Could my name matter?(Pitbozz)
first time poster here so go easy on me. Tried playing online 4 years ago lost $250 + 150 bonus pretty fast. Started to play in free roles in the last year and won a couple bucks here and there (2000+ people) finally won one for $50.00. So heres what happened. was playing in $3-10 tourneys trying to figure out how people play,different time limits, some mulity tables too. I was doing pretty good made money in alot of tournys By playing tight " Phil helmuth style starting hands" was getting called alot but just figured it was bad players, good for me i thought. Got my stack to 300, back down, back up, am at $220, played in at least 100 or more tournys. I was getting to alot of money spots but finding myself short stacked or the blinds getting too high. i needed to play more hands but heres the prob i get called too often people seem to think im bluffing all the time, or they want to out play me or somthing, even check raises being called alot. i play tight but you cant always get the great hands and somtimes you get out drawn. Heres the problem im playing this way cause i seem to get called down alot, and outdrawn or rivered. Ive tried to be more aggressive, see more flops but if i limp someone will raise,and if i raise im getting called. I dont think im playing poor ,ill throw the odd raise in out of position and ill protect my blind when needed. I cant figure out the problem. Am i grasping at staws with this but it realy seems to be happing.
Could my name be getting people to think they want to outplay me or that they want to beat me. I picked the name Pitbozz cause thats what i was doing at the time not cause i think i know it all about poker. Do you think the name could effect peoples play?
