its my real name and I wasn't in the mood to be original when I first registered.. then registered for another site and so fourth
The name I use for poker is MartyMoker. I created it as a satirical calembour relative to the rising the popularity of the game of poker and its adoption to the online community.
Take a wild guess. :P
Yea, me too. :shock:Quote:

This is something I have thought of asking as well.
My story is this. When I was an exchange student in germany my spanish friends started calling us Finns, especially me, penguins because everybody knows how cold it is in Finland and how the land is filled with penguins :| We were all all talking about "our pet penguins" and stuff and giving each other penguin related stuff, I got a penguin shaped lighter for instance.
Then 1 year after I came from Germany I started playing poker and I was really trying to come up with a c00l name. One morning I was watching a WPT video and I saw Paul "eskimo" Clark playing and there was it! My nick name was to be Pingviini which is penguin in finnish. I just connected eskimo and the penguin stories together.

I've been using realgenius as my online name since before the internet. It was my BBS name back in the day. I chose it because it's one of my favorite movies. Who doesn't love that movie.
It's funny though, not everyone realizes its a movie, and I get alot of people talking smack to me at the poker table because they think I'm some arrogant fool who actually thinks he's smart.......on second thought that may be true too. But you should see how many people ask me what my IQ is.
What's 998?Quote:

..So i had to think of something nice and original. I was gonna use LeoKey as thats the name of my two cats merged together but decided upon SinkRox which ironicly stands for sinking the rockets...
God knows why I named myself after one of the most annoying aspects of the game but the name just sounded good to me.
I also thought up my bro's name of Rascal_UK.
998 sounds like a badge number.
"LeFou" is just half of a pen-name I used when writing Me Head. The name was "Mattie LeFou"
998 is the number of the Union my department belongs to. IAFF Local 998.Quote:

I got mine from the word dyslexia...and im a bit dyslectic... :)
dont matter whether your d.y..s...l..e...x..i...c. or not
noone can spell the damn word.
Same as trying to say syphalis (cant spell that either) if you have a lisp
:wink:
my parents gave it to me... initials
My message board name pronounces the keening wail of Luddite fear.
My poker names however, aren't nearly as intellegent.
yeh thats why my nickname is spelled wrong,cause its funny in some sort of way :oops:Quote:

After I left the clan I liked the "Black" part so much (favorite color too) that I stuck with it .. but I had to add something because the name "black" is taken on almost every site, board,.. So I added a "666" because 6 is my favorite number and "666" gives the "black" an evil touch. So "black666" was born and I used it ever since.
sndp is my first name sans vowels. Its been about 3 years since I consistenly used an online monicker. I use bigtune, or some variant of that now and again as well. It's just something me and some friends started saying a year or so ago. On stars, I just use my first name.
I actually like your name a lot. You better post g00t.Quote:

If I ever sign a rap contract (probably not going to happen; I'm white and have not rhythm), this is the MC name I will use.
Mine dates back to around '90...Quote:

Last name is Muxworthy
So Mux - worth + y = Muxy
A guy in a game I played a while back, whom I always envied because he was awesome, was named "Hydroseeds". And I always thought the name was cool, so I've stuck with it since then.

Ouch that sounds real nasty.
Mine originates from basketball, someone said i had the Midas touch, so now I'm midas06 (my number's 6)
f = first letter of my last name
juan = my name in spanish
l = the second letter of my last name
so orginal
This is normally referred to as "aces cracked" not sinking.Quote:

Well thinking of the x/y=(bcd squared) root equation that is the derivative of (mux-worth+y=Muxy)Quote:

Well back in't day i was well into football and Leeds Utd happened to be alright back then so i called myself leedsruletheworld on various football forums etc. However leeds now approximately suck and i doubt that name would even fit on PP. My current name is the name i gave my character in Knights of the Old Republic. When i came to choose an online moniker i just stuck with it, although it does sound a little arrogant. Oh yeah my first name is Ash in case you were wondering.
I also use the name schism as well cause it sounds cool and i like tool.
you're a poet and didn't know it.Quote:

But you're right, i didn't know it.

My POKER names I use online are just any random stuff I think of before I register.
I use the name Dreyton for online gaming which is definately unique to me. I'm infamous in some online games.
Also Warcraft 3 King (Wc3King) is my AIM handle. I use this as my handle for games like CS and most FPS.
I really need to take one standard name and use it for everything...
I am changing my name soon to a anagram or something cool.
Back in my Everquest days, My wife's character was a High Elven Cleric called Laeelina...
I dropped the "a" to make a Dark Elven Necromancer called Laeelin
Now I use Laeelin as my name online everywhere because I because I hate making up a name, so i'm sticking with one I like. (and because Laeelin became my favorite character by far)
Just a little play on words here...
A word to the wise, don't create an account when you've been drinking... otherwise you play as AssOfSpades at PS.
At least get your math right.Quote:

drmcboy - once had a package stolen from the front porch - was delievered by UPS. On the web they have a thing where you can find out who signed for something - the signer for the missing package was "Drmcboy"
Cuthbertt - PS - Stephen King character.
Moiraine - UB - Robert Jordan char - my wife started this account.

