often in mhnl you will see something like 'villain is rednosesam' or something to the extent. this can prove productive for discussion amongst mhnl players because a lot of them have played many hands with the individual or have seen extensive pieces of their play.

however, at middle nl and low nl this is kinda counterproductive to condusive strategic thinking.

the players pools are intensely larger at lower limits of play, and while some posters will say "oh, I know that guy", other's wont.

imo at these levels, it is better to just leave the names blank and provide hero's reads on villain's, hero's image and villain's image. This way the people giving input to the hand can more precisely detail how they feel the line is or how they would play it differently, as opposed to just throwing names out there.
