    Poker Screen Names & Avatars

    A clip I took out of a book today... Agree? Discuss

    If a player has a screen name of an alcoholic drink or a car, then he is usually a
    recreational player over the age of 30. Such examples are JackDaniels72 or Ferrari_lover.

    If a player has a screen name of a famous player follow by a number, then he is usually bad. Such examples are Phil_Ivey_123 or Helmuth33.

    If a player has a screen name of a sports team with the team’s logo, then he is usually bad. Such examples are Lakers2000 or Colts13424.

    If a player’s screen name has the word “crazy”, “bluff” or “gamble”, then he is usually tight.

    If a player’s screen name has the word “monies” or “lol,” then he is likely a young player who posts in online forums. This generally means he’s an aggressive player.

    If a player has a picture of his baby as his avatar, then he is usually over 30 and is almost always bad.

    I'll add...when I see "69" "420" or anything about pot in a screen name I immediately think "bad".

    yeah, basically it's pretty simple. Just assume the opposite of the name. It doesn't always hold true, but it's a good general rule.

    pokerdonk188 is probably a better player than pokergenius420

    someone who buys in for a weird amount like $72.47 is usually on the last of his roll and almost always bad or tilting
