Is Ram1729 on Party=TheCount1729 on Pokerstars?

Ram plays 30/60 on Party and tirelessly criticizes bad players. I've heard that TheCount(PStars 100/200) is notorious for the same crime. They both have the number 1729 appended to their names(1729 is the subject of a famous mathematician's anecdote involving Ramanujan and Hardy).

Probably not, and I remember the Count from when he played at Planet, he didn't use to yell and scream as far as i can recollect.

I go all the way back to Planet against this guy, and can assure you, he's one of the most pleasant, least confrontational players you can find at bigger limits. Everyone is "bud" to Count.

Someone done LIED to you.

TheCount1729 is playing right now.
His home-town is Edmonton.

No idea where Ram1729 is from.

count has yet to say a word on his 100/200 tables as far as I've seen.

I've met TheCount1729 personally. He's super nice. No way does he berate anyone, and I don't think he ever plays as low as 30-60. Im sure its not him.

Ramanujan, the self-taught Indian math genius, knew that 1729 is a special number. The Count, being Indian, no doubt refers to that number. But so do other fans of the fellow. It's a big hit, as far as numbers go, among math geeks.

The Count can chat. I saw him chatting with neverwin whether neverlose is a bot. The count referred to two BBC interviews on poker bots - the second one with an interview with the Count, who was used to provide a serious challenge to the U Alberta heads up bot which learns from observation. The Count has more faith that a good bot will emerge than neverwin does.
