I have heard that it is very important to change your pokerklient screenname to keep others from tracking your play.
Is that correct?
I am proud of my screenname why change it???

most sites wouldn't allow a screenname change, although there are a couple that allow it as much as a couple of times a day.

Usually poker sites does not allow changes in screen name, a specific case is where the poker site will change to another network, then you can choose another screen name, but not change the username.I like to change my screen name, only if I could change on all poker sites that have account. :D

You don't have to change your name now for almost all the rooms have the option to hide me from the search. Put a tick and use.

In many rooms can change nickname , it all depends on what limit you play, if at medium or higher, you do not change because it is deemed an advantage..
If microstakes is a high probability that can change nickname...

The reason why people change their nickname is indicated personal information ( real name and surname, date of birth ) 90% a support that will change your nickname..

And the main reason to gain an advantage, the statistics for the player is reset at the various sites and tracker

That would not give opponents information about your game, in my opinion it is obvious.

I don't think they're talking about people searching for you on the poker site itself, I think that they're talking about places like sharkscope that track players by player name and make their stats publicly available.

Usernames should not be allowed to be changed.
This makes taking notes irrelevant.
