Default Re: Hand vs Erik123

A related story: There's a guy on IP who's name is Lager, but he's not Lager. At first, I refused to sit with him HU cuz I thought he was Lager. I dunno, mb he's better than me, but at best case for him he's quite likely only very minimally +EV vs me, so, by having that name, he saves himself the trouble of having to play a few hundred hands vs me and decide if he even has an edge vs me. Likewise, the people who DO choose to sit and play him HU probably have no clue who Lager is and it's therefore more likely they suck.

Obv this "fake name trick" won't last for him forever, because if I found out it's not Lager, I'm sure many others have too; some of whom very good players who might then be willing to take on this non-Lagerborg.
