Win great for a while then BLAH
This has happened to me before, particularly at Bodog.com
I honestly think the reason might be that my name is too easy to remember and people get to know my style.
I had been up there for a few months, then BLAH. Lost my winnings.
I left for 2-3 months then went back. It was great for a few months again, and now BLAH again. But at least this time I'm still up.
Should I just play somewhere else for a few months then go back and see how it goes?
I really like Bodog the best because I really prefer to play conservatively and it generally works at Bodog $1 blind ring games, in which so many people play quite loose.
Does anybody else just fudge identification so they can play the same site under two different names? I know I once did that to get some free software, but haven't generally done this for improving my play.
Also, do names like
dfs435
help at all? They don't seem very memorable. Or is it note-taking that's doing me in?
Thanks for your advice.

Well, if I played against you (and I haven't), I would probably have notes on you. If you play conservatively, then my notes might say ... "8 / 0 / 1 easily bluffed out of a pot, only plays monsters, very passive" and I would put a special symbol next to your name (Hollywood Poker adds these in addition to notes) that indicates "Very Passive".
And of course, anytime I was playing against you, I would try to sit on your right and steal all of your blinds.
Maybe it's time to mix it up. You can read FTR for ideas. Good luck.
