Poker Players and Their BIZARRE Pseudonyms

When you play poker online, you are bound to come across many interesting and wild usernames. Along with giving players a guise to play under, online names can also be fun and memorable. Many popular poker players are often recognized by their pseudonyms. Let’s take a look at some of the interesting names we have come across on Spartan Poker and the players behind them.

1. Kanchan ‘Midge Maisel’ Sharma

With a username like ‘Midge Maisel,’ Kanchan Sharma is showing the world what girl power is all about. This poker star was first introduced to the game back in 2017 and although relatively is a new player, she packs quite a punch. Her username cropped up during the final table for the India Poker Championship (IPC) Final Table Series on November 2020, where she finished fourth and took home an impressive INR 13,79,136. Play on Spartan Poker and you might catch her in action on one of the upcoming IOPC tournaments.

2. Arjun ‘lol this guy’ Pasricha

Guess who won a massive INR 40 Lakh at the IPC Final Table Series in November? It was none other than Arjun Pasricha aka ‘lol this guy.’ It seems like Pasricha kept the username for this exact reason, that people would aptly go ‘lol this guy’ when referring to his biggest win. Watch out for this unassuming username on the Spartan Poker platform just in case you manage to play against him.

3. Srihari ‘Bangbang99’ Bang
