You are not really a full-fledged poker player until you have a good nickname. But be sure and pick the one that best suits your personality. There are basically four different styles from which to choose. First, there is the regional nickname. For instance, the great Texan, Doyle Brunson, likes to be called Texas Dolly. Or, you might opt for a name that reflects your positive qualities. Barry Greenstein is known as “The Robin Hood of Poker,” because he has contributed much of his winnings to charity. The third kind of nickname is derived by picking a person that you closely resemble. Poker champ Paul Clark is called Eskimo, not because he is from Alaska, but because his looks are a dead ringer for those of the Eskimo that Alaska Airlines uses as its logo. If none of these styles are what you are after, then as a last resort you can turn to the ironic nickname; one that describes you as the exact opposite of how you really are. Call yourself Lucky Dog if you haven’t won a game of Holdem poker in recent memory. You’re Moneybags if you tend to bet cautiously or Mr. Clean if you came to the game without bathing.
