Re: name influence
[ QUOTE ]
For limit, I liked having a recognizeable name because I felt like opponents "feared" me more. For NL, I hate it because people are more willing to take shots at me since they know I am relatively tight postflop. -James [/ QUOTE ] couldn't agree more... thanks for making up my new and improved, better than ever NL moniker.

Re: name influence
it makes sense that ppl would take shots at you particularly since you are percieved as someone who can laydown.
i guess its up to you to figure out whos who and then adjust. in this way it could be more profitable.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree with you...but it's not so much putting me to the test as it is putting in too many bets stupidly or making a hopeless raise at some point in the hand...and damn do I get paid off. Everyone always thinks I'm putting a move on them and calls me with hands I think they would fold if it wasn't me. Maybe I'm just retarded but I doubt it. It's like how you take players out of their comfort zones and they screw up hands. It's part of the reason I play so agressively live. Players just odn't know how to adapt.

Re: name influence
I haven't been able to read all of the responses so this may already have been suggested, but I would take a look at your PT numbers.
I have been playing the skins under two names, one of which is "known". I was thinking of changing the "known" name except that my BB/100 is higher. I'm not sure that it's a statistically significant difference but it's enough of one to convince me not to change. I think I may be able to steal more, particularly pre-flop, playing under my "known" name.
