There are some really good poker players who come from the small Scandinavian country Denmark, for an example the all time most successful World Poker Tour player and high stakes poker start Gus Hansen, 2008 World Series of Poker main event winner Peter Eastgate and Peter Jepsen who has for an example won an European Poker Tour event and has over $500,000 in live poker tournament winnings. Despite of that in the high stakes online poker games there have in the past been much fewer players from Denmark than from the other Scandinavian countries such as Sweden for an example. However, in this article we will look into one of those few Danish players who is currently playing the absolute biggest online poker games: THEDONKEYNO1.
What games does THEDONKEYNO1 play?
Most of the time you can find him playing the CAP limit pot limit Omaha games at full tilt poker. His limit of choice seems to be $200/$400 in which he is often playing against players such as SxMxF from Finland. Besides those CAP games he is often in the action in the little bit smaller non-cap pot limit Omaha tables such as $25/$50, overall it is very rare to find him playing anything else than PLO.
Who is THEDONKEYNO1 and what is his real name?
There has been some speculation about the identity of THEDONKEYNO1 and some people have for an example suggested that it might be new nick sunra18 who is other Danish PLO poker player at Full Tilt, however as it is against the rules to have two accounts at Full Tilt Poker and also as those two players have seen sighted online at the same time it can be concluded with high certainty that he is indeed not the same person as sunra18. Some people have also suggested that he might be Peter Jepsen, but according to himself Peter is right now going through some rough times in the poker tables and thus it would be surprising to see him playing games as big as the $200/$400 PLO cap games.
So who is THEDONKEYNO1? Well according to several sources his real name is Theo Jorgensen. Now, obviously as he is not playing under his real name at FTP this is not 100% confirmed information, but let’s just say that this is more reliable information than most of the guesses about the player’s identities behind nicks
About Theo Jorgensen:
Even though lot of poker players outside Denmark might have never heard about him he is actually quite accomplished poker player. Besides being a tough online player he has also had some good success in the live poker tournaments: Already back in 2004 he won a 7-card stud tournament in Austria for over 100,000€. Theo has also been twice in EPT final table, finishing both times 4th and taking home over 100,000€. However, even though all three of these are great accomplishments he actually has a one result that is even more impressive: in 2008 he won £5,000 World Series of Poker Europe pot limit Omaha tournament for nearly $400,000, which just further proves that he indeed quite skilled PLO player.
At the moment there is no information about other nicks that Theo might be using on online poker rooms.
