I'm thinking something that has a nerdish connotation associated with it, since the other players might get the feeling that I really know what I'm doing because I'm a nerd who has nothing better to do.

I wish I had been more creative when I had initially signed up @ FT & PS. I wanted to use my nick = bazerk but it was taken :( so I just went with a deviation of my IRL name.

Anyhow...how about pocketprotector? I envision that to be quite nerdy (don't know it it's available though) & it's poker related.

I'm liking Kasanova King's DeadliestCatch also.

I dont think we are helping much OP wanted something semi intimidating. If you want to sound smart just name yourself after a theorem.

I vote for "The OverAnalyzer".

Seriously. If I'm playing you, I don't care what your name is because my experience was it was a PITA to find something not already taken. If I think about your name at all, which I won't...yeah, I'll stop there because I won't. Your name is just a label I use to figure out if we've played before. Pick one and hit the felt.

I'm struggling to come up with a good online poker name. I know that a poker name has such a small impact on the game, but I'm fairly serious about poker and want to get it right. For those who believe that a poker name is completely irrevelant, think about it: if you met two people who were identical in every way except their names, your FIRST impression would be different. Let's say for example, Bob and Quisim(spelt correctly?)

I want the name to be intimidating in a sense; not something badass or scary because most players will see straight through that, and it cannot have the word shark or something like fisheater in it, because through my experiences, the majority of those players are amateurs at best. Remember though, that the name can sound intimidating, but not agressive, because that would give away something of my playing style; I want the name to be sort of ambivalent, so that I can play with lots of different styles without my name suggesting that I am this sort of player.

I'm thinking something that has a nerdish connotation associated with it, since the other players might get the feeling that I really know what I'm doing because I'm a nerd who has nothing better to do.

I'm not sure if I am on the right track with creating a name. For example, one player I read about had his online name called durr... He called it this as it might contribute to someone going to tilt.

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, as the best I have come up with is helix 8, which is not that great.

Read KillerPoker.... author suggest it's REALLY BAD to try to have an intimidating name. He actually suggest having a name that has no direct connotations with anything... & make it non-gender specific & if anything, make it the opposite of intimidating or aggressive sounding (ie. name of dog... Spot... or whatever).
I've actually seen some really good players with the word 'fish' in it (SFD comes to mind.. S F'n Deeb)

you may want a name with the word donk in it. Although you will be portrayed as a donk, it may work to your advantage and people will underestimate your abilities

Your name should be something that you like. A name that you will still like for however long you plan on using that account for. I can't think of anything at the moment, but good luck on your quest on finding a good online poker name!

I saw one today that looked like a newer account (spelling might not be exact)... lolrushaments. Wonder if it had anything to do with the new feature on Fulltilt? (yes.. it was on a rushpoker table)

I've got some screenames I've thought about using but I can't reveal them because I'll be using them on future sites I deposit on.

Just pick something... FT support will let you change it... I've changed mine from

SeanPilgrim -> oXxSINNERxXo -> CloseYourLegs

They'll grant your request as long as it's for a Legitimate reason lol

So obviously having my first and last in there was dumb...

I got bored of oxxsinnerxxo and told them I was offending religious fanatics

and sometime in the next few months I'll tell them that my current SN is offensive to women...
