish, I'd bet good money he is Juha Lauttamus.
