Default Think u can get more calls with a better screenname?

Today I was playin 100nl on UB, had 10 9 and flopped bottom two pair on A 10 9 flop. some people checked, I bet, one called, turn was a blank, and the caller goes allin for about $50 into a $15ish pot.

Now i just came to the table, so without any reads on the other player I'd normally fold this. However, her SN was TexasCrazyLady, so somehow that influenced me to call--I seriously would've folded if her SN didnt have "crazylady" in it.

So guys, u think it can be pretty +EV to have a SN like that? I think over the long run TexasCrazyLady is gonna get a lot more calls in those situations than most other guys with regularer screennames, and it has to add up.

Mine is a super fishy sounding name, and it helps a LOT.

from my experiences screenames have normally been opposite of their playing style. i.e. crazylady plays tight, rockman10 plays LAG and so on.
