blonde poker forum

During a moment of boredom, i decided to look through the members list to see what weird and wonderful "screen names" we have amongst us ...

I have seen an Action man, an axxe man, a goth man, a huse man,a kash man, a speed man, a dice man and a welsh man. I have also seen a del boy, a geordie boy, a lang boy, the boy,the kid, the milky bar kid, and the ugly kid.


But I have also seen a seedier side to the forum ;)
we have the King of filth, a hustlah, a freak, the poker whore,a tight end, Dirk diggler, a winkie, a wobble and a rear end rumper  :o

Oh and the forums newest member is called ...... DAVE   lol 

I know, i know, its embarrassing, but It was the name given to me by my Mum, what can i Do???  lol

There are still some of us who like to put our names to our opinions though aren't there. I never post, write or say anything I won't sign and take the consequences for.
It's a fairly friendly board as well though, which helps

Intrestig to note that whilst there is a Del Boy ,a Geordie boy , a lang Boy and the Boy ... I cant seem to see reference to the most famous of Boys .......Matey Boy ;D

LOL LOL    Matey boy is barred from the site for inflicting bad beats on all the members.

I think it would be interesting if people told us why they chose their alias. Mine was born when no one played very much poker in this country, at least not that I knew of, It was all three card bragg, shoot, crib, pontoon, crash etc

we were playing these games in a dealers choice sort of fashion but people were coming up with werid and wonderfull games that no one, including themselves, knew the rules to

Not to be outdone when my turn came to choose I said, "Montana red dog" cos Id heard some cowboys in a film say it, of couse I didnt know how to play it, still dont, but, according to the rules I made up, my hand happend to be the best

I did have another alias, bestowed upon me by the regulars of Annabelles in coventry, T.A.P.S.
 (thick as pig shit) but Im trying to live that one down

lol red dog  ;D Ruru is derived from the complete and utter inability of people to spell or pronounce Ruairidh (roor-ee) :o Silly Irish names eh???

Tight End is nothing perverse, or originally nothing poker related, but is the position I played for a (loosely) semi-pro american football team in the British League about fifteen years ago.

By the time I started playing poker, with a tightish style to start out with, it became something that seemed appropriate

Still an NFL saddo, which puts me in a huge minority but offers fantastic opportunities for beating UK bookie supremacy spreads on games in a season that begins every September.

Karabiner was the name(amongst others) which a lot of the Greek players in Notts. used to refer to me as.

I believe it means "wild thing" or something similar.

 ;)

Id wondered about yours Karabina because it's a word called out most nights still in notts

MIne derives from on old nickname from my football playing days at Wolves (only youth level), I once wore one of the rockesque black tshirts with a print of a blue wolf's head on it  under my shirt and scored a hattrick hehehe the name has kinda stuck from there, I've also since found out its an ancient Mongolian Legend too. Sad really i'm know known more by this than my real name in work circles thanks to a certain Blondite and his TV show

Ruru, are you the Ruairidh that I have exchanged e-mails with at Betfair ?

AlrightJack is derived from a line in Pink Floyd's 'Money', which I thought was particularly appropriate as a poker screen name.

'Money, get back, I'm AlrightJack, keep your hands off my stack'

People don't seem to get the message though  :(

That would be him Karabiner. Mine is quite simple and obvious and was given to me in a live game because I go on and on and on. Either that or because im hung like a hoover ;D

Tightend... Which British Team did you play for?

Ipswich Cardinals. in between my main commitments to rugby.

i have no idea why i got my name or why it stuck

I acquired at university, there were several people on my corridor callled Paul so it got confusing and everyone got nicknames. I listened to "Manu Chao" a bit in the first week and he has a catchy tune titled "bongo bong" (it's about a drum playing monkey ???). Anyway several of the lines in the Chorus are variations of "king of the bongos". So I got called "king of the bongos" or "bongo guy" etc, eventually shortened to bongo. It stuck and everyone calls me bongo, even my boss.

And no I can't play the bongos, closest I can do is playing Donkey Konga.

I used to play Wide Receiver/Free Safety for the Gwent Mustangs.

In the early 80's  I was a union rep in a small firm. It was the time of "red robbo" etc and one of my workmates tagged me redsimon as I was always on my soapbox ;D. It sort of stuck. Plus I follow the "reds" Nottingham Forest ::)

No originality in mine ... Police Dog Handler, hence K9, and sixtwo was my callsogn when internet first started now its changed but Ive stuck with sixtwo..... It is not a bizzare starting hand preference at Omaha
Many years ago I played Right Guard for the Newton GW's in Devon to continue the American Football note...Dont know if we played gwent ..but i recall being royally kicked around by Swansea...

