blonde poker forum

Hi guy's and gal's i've been playing poker for almost six years now and during this time i have played online under no less than 8 different nick names. Among them are Rigsy (an old nick name from my school days), Rigglington (a pet name from my wife), Card_Shark (i couldn't think of anything better) and Granny_smith (i was really getting desperate here).

I now feel the need to change name yet again but i would like one that i can carry forward to my live game too, the trouble is that i cant really think of one that suits me, this is where you can help me.

The challenge is for you to help find me a nick name that i will finally stick with for the remainder of my poker playing days.

This may help for those of you that dont know me:

My real name is Steve Read.

Im 42 years of age living in Lincoln, UK.

I run a taxi company and have done this for the last 15 years.

I tend to make a lot of pre flop raises and post flop re raises (im very aggressive).

After entering a pot i always lower my sunglasses over my eyes, i rarely lower my
sunglasses when not in a pot.

I am often told by other players that i look very scarey at the poker table this is
mainly due to me being a big guy with skinhead hair cut with at least a couple of
days worth of stubble along with the sunglasses.

Recently Johnny "texas" hewston said to me whilst playing at the same table said " i aint playing a pot with you, you look evil".

I am of course just a gentle giant.

Please give me some ideas for a new nickname, hopefully after a few days i will post on blonde a shortlist to be voted on. If you need any more personal imformation about me just ask.

many thanks

Steve Read.

Be lucky.

No No I will refrain

not sure why people need nicknames in poker - maybe its to mask their short comings at the poker table, they think that a nickname will make people believe they have accomplished something in the game?

Yours Sincerely

Which is good if he plans to stop playing on his 43rd birthday ;)

ok, I'll try and think of better



p.s Hope your Mrs was ok after Rob's do!

p.p.s I know you were rat arsed, but for a small payment I will not reveal what you were boasting about to the people outside the pub!!!

Whats rhymes with Read?

Erm..Do you wear tweed?

The Imp Gimp?


I'll get me coat.

tweedy Ready :)

How about Steve "The Razor" (raiser) Read?

'The Library' - Thats where most people go for "a good Read".........

Tighty, grab my coat while you are there :)up

If you've got a scary table image, I think that's the most important thing to reflect in a nickname.

Something with one syllable that has dark connotations to instill greater fear in all that face you across the felt.

I'm working on it, all I can think of now is "The quiche" but that's not really appropriate.

Time for lunch maybe.

Texas Read ' Em

Read rhymes with creed, so I suppose we could call you Apollo.

The Grim Reader


a play on Grim Reaper


(if you have to explin something its no good)


(coat on, going out the door as we speak)

Yes, I think Steve "Apollo" Read gets my vote.

The Whistler  :dontask:

I agree with Tank on this , i like Apollo. Although tighty has come up with some rubbish interesting ones himself

Dont go for "the pom" or "pommie" as i believe there is an Englishman by the name of Steve Read who has already taken those!!

Apollo was the leader of the muses. 9 Greek Godesses, good looking chicks, responsible for all artistic and scientific inspiration across the crazy mixed up world of ancient Greece.

Running a cab firm, thats pretty much the same thing innit?

If Apollo were around today (damn you Clubber Lang) I think that's the kind of gig he'd be into.

sorry to spoil your musings but there is a Rob "Apollo" Creed, father of littlemissc, Notts poker player.

Yeah but....

If there weren't at least eleven different Apollos, we'da never got to the moon now would we.

go to the broadway and ask Stephen Au Yeung, that's his gig

Steve "Sputnik" Read it is then.

miss?

Be wary using sites like this, the questions they ask for (first name, last name) then things such as "favourite film" etc etc are perfect opportunities to find out peoples personal details for ID fraud.

Most banks security questions arent anything more than "pets first name" or "favourite film/book" so its easy for someone to blag their way into your account when ringing one of these "out of country call centres"

trust me i've been on the wrong end of it!

Steve 'Roger Roger' Read

I have to agree, it's a jungle out there!!!

It says I should be called Claire "the concealer" MacGregor - think I'll stick with Claw!

For me it came up with: dont ever lend him no money or ask him to look after your dog whilst your on holiday only to find out that he let your £600 pure breed American pitbull run off bolt!!

I like it but it exceeds the 9 character limit most sites have!

Damn Clubber Lang............why??? Clubber Lang was reasonable for Mickey being r.i.p. but had nothing to do with Apollo's untimely death. I don't even believe they ever fought. It was Ivan Drago who took Apollo out in Rocky 4.

Yeah but he put so much effort into training rocky for that fight that he just didnt have enough left to give drago a run for he's money.

If he dies, he dies.........

me boasting ! i must have been hammered. we're both just about recovered from rob's doo mate thanks. keep em coming guys sure we'll get there soon.

I havent a nickname , but was nice to meet you and your Mrs at Robs last week  :)

You could call yourself "The Greengrocer"

same to you and yours charmaine

I like silly nicknames that are the total opposite to the person they are representing.

So for a big, burly bloke with a skinhead you should be 'Cousin It' (as in the Addams family character).

Sheriff

Wasn't there a poker nicknames site posted on here a while a go ?

How about The Grim Weeper (read 'em and weep) ok I'm leaving....

Steve 'button man' Read

should have explained button man is mafia term for killer also button as in dealer button

the first one i like is apollo but being a regular at notts too i couldnt possibly take someone elses name.

Hi
If your really stuck and desperate you could try http://www.pokernickname.com/?TTR02  !
Otherwise maybe sumthing like steve 'the steamroller' reed?

what about "the kaluki kid"  cos cabbies are always playing kaluki

Or Steve"you'll never guess who I had in the cab today" Read  ;hide;

keep em coming guy's the shortlist is....... well its short.

Unreadable

Steve "Hard" Read

Steve "I can't" Read.

Steve "hello little weed" Read, or in the same vein Steve "lubbalub" Read

The name could be based around the Taxi business...

Steve ''that's what the meter says'' Read

Steve ''don't throw-up on my seats'' Read

Steve ''chocky bikky'' Read

Steve ''car 54'' Read

.......I'm not good at this am I?

latest suggestions are getting better, i like a few of the suggestions but the taxi business related ones are possibly the way forward so maybe its something that relates to both cards and taxis. ive got 150 drivers none of which play kaluki the ones that do play cards all play poker or brag.

keep em coming guy's and gal's.

Steve 'The Knowledge' Read

Steve "Trips" Read - as in, er, trips in his taxi.
