What made you choose you poker alias?

izzysteer

Hi all,

I was just wondering when playing last night, what made everyone choose their table name?

Mine is fascinating; My name is Izzy Steer.

Izzy

hhyftrftdr

My name is hhyft rftdr, so yeah a pretty simple choice for me also.

dangerdai

Hi izzy, this should be an interesting thread, so here is my reasons for my alias..

when I started work as an apprentice mechanic I was quiet dangerous with sharp objects and hammers, and the other mechanics gave me the nick name dangerousdai, as there where 2 davids already working there.. 

This had to be slightly shortened for sky so it had to be dangerdai, 

Good luck at the tables..

NoseyBonk

Stupidity.
Seeing as this character was on TV in the 70s I just know at some point I'm going to have to ask Customer Services to rename me...

unknown_username

As a lifelong fan of Plymouth Argyle, and thus a member of the Green Army, the choice was obvious so, like the previous poster, the answer is stupidity.

HITMAN_RV

Following an 'On-pitch' altercation with the Hardest Man in Argentinian Rugby, Hugo Porta, [Later became Argentinian Minister of Sport],  in Buenos Aires, about 1989, I became known throughout ShepBush, White City, Harlesden as 'Hitman Harvey', pmsl!

So poker name Years later was easy!

....and im only a Titch!!!

Macacgirl1

My kids are (Ma)tt (Ca)rl and (C)allum.
I use Macac as part of all online usernames, as it's easy to remember.
One of the boys registered me here, did the process and he chose girl1 to follow Macac.
I mentioned in a previous thread, the same delightful young man chose my online banking username. Macacbumface.

Hi Izzy 

Many moons ago, a guy I worked with called me Pudding. Not sure why, but who knows the inner workings of a man's mind ;~)

Anywho, when I met my beloved, he called me pudding too. So I have a squishy, sweet nickname and it stuck  

DoubleAAA

I often played in a poker club in the Philippines called 'Double A's' so I thought id use that name but added a 3rd A on for good measure

iatehorse

because there isn't enough space for for Ishopattesco's

paige55

hi IZZY, my alias came from my favorite show at the time,called the charmed ones,my favorite character was paige Matthews the 5 in my alias is when she joined the series,yes you lot series 5 and not the year i was born as some of you think :):):)

jdsallstar

Mine came from my sky sports dream team name "jdsallstarS". When I signed up to sky poker i got a little confused during the sign up process and somehow typed my team name in again but  the full name didn't fit so "jdsallstar" was born. 

Regretted that moment ever since lol it's a bit like wearing fluorescent pink football boots you have to actually be good to get away with it. Sigh

Mine is because of my love for one of the greatest singers around. Such a beautiful voice for such a big guy. How, or why he never appears in UK top 40 nowadays is one of life's mysteries!

LONG LIVE RIK!!!!

mac24

how many of a certain fast food burger in one sitting would cause me to take a week off work?

So does this mean that if we all call you Rik you won't do one now you've learnt to embrace it?

Mine's totally original and I was greatly honoured when Zhang Yimou named his epic film House Of Flying Daggers after me

Your Posts never fail to amuse me.

johnfrum

my name is not John. I took the name from one of the cargo cults/religions from the Pacific, specifically, Tanna Island. The islanders are waiting for my return, bearing gifts. So any chip donations for the Islanders, see me at the tables.

BorinLoner

I don't like to talk about it.

mrsduck

Well...I'm not married and I don't look like a duck!

When I was signing up for the first time to a different site , I couldn't think of a name...it was around easter and I was eating an easter egg at the time. My mum had bought me and my boyfriend matching eggs shaped like ducks called Mr and Mrs Duck so my boyfriend suggested I call myself that!
Very happy with my name.

FWIW, I play on other sites under the alias 'abibighand'.

My mate used to date a girl called Abi. One new years eve a few years ago, after a few shandies, he showed us a home video on his mobile. She appeared to have quite a large hand.

----------------------------------------------------

Tikay, is that sarcasm that I detect?!

unknown_username

mine is after a racehorse I once named and part owned.

He was out of a French mare by Vaigley Great and was a grey so vaigret rhymes with Maigret.

Absolutely not. Some folks, I always look forward to reading their posts, as they are constructed with what appears to be care & aforethought. Yours are generally laconic & very funny indeed.

Think you recently Posted a corker on "Top of the Posts", & I commented on that, too. 

Take it at face value bud.

Mine came from the Harry potter books I was reading at the time. (10 yrs ago) I first used it on another site which I better not mention but now use it as a habit on poker sites I sign up to.

My real name is Peter

bludreid11