Everyone have such amazing stories about their nicknames. So mine is:

S for Strong
I for Interesting
G for Genius
75 for the number of millions I have made on poker.


*sigh*, nope, my christian name is Sigbjorn, hence the shorter version 'Sig', and yep, I am born in 1975...

1975....I got my driving licence, tikay got his bus pass...

and it was the year that i moved up to big school :)

Many Ex-American Football players on here. Very strange. I used to play years and years ago in my youth. Played in every single position throughout the years except for Quarterback. That was too hard for me. As I got fatter I got into lazier positions. HEHEHEHEHE.

Played for Fylde Falcons, and Lancashire Wolverines and had a tryout for the England team, which due to my stupidity as a youth, I never went to.

Y Yogi Bear tho. I don't know???????? just thought it might start conversations.

It didn't.

Yogi

thought it was cause you looked like boo-boo

I was given the name of The_Brief because of my job. I now spend time on the internet, and sometimes card rooms, giving back to the card playing community the Legal Aid money previously paid to me by the Government, God bless 'em. As you see I don't use it all of the time.

What a fascinating thread!

I have to say I thought "Karabiner" meant muppet.......

Keep 'em coming boys, & well done Kev for starting a thoroughly entertaining thread.

ahem...

ok, fair do's, Kev did start it

Oops, upset Red-Dog now.

What a thoroughly entertaining thread you started there Red-Dog.....

Im unupsetable, you shold know, you've tried hard enough

Splendid use of the English language. You can look all day in the OED & you won't find "unupsetable". Or even "shold"......

I'll try busting you out of the Gutshot comp Red-Dog, that'll put you to the test. I aint busted anyone for 3 years.

Fancy a 10 last longer, If I win I'll prob be in final cos you'll bubble

You got it.

By the way, remimd me to give you that "packet" you loaned me in Sheffield.

I didn't realise that as well as French and Norwegian,

you are also fluent in Greek !

Haa, i wasn't even Born then.

20th May 1981

1981 Dave? Jeez, you are young enough to be my son. Almost. Enjoy your posts by the way, keep 'em coming.

My Dad is 45!

"My dad's younger than you.... nah nah na nah nah; ;D ;D

Your Dad is 45? There's a coincidence.

Ha ha ha walking into that one didn't i!

good one mate. Ill get you for it tho. Guard your chips ;)

Well, I'm even younger, so I reckon Mr Kendall could pass as my grandad.

 ;D

And the origins of your alias snoopy LQ?

will you tell, or shall I?

what's the LQ?

my alias here is snoopy1239

I have no idea what you're talking about (cough)

 ::)

Tell us Red-Dog, do tell us.........

Nah! If Red-Dog wants to stay alive in some of those ladbrokes comps then he'll know to keep hush hush.   ;)

Tikay - a grandad? - I actually convinced our entire table in Jesolo that Tikay was my grandad - they all fell for it until i tried to call him it to his face. When he came to see how i was doing. - i said - "oh, there you are grandad", this was meant with a quick snigger and "f**k off" from Tikay and my bluff was exposed.

the story behind action man, is that when i turned 18 i decided to work in a betting shop, an old man used to come in and have a lucky 31 every saturday. One day it came off ( all 5 Winners ) worth around 7,500.  He was a really lucky guy. Anyway one day he gave me a little actionman cap. sadly he died a week later, so i now use it as a luckycharm/ holecard protector.

some good stories coming up here noones explained where Tikay derives from tho lol

It's a misconception that Tikay comes from Tony's initials TK. The TK that Tikay actually dirives from stands for Two Kings which is of course Tonys minimum starting hand.

For RED-DOG  :)

My nickname The Wall comes from..........wait for it.................

My name is Steve Wall hence The Wall! which is what my mates call me............ not very creative!

On other (non poker) forums I always use Replenish as my handle which is the title of Reefs first album back in 1995.

I could have sworn, you were a Pink Floyd man. Wrong again!

Looks like 'RoyCropper' has recently registered as a newbie too........aka 'KenBarlow' as well if I'm not mistaken so clearly a big Eastenders fan....

Hi Junior,

GFY.

Best regards.

huh?
was this supposed to be here Tikay?

what is GFY - does that mean good for you?

LOL  i think it may have something to do with self reproduction ;)

from now on you will be known as "brick"

Yes, Junior, it was.

Pack this Grandad malarky in. Good For You it's NOT.

sorry

but are grand dads allowed to tell there grand kids to go **** yourself?

