Guy Laliberté is known in Quebec for having founded the Cirque du Soleil. He is also known for being one of the richest Canadians. It is also known to the people of PokerCollectif as (loser) poker player.
Formerly, he was playing at Full Tilt Poker under several name. Change my screen name or having multiple accounts is illegal in FTP, but not when one is billionaire it seems. Guy Laliberté was often ride the high stakes tables and nosebleed (the highest limit on FTP). He is known for playing under the pseudonyms noataima, lady marmalade, patatino, and elmariachimacho. In the end, it will have lost more than 23 million in only 177,000 hands. This is what make the happiness of several players.
These days, a rumor has it that he now plays on PokerStars under the pseudonym "noataima". Its PTR shows losses of $ 18,000 in 1500 hands. There is no evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that he is Guy Laliberté, but several players have good doubts. His account is brand new and it has played 12 sessions of poker. Two winners and 10 losers. On average, its sessions make it lose $ 1600 in 70 hands per session. He plays mostly Texas Hold'em ' Hold'em 6 - max $ 10 / $ 20-$ 25 / $50.
One side can say it's him given the pseudonym "noataima", which is the same as one of pseudonyms used on Full Tilt Poker and because he is a loser high stakes player, but on the other, why would recycled an old name who seems to love the anonymity? And why would play not above him who is not really accustomed to so little limitations as the NL2000?
