Help with a good online poker name

I'm struggling to come up with a good online poker name. I know that a poker name has such a small impact on the game, but I'm fairly serious about poker and want to get it right. For those who believe that a poker name is completely irrevelant, think about it: if you met two people who were identical in every way except their names, your FIRST impression would be different. Let's say for example, Bob and Quisim(spelt correctly?)

I want the name to be intimidating in a sense; not something badass or scary because most players will see straight through that, and it cannot have the word shark or something like fisheater in it, because through my experiences, the majority of those players are amateurs at best. Remember though, that the name can sound intimidating, but not agressive, because that would give away something of my playing style; I want the name to be sort of ambivalent, so that I can play with lots of different styles without my name suggesting that I am this sort of player.

I'm thinking something that has a nerdish connotation associated with it, since the other players might get the feeling that I really know what I'm doing because I'm a nerd who has nothing better to do.

I'm not sure if I am on the right track with creating a name. For example, one player I read about had his online name called durr... He called it this as it might contribute to someone going to tilt.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as the best I have come up with is helix 8, which is not that great.

then make your avatar a question mark,

or an image of the writing: 'Triple G' in your choice of font.

Durrrrr

8==D, bingbangblaow, INKNOWWATCARDSUHAVE, IsildurONE

"ImADouché" or "IntimidatingName".

If you find picking a name hard wait until you need to be making real decisions, your gonna end up drinking yourself to death

In all seriousness.. it doesn't matter what you pick. You could be Dumfuqinametalhatinalightningstorm and as long as you are a solid player, it will get respect.

The player makes the name, not the other way around. Otherwise, would Bustosoon or Durrr be any good?

Did anyone ever take PedoBear? I think it's a real winner.

Have an avatar of a child, preferably a boy, like many people have. Make your name S3xXxOffend3r or anything of that variation. This will surely strike fear into your opponent's hearts...or private parts the least.

well if you're interested in tilting people, then obviously:

It's so lol that 12 year olds get so upset about that stuff.

"I'm-no-good-but-I'm-better-than-you-are"


"Sirbluffsalot" --- if you are tight-agg.



"Sirfoldsalot" --- if you are loose-agg.


"PokerPro" --- if you think you can intimidate the soft minded


"fish1" --- if you want your simple minded opps to underestimate you.

Play on Cake so you can change it once a week. Usernames are overrated though. It doesn't make a difference what it is. Can't say I've ever used someone's username to make a decision during a hand.

"usernametaken"

Pick a name that isn't funny and doesn't draw attention so that people won't take notice of you and your playing style. But seriously: IT DOESN'T MATHER

I like warpe's idea though

Just use something you like. If you have some nickname you like or maybe that has meaning for you, then use it or some variation.

No one worth any concern is going to be even slightly intimidated or otherwise affected, so aiming for that is useless.

How the fuck can this thread get more responses int he beginner circle than any hand history posted in the last week. No wonder you guys are stuck at the micros.

something like "skylersmom83". nothing looks fishier than some random mom trying to play online poker.

I still regret not using ButTheyWereSuited

I like the username "Paper" so when you fold your hand it says "Paper folds"

GEDDIT???








Well it was funny to me

Iloveaces, your signature is completely redundant.

I concur. Should I start a thread to gather suggestions for a more relevant one?

A good signature is important. It allows the other members of the forum to understand that you are a serious poker player, and can't be intimidated.
