NLTRN+NLCASH: Choosing screen-name
I will be signing up on some new sites soon and I am not sure what screen-names I should choose. I have basically 3 choices:
1) "TwoPlusTwo" Positive: Makes HU sharks avoid me because they figure there is a big chance I am a shark. Negative: Makes HU fish, which are sharks at other games, avoid me too. 2) "Lord Mushroom" Positive: Makes HU sharks who have noticed my name in the HU forum avoid me. Negative: Few HU sharks have noticed my name in the HU forum. And some HU fish which are sharks at other games have recognized my name too. 3) Something which doesnīt reveal whether I am a shark or a fish. Positive: Sharks at other games, but HU fish, wonīt avoid me. Negative: HU sharks wonīt avoid me. What do you think? I am leaning towards "TwoPlusTwo" on sites I plan to play HU NLTRN on because the stacks in these arenīt deep enough for non-HU STT sharks to have a significant disadvantage against a HU NLTRN shark. Cash-game sharks (HU, shorthand and/or longhand) donīt have a significant disadvantage either. On sites where I expect to play HU NLCASH I am torn, out of faith, cold, shamed and lying naked on the floor. |

If you play low stakes they won't care because they are donkeys.
If you play high stakes they won't care cos they are smart. |

You should be able to detect the sharks and stay out of their way.
How about TwoPlusMushroom as a compromise. |

Think more about being memorable to the sharks than obvious to them, because I don't think anyone in the history of poker has even been scared by a sn. |

Too obvious, even fish that know of 2+2 will know who you are now.
You need something more subtle, so that only the better/more active players will know who you are. |
