There is a guy called "Turkishpride" who plays on Pokerstars. If he can call himself "Turkishpride" you should be able to call yourself "Whitepride" or whatever. Of course this is Pokerstars, not FT so ymmv.

ohh...sorry...i got a new idea, your new screenname could be "whitetrash"...maybe the players fold their hands out of sympathy...

Well, you're going to catch some flames. But I applaud your investigative method and putting your money behind your theory.

A thought or two though on your test methodology, etc.

1) As one poster pointed out, Racist88 isn't really inflamatory enough. It invokes no *hate*, just distaste. The MLKSuxDix handle is a better example of how invoke hate. You have to come across as a slobbering, ranting idiot, basically confrontational. Racist88 is a label. MLKSuxDix is an *insult*. See the difference. So try something more insulting and see what happens. Try something like NiggazSuk, RapSuks, NiggazRule, HonkeysCantJump, HeilHitler, ZyklonBRulz, SlantEyedChink, NoTikeeNoLaundry, SukMyDik, UpUr@ss etc. You have to make it an emotional affront to really test the concept. It has to make folks see red want to shout you down. Personally I wouldn't, but if you want to test the concept, that's the element that needs to change. Racist88 is just to bland for the proper effect.

2) I think having a memorable screen name is a mistake. If people remember it, they remember how you play. I'd think that's a mistake. Stealth might be a better ploy IMHO. Because the last thing I want is someone *trying* to get a line on me specifically.
