Bootply with output The problem i'm facing is, i can't make the buttons (linked text4)and logout label align in a straight line even though i've used the pull-right and offset.

Your pull-right is on the wrong element. It pulls the col-sm-2 and the col-lg-7 to the right as it should. To get the content of a div to the right you have to do text-right. Its easy to analyze with chrome dev tools.

    <div class="col-sm-12">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-sm-2 text-right pull-right">
                Hi | <span class="label label-info">Player</span> | <a href=""><span class="label label-danger">Logout</span></a><br><br>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="col-sm-12">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-7 pull-right text-right">
                <a class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Link 1 with big text </a>
                <a class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Link2 oktext</a>
                <a class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Linked text3</a>
                <a class="btn btn-primary btn-sm">Linked text4</a>
                <br><br>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

As I see now, there is still a slightly difference, thats because .label has an em padding and the btn-sm has an absolute padding. You have to switch to buttons for both or fix the padding via your custom.css, but this could mess up other label related displays.
