I just wanted so see if I could start a thread about the merits of revealing one's screen name. For a while it was like I didn't want someone to know who I was unless I knew who they were, but I'm seeing so many regulars over and over that it's not like I'm a complete mystery to them anyway.

There was a post by yugo, then I resfreshed and it had disappeared? Am I going crazy now?
To be on topic, I don't see why it would be good if everybody knew my party sn. |

Well there was one where we all posted our now defunct ones from MultiPoker, Eurobet etc. I don't care if anyone knows those - especially as I was playing the $11-33 then anyway so I bet nobody would even have a clue. I had some great Empire ones that never saw the light of day. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

It's not that it would help, but maybe it wouldn't make any difference and it's not really worth going to any trouble to protect.
It seems like most of the big $215ers here don't protect their screen names and maybe this is because they see the same people so many times it doesn't really matter. |

[/ QUOTE ] It certainly helps, and helps one's earn %, but if you're playing 8-10 tables at once in sets, it's kind of hard to do. Of course, by people knowing who you are (or at least knowing you're a winning player), some "selective tablers" you want to avoid may just avoid you at times, helping your own lazy arse and your earn % a tad...so even if you don't selectively table yourself, people knowing you may help you a bit. |

[/ QUOTE ] I used to protect my screen name, but at the $215s I don't think that it really matters. The only advantage that I can see from being secret is that when people play with you the first couple of times they have no reads. If you 8 table the bigger SNGs regularly though everyone will already know you. |
