Do avatars make a difference to your strategies?

[elchonga]

The truth is that I don't even pay attention to the avatars
I don't see how they can influence anything

 

[MattRyder]

I try to turn avatars off if I can. Some are really annoying. Some screen names are downright offensive too.

Avatars only help me recognize the opponents. Most of the time, I will pay attention to their name first.

I don't tend to look at the avatars, I'm more interested in the hands that I am playing.

What is an avatar? OK yes I know but thats what they mean to me. I have no problem with people having them but I tend to ignore them.

 

[jcxmendes]

the avata for me has no importance, but rather the villain's style

Here is my problem and I'm sure others can relate to it.

It is all shits and giggles until a Walrus turns up. Now, I do not even notice most avatars as I focus on every other thing but a walrus is where I draw the line.

I mean, and I may repeat myself, but dare play against this:

Lol, I have never thought about players avatar as a skill factor. I look at their playstyle and thats it. Nickname or avatar doesn't make difference, only if it's player I have played with before then I know his game and recognize him by nickname. Sometimes avatar gives a little something if it's poker school logo, but in my experience even there are fishes

 

[zipocool]

ahahahah, what information can the opponent's avatar give us?) we need to look at his playing style and statistics, but the avatar is of little use to us

focused!!!
when you look at your opponent's avatar it intimidates you or gives you strength.?

The avatars of my opponents do not affect my game in any way. The avatar doesn't matter, it's all about the player's skill and luck.

 

[legend309]

I don't think so, but for example on pokerstars I have no avatar because I want players to be less likely to remember my play. When I see a distinguishable avatar and then see it again later, I remember that player

 

[tladake]

I think it has more meaning for me than for other players. I like symbols and animals, sometimes I put avatar that remind me about something that I want remember at the time. For examle to remember to be more flexible and unpredictible i put a dragonfly as my avatar. Its is infomration for me not for others.

Some avatar can make me laugh, but that's all, it don't change my play.
If my avatar make a difference on other's strategies, it was not my goal.