No idea. How would I know?

As requested bt Tikay on another thread.

The village where I come from has a biscuit factory that makes the "world famous"Tunnocks Teacakes. In our home game After I had won one evening I proclaimed myself TPT Champ(TPT being the name of our home game), I was quickly brought back down to earth when it was commented on that I was more like the Tunnocks Teacake eating champ.  :D
I usually bring along a box of Teacakes now & use one as a card protector hence the name Teacake.
Incidentally I played online with a player named Doughnut in a Sit & Go much to the amusement of the other players with comments like "are you 2 related". I had the last laugh  tho as I won by beating Doughnut heads up  ;D

For the record I am also a natural blondie  8)

I was playing a laddbrokes comp when Tim Tim and Snowey sat down.

Guess it must be Herge's dyslexic adventures.

Oh, how we laughed...  ::)

"world famous Tunnocks Teacakes" eh? Yeah, right.....

But the bit that caught my eye is that you use a biscuit box as a card protector. Jeez, how big are the cards you use up there?

LOL

No, not the box Tikay, I use the biscuit.  :D

I know it sounds weird you really need to see a Tunnocks Teacake to see that it works.
It has a flat biscuit base with a mallow topping (round), covered in chocolate & wrapped in foil.

PMSL

I can't believe I'm on a Poker site describing biscuits  :D :D :D

Junior My Grandad used to give me 50p like a good grandad should

HMMmmm interesting ..we could start a new thread on preferred snack whilst playing online lol
Im quite partial to a jaffa cake :) That old fella Tikay prob has a bag of werthers originals lol. Ariston will have GariBALDY's :) and red dog strikes me as a wagon wheel type of guy ....as for Ironside ...hmmm well he prob just bites the tops of Irn-bru bottles, drinks the fluid then eats the glass...deep fried of course ;) :)

Over to you lot....

diet irn-bru if you please i aint allowed sugar in my diet

think kev just eats the other players when he is playing live its the only way he can win a pot

This is all your fault Teacake, fancy bringing food up on a poker forum, (no pun intended) and Kev speculated about what I like to snack on whilst playing well...this is by no means complete list but it might give you some idea of my tastes

I like anything pastry based

Anything with meat in it

Things with chocolate on

Fried things

Dairy products

Anything sweet

All sandwiches

Icecream

Chips, (fish optional)

Pasta, all shapes/types

Toast, with little islands of unmelted butter

Bombay mix

Curry....

You know, this reminds me of a time, years ago, when my old mucker Jimmy Calladine and I were re sealing some corrugated chicken houses on a battery hen farm. Hundreds of them there were, and the stench was indescribable, everyone was sick on there first visit, but we didnt mind, we were earning a crust

Anyway, it was heavy, dirty work and too much for the two of us, so we employed about half a dozen lads on a day to day, cash in hand basis.

Now this chicken farm was out in the sticks, miles away from anywhere, which was just as well considering the smell, so we used to stop at a transport cafe on the way there and say to the lads, "eat whatever you want boys, there's nothing else untill we finish"

Well, this particular day we had a new guy, Trevor, stick thin he was, and about six foot seven tall. When he got into the cafe we couldnt believe it, he just ate everything in sight. Sausage egg and chips we had, he had a double portion with extra bread and butter, and after polishing it off in record time it was, "av yer finished  wiv them chips" or "don't you want that sausage"

When we arrived at the farm we all piled out of the van, Trevor got one whiff of the terrible smell and promptly threw his guts up.

After a few minutes he regained his composure, wiped his eyes and stood back to admire his handywork. There, resting amongst the remains if his jettisoned breakfast, was almost a whole sausage.

" I'm not wasting that bugger" he said, and he scooped it up and ate it!

By the way Teacake, welcome to the forum.

Great bedtime story Red-dog.

Pure class !

lmfao  ;D!

Not sure what bit made me laugh most. "Sorry for bringing up food on the forum".

But that sausage at the end - that's me done with sausages for life......

Nearly put me off me jaffa cakes, but now i have a hankerin for a sausage sarnie :-\

Well get to bed Kev, & Red Dog's mate will bring you something up.......

Eewwwww not nice!

I have 7 free ranging chucks in my back garden who do NOT stink, just for the record.

