What do you think might be a good avatar image for online poker, or is it best to keep anonymous and have no avatar?

If you want people to assume you're bad and play against you accordingly, use a picture of a baby. If you want someone to know you study the game and play against you cautiously, use a picture of a donkey or some other inside 2+2 reference.
Doesn't really matter though, people will start playing you based on your stats within 50 hands anyway. |

How long after you start playing at a new site do people have stats on you? Don't you have to play several times against someone to get stats on them? |

[/ QUOTE ] Every hand you play v's someone with poker tracker is recorded into their database. Stats start to become meaningful after 50+ hands.. although it's pretty easy to get a general idea after only a few. |

I'm doing ok without it, but everyone talks about it so much it makes me think I need it. Would it tell me what to do in the below situation?? And if so, how? I still wouldn't know what villain had. I'm not gonna lie - it was messing with my head. He did it several times, until the second hand posted below.

it would not tell you what to do.
First of all, it doesn't take into account bet sizing. If you played with him a lot, however, it could tell you something like he bets the flop 9/9 times, and he folds his SB to steal 0/8. This would mean he is never giving up a blind and he is always betting the flop (very extreme example) Thus, you could call him very light |

I've sometimes wondered that myself when selecting an avatar at FTP. Maybe picking the rock might give you an extra .0001% chance of stealing blinds.

I strongly believe images can have at the very least a subliminal effect. I usually block them.
Maybe beer or something stupid/humorous. Or something you really like. In the end its probably best to have something you like looking at if you are going to be looking at avatars. |

I think no avatar is best since people are slightly less likely to remember you.
