If you are protective of your screename for reasons other than mentioned in the poll, then what are those reasons?

"I gain some +EV by staying anonymous until they realize I'm a TAG"

It's probably not hard to figure out my screen names, and I'm not terribly protective (I used to be, but kinda wised up) but if it gives me some edge, I'm not going to broadcast it.

I'm not telling you! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Actually, it's Spydog92 as I'm sure most 5/10 SH and 3/6 Full 2+2ers already know.

It can't hurt.
It's just my nature to be private with most personal information.

Also, I would rather not talk to people on the rail or instantly be associated with 2+2.

The less "sup bro" and brown trout I hear, the better.

Yes, and I'll tell you why. Because i know how YOU think if I know ure screen name and I know who you are on 2+2. Ill play my normal game, but I will take shots at you and only you, and since Im not retarded against anyone else, you will assume I have the goods, and since i know you are capable of folding it usually always works.
