Has anyone tried using a feminine user name?

It is weird that some guys would associate you with the toon in the seat. But if they knew what you really looked like from your avatar, they'd probably be hitting on you anyway.

You mean like grjr?

I can't believe this thread has been alive all day and I'm the first to say this.

If you're playing live, you might find that an entire sex-change is +EV.

My wife has a couple accounts and I think it's probably +EV to play under them. Not many female players are maniacs so when you play very aggressively I think you are more likely to be given respect. Not by much but every little bit of edge helps. It is weird though. You get a lot of guys messing with in the chatbox you when you play as a female. They'll either hit on you or get really crude and try to degrade you. It brings a weird vibe to the table that can be annoying if you're not in the mood for it.

turn the chat off... I'm on perma-mute now...

Sometimes if something weird is happening at a table, I'll listen in on the chat to see what's going on, but then turn it off again.

All my accounts are female (as am I), so I cannot speak to the question of differing results.

But I can say that there are a lot of sad and lonely (or just sick!) men playing poker online - especially on Party! It is a rare ring game session that I don't get hit on and it is not unusual for me to have to turn off chat on a guy because it is too much.

Your avatar is sexy. Would you like to be my internet girlfriend?

Sorry.

Edit: After seeing Droolie's response... I'd just like to request that grjr doesn't take me up on the offer. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't see how this could affect your success in the game too much, unless you were flirting with the players. A difference of 2BB isn't that significant over 7000 hands either.

I wonder how well it worked for the man with the $100,000 breasts.

Didn't that guy look a little like Bill Gates?

I don't watch too much t.v. so I don't know too much about this.

...and flirting with players rather than watching the game has to be -EV too.

On Stars I had Alizee as my avatar for quite awhile and I would get guys saying how beautiful my eyes were, and folding their blinds to me because I was beautiful, lmao.
