Carlos Mortenson

[Goodie54]

Just read the Cardplayer column on him. I'm sure this has been addressed but I couldn't find it. What is his name on pokerstars?

I'm just curious to see if I've played with him.

Thanks

Peace

For three recent weeks in a row, Juan Carlos was on a reign of *terror at the online sites. He’s so good that sometimes he plays in four tournaments at a time at four different sites! If that’s not enough excitement, sometimes he adds a $5,000 heads-up match while he’s playing in the other tournaments. How successful is he?

A few weeks ago, he played in a PokerStars $200 buy-in event and won it, pocketing $91,000. The very next week, he played in a PokerStars $500 buy-in event and won that one, as well, for $142,000. The following week was a bad one for him. He came in only 17th, for $3,500. The guy is unstoppable.

You must be wondering, what’s the guy’s online name? Sorry, no can do. You’ll just have to watch and see who keeps winning.

Wow.

I didn't think anyone was allowed to have more than 1 PStars name.

Maybe one account is in his name and the other is in his wife's name?

Sorry to hijack, but I read that article last night and...

Those player profile articles are the biggest pieces of crap in print.

Obsequious. Unhelpful. I feel dumber for having read it.

That is all.

I liked this one:

"One day, they started playing Texas hold’em. I was waiting for my wife, Cecelia, and I said to myself, I want to try. I took out $100 and lost it all. That night, I couldn’t sleep. I was very upset. What mistakes did I make? I came back the next day and doubled my money. For the next four days in a row, I won consistently. I decided to leave my job and start playing poker."

Wow... four winning sessions in a row, let's go pro. Sweet.