Dr. McBoy. that's just classic.
storm75m - Storm is my first name, M is my last initial, 75 is just a favorite number
other names I use...
Renegade - from the song by Eminem and Jay Z "...never been afraid to say what's on my mind at any given time of day..."
Decepticon - transformers... has a few different poker refereces, being deceptive and all "...more than meets the eye... ...robots in disguise..."

Becareful what you say Miffed, I'm a Kentish Man who spent way too long in Yorkshire
A10Chief...I'm an A-10 crew chief in the USAF. I didn't think about the poker implication until it was too late.
That's crazy, I always read your name as "Skydupe" for some reason lol. Man, I am one hell of a lazy reader when it comes to names that look even slightly more complicated than Bob or Stan. Which is strangely ironic because it irritates me when people do the same with my name. Like playing Halo 2 and someone tries saying it over the voice line "Gala... galapono.... galapaygo... galagono... hey guy how do you say your name?". Not insulted on behalf of my name but insulted on behalf of the human race that someone could be so stupid that they couldn't even come close to pronouncing it. Today I am humbled.Quote:

I'm legendash's brother.
Actually, I've been homer on the internets forever. On the Eye Are See though, people will hax you for nicks. So I use homer- to avoid that problem. I met some card players (not poker, that other nerd game with cards) from IRC in real life and they called me homerdash. It's stuck since then.
Dude! how many times do i have to tell you, i'm not your brother, my name isn't Legen-Dash it's Legend-Ash and i'm sick of changing my phone number to avoid your calls.
J/K ;)
I was in high school during the hey day of the artist in my avatar. The first syllable of my last name is Cool, so my friends started calling me Koolmoe.
I was always more of a Kurtis Blow fan, but only because I watched Krush Groove like 5 million times......ahh the days......speaking of Everquest I myself had a High Elf Cleric named Kajack (Ka- for wife Katy, Jack for my son Jackson) I soon got divorced, so my next charachter was a Barbarian Rogue named Sajack (Sa for Sam, which is me) Never played the charachter with the ex wifes name again.
With your name and your avatar, I always read your name as GAYPORNOS.....Quote:

School mascot. Wasn't feeling creative at the time and figured players might give an ivy league kid respect. On some party skins I used my first and last inital at the end since bigred was taken, which is BigRedBJ. <anchorman> I immediately regret that decision</anchorman>.
Well, some day I will be king of something and Maharajah is "Great King" in Hindi and my dad is from India.
333 is because when I am on a run, it always seems to be with Trips. Of course that seems relatively rare these days! My post flop play needs much work. I am really tired of taking it on the chin with 2 pair. :evil:
Must...let...go...of...two...pair. Doh!
"5th Street Simian" is just too cryptic.
Truth be told, I've always loved all things Monkey and/or Ape related (no fetish jokes please). It's partially a vague reference to that Trunk Monkey commercial where the chimp comes out of the trunk of someone's car to stop a car thief in progress, hits the dude over the head with a pipe and throws him off a bridge. In poker, I'll suddenly appear out of no where on the river and hit you over the proverbial head when you try to steal my pots.
And ..... I have deep seated lust for 'rilla and wanted to be part of his Monkey gang.
I've used my name for almost ten years now. I used to play this online wrestling game back in the day, and my character was a heel who had the moniker of "Fortune 500." This was in my very early days of internet access, and all my online friends started calling me Fortune, or Forch. When it was time to play poker online, I said "Damn... that actually makes a really good poker name, too..."
So I went with it.

Irisheyes because I dunno, I'm Irish and I have eyes.
QKA23 is my poker room name because I think it looks cool and man, it should so be a recocnised straight.
SpookMeister - because I once needed to come up with a new name for myself in a FPS that I was into (AmericasArmy). My teamates were always talking about how playing against me was like playing with a ghost... they never knew where I'd be coming from and I scared the crap out of them all the time. Well, there was already someone who went by Ghost(something or another) so I went with Spook.
Spook (and variations of same) are fairly common on-line. So I ended up adding a Meister to it. I still get the occasional "already in use" but it works more often than not.
