Default Re: Bringing in 1000+BB at a small stakes limit table

I actually tested this out AND changed my nickname on party

Before my nickname was something mundane
After my nickname was PokarIsEasy

I sat at .5/1 tables with 25, 100, and 500 dollars, all with similar table stats, this is by no means scientific, but I tried... about 500 hands at each condition

I got more action with a memorable nickname initially because people remember the name when I play a hand and think Im raising too much and am cocky or something of that nature.. but after a few orbits they realize I played solidly and remembered not to get involved with "PokarIsEasy" whereas a name like akdf231 is harder to remember

I got most action with the 500 dollar stack because people just assumed I was tilting or could afford to bluff or raised trash

I got the least with the 100 dollar stack. It isnt too asinine, and it commands some respect "Hey, this guy has enough to bring 100 bets to the table, he must be in this for the long run"
