Lets talk about avatars.

[boohaa12]

Do they, avatars, play any significant roll in the psychological aspect of the game?
Does having no avatar signify "new to site"
Does having a femail avatar imply tight/passive?

While it is understood that we are all great players and rely on numbers, patterns or reads... it can certainly be accpted that players of lesser skill may look to other factors.

Further, having the generic "yellow circle" (no avatar) may be advantagous, as regulars (but thoes who dont use pokertrack), may not notice you as much or remmember your style...

while this post may not apply to all sites, there can be some merit here. maybe some discussion about the effects of play agains you depending on your icon/type of icon...

does a picture of a hick benifit a LAG style or diminish its cerdibility?
