Story behind the user names

[CORed]

CO the abbreviation for Colorado, my home state (I am one of the rare natives.)
Red is for red chip, the biggest you can bet in Colorado casinos.

So we can call you "Colorado Red"...almost as good as "Tiny" or "Minnesota Fats"......cool [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Just a guess, but I think that is short for speckled trout, AKA brook trout.

Off topic:
In the West, where brook trout are an exotic species which tend to out-compete and displace native fish, overpopulate their habitat and become stunted, fishermen disparagingly refer to them as "Brookies".

"Bart I don't mean to alarm you, but there is a Boogie Man, possibly Boogie Men in the house"

"Homer..what happened?" "OOOHH nothing Marge...just a little run in with the BOOOGIE MAN!"

This was the best episode ever.....

I played at a table with you once when you play Q-6o in middle position and sucked out. The loser of that hand went off on you unmercifully for 20 or 30 minutes. Not only that you put him on tilt and he lost his whole bankroll. It was pretty funny. I figured your name was derived from your ability to put opponents on extreme tilt. Any time I see your name anymore, I think about that episode and chuckle.

I remembered the Tuco name but didn't know his last name was Ramirez.

Heh, it is good to know my namesakes are up to no good, however, the only site I have played as something close to tiltboy was True and that was as tiltboy2 because somebody already had the tiltboy nick.

When i started playing poker i didnt plan on becoming an Uber-expert, or worshipped forum poster like ive become so i didnt spend a lot of time on my username, and to tell you the truth I am really not in love with it.

But here is the story.

Rusty because it is a family joke. I have an Uncle Rusty, and in my hometown there is a handicap guy named Rusty and he is kind of a local legend. Also because i liked friendly giant as a kid and they had Rusty Rooster.

The Jedi part is because i wanted a name with two parts to it and nothing beats a jedi knight.

[tiltboy]

I always thought your nick meant you were a Jedi in need of practice.

[rusty JEDI]

yes perhaps jedi rusty would have been more appropriate.
