    Default Username ideas

    Ok so I'm gonna sign up at either Bodog or Titan in the next couple of weeks (after a bit of BR shuffling). I want a new name though, i've used the same one on every other site and it's really a bit boring.

    Any suggestions? I've heard putting your name as a girls completely changes the way your opponents play you, any truth here?
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

    I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

    Oh yea, pick a chick name, like StacyLove, use a photo of a hot chick (Stars anyway) and if you don't mind being flirted with, I think it's +ev

    Always try and use completely unrelated and different names at every site and guard your screenname with your life.

    I can't tell you how many times I have sat at a new site and seen someone with a really obscure name like Jonnybadass1989 who I played 20k hands with on another network and got an instant line on his play while he has no clue who I am.

    Also I see people from somewhere like 2+2 or Cardrunners who use their login name or post their screennames on the site and just the fact that I know they are a Cardrunners member and they don't know I am is an edge.

    I use WotaWaster on Prima and UB only because I signed up for these sites before I actually thought this through (and Pitbull because its such a gay site I don't care who knows me).

    As far as a name goes either choose:

    A girls name so you will probably get hit on and softplayed
    A name like IPWNNOOBZLOLZ or BIGBALLS111 so people think you are a dickhead and try to bluff you and think you are bluffing.

    Never thought of that wota, good advice. Hopefully people recognise me from UB then (where I tend to do all my donkish stuff ).
    For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
