supernova visual recognition

[MicroBob]

yeah, I guess.
But I can't help but think that a table full of full-time SN "pros" (for lack of a better word) is going to discourage that guy from taking the shot in the first place.
At least in some instances.

you will know fairly quickly if the newcomer at your table has any skill for those stakes or not regardless of whether he has an SN symbol or not.

I think the casual player gains more info and perhaps becomes more intimidated by learning who the 'regulars' are than the regulars gain by being able to slightly more quickly identify the noob's who are likely to stand out for their crappy play anyway,
