[James282]

I like using my regular name as sort of a secret warning flag. Since I play shorthanded, and I don't believe myself to be a "weak" player, I can often keep other good 2+2ers out of my games if they can recognize my name. I know that ZeeJustin and GoT have both been in my games for a little while, and we just chatted for a few minutes and got a table change. Since it sometimes takes a while to figure out if someone is tough or an over-aggressive fish, I like to advertise "Stay Away!" Even if I am not great, there are definitely easier pickings out there. In shorthanded games, one tough player can make a pretty big difference, so I don't mind advertising. Besides, with all the dead money out there, nobody is going to take the time to "study" how James282 or LetsRock plays - why figure out how to beat a decent player when you can steamroll one who sucks?
