Weird name pick


First of all, I have still been playing a lot of fixed limit Omaha Hi-Lo on UB. This morning's session was strange, to say the very least. The-Squirrel, who I have played with before whined about not going all-in on a winning hand - on a fixed limit game. This was a 1000-2000 bet table. One could assume that he knows what he's doing. Strangely, he uses the phrase "all in" instead of saying "I wish I had raised." I'll give you some points for normalcy on this one. Drunk, stupid, or just not with the lingo.


The Squirrel switched seats, as if this has any impact on the game. Watched for two hands and was gone.


Now, I sat at this table for damn near two hours and this is really weird. I came here to post about squirrel, found my screenshot was gone and within a minute the entire table I was playing on was gone. Suddenly, 5 or 6 people that were interested in my chips instead of playing real poker breathed a sigh of relief and called it a night.


Now, to the main topic of the post.


Naming. What do you call yourself? Do I make it based on my real name? Do I call myself Pustule? Since it's rigged AI do I just let the server pick a name at random based on some vague poker related name?

There's no user called Callitorfold


No user called Callitorfold1

No user called Callitorfold2


What the hell is the 3 for?


And this is the tie in to the first part of this post. Game admins can instantly manufacture a new "player" which generally makes your life miserable instead of playing real poker. "ey, you're not allowed to have more than 100k chips, what are you doing here? I'm going to toggle cheat mode and prove I'm a better poker player than you are!"


No. You aren't And especially, don't try and cheat me at Omaha Hi-Lo. I've played more of that than Hold"em. My pre-flop skills (when it's for real) are a 9.5 on a scale of 1-10. My pre-flop skills when it's not for real (heavy raising) are a 10. You would be better served by just leaving me alone instead of manufacturing obviously bogus players like Naught_Est that won way too many hands in the first few he/she sat at the table while I struggled to basically break even.