Can I remind all about RED-DOG's previous meal description :

"When it arrived it was like a cows left buttock in a bloomer, complete with proper chips and a salad"

I cant wait til vegas so i can have a decent steak... they can keep the black bean chowder soup, but the steaks are the best in the world :)   

name is 'freak' cos i have little feeling down the left side of my body due to an accident involving a roof and a large gust of wind, have been known to be talking to people (saying can you smell burning) while my arm was on fire... what a waste of beer that was.
my other poker alias is 'pokerhell' ......comes from my time running card rooms for you lot

My alias on vcpoker, which I have since uninstalled as it drove me nuts was..

MrFloppy.

Shall I go on...?

I had a steering wheel down my underpants once, that used to drive me nuts!

I played on laddies many moons ago for a few weeks as "norfolknchance" (someone had already taken ariston). They froze my account and I have never returned.

Very apt though Ariston. Some cracking posts on here, keep them coming.

I was on Blue Square earlier with a guy called Uda Fkaryoo, I typed in " I love the name"  and he replied, "Thanks, I will tell me mum and dad"   :D

I had an account on Full Tilt poker as "hoofhearted"  :D

Welcome Lady Ref, this is a cracking forum I'm sure you'll enjoy it

Robert, myself and lovely scottish lady are getting acquainted in another thread ;) :)

Welcome to Blonde, LadyRef, delighted you have joined us.

We usually ask newbies to go through a form of induction - behave boys - by asking them to explain their moniker, but even Colchester "How can AA lose to AA in Omaha" Kev would be able to work that one out.

Plenty of posts please, & remember, this Forum can accept full size pics as attachments, so if you wanna post a proper picture, be brave, go ahead!

so Michaela/Ladyref, we'll be seeing you on the next series of celebrity poker will we?

beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

and she plays poker (cf poker million on sky)

and whoever said women shouldn't play poker, behave!

Hi guys,

I have been pointed in this direction from another thread as a way of introducing my self. Been playing poker for a year so now. Quite a regular at the Gutshot actually as well as on Cryptologic.

My maths teacher used to call me Action (all go in those days) and Axe is a short form of my first name.

I have enjoyed reading your posts for a while now and I am sure I will contribute when (& even if I don't) have something interesting to say.

Welcome. I get to the Gutshot now and then, hope to meet sometime. Did you get to the William Hills Tourney?

I actually didn't play the WillHill Tourny but saw it on Poker425 the other day - great program really enjoyed it.

You saw the show, what about that guys jacket!!!

Tell him you liked it Action, tell him.

First name dan.

I look like a monkey.

I also play like a monkey.

I like the red card. I remember playing online against you Dan. In a league somewhere, monkey indeed!!  ::)

The red card is available for loan to tikay when he gets fed up with the grandad cracks.

I recall sitting at a table with you too briefy(!) I'll be keeping an eye out for you on Thursday.

Grandad? I've been "Old Father Time" tonight.....!

Surname Oliver, have got a little brother J ,who also posts on the forum and plays on and off line ,also like pretty women so hence my name , also play under 'The Big Oh' on some sites and at our little card club in the cotswolds (see website)

can you tell your brother once he has his clothes back on i'll have a steak (medium to rare) with chips and fried onion

We ALL like pretty women!

Tikay, a while back when i first joined you told me to describe the thesis behind my name

Most of the online alias's i have used in the past have all been music related, so for any of you that know, Sunday8pm is the name of an album by the music group faithless (the guys that did insomnia).

My previous alias was Fontaine, which was the surname of a Radio DJ/Artist.

I do this because i find it imposible to think of a decent name to use and tend to use the music i am listening to at that point!!

Well done in the Walsall freezeout Tikay now you can buy in to the WSOP

Sunday

pokerram very obvious of course my love of poker and being a life long fan of the best team in the east midlands Derby County

The book which inspired me to become an advantage gambler was Burning the Tables in Las Vegas by the legendary Ian Andersen. He also wrote a novel which I read sometime later about a group of people winning 1,000,000 from a casino in one night. The main character in the book was called Byron Kincaid. I had just read that book when an accountant called Chris Moneymaker won some big tournament in Vegas. I read that he won his seat on Stars so I decided to set up an account there and learn how to play poker. It seemed like a good idea to call myself after that character as a sort of homage to Andersen but it does cause a few problems with people thinking it's my real name. Still can't quite believe that in a week and a bit I'm off to play in that same big tournament.

Great story Byron, I think this thread should be fixed at the top, its one of my favorites

Sorry it's taken so long to get on the thread - too busy working...

My whole alias (too long for this forum) is HasAnyoneGotThisOne... it came about when I was trying to set up my hotmail account.

Despite having an almost unique first name / last name combo (sure that one or two people may have twigged who I am already...), whenever I tried to use it as my hotmail account, bloody hotmail would tell me that someone had already got it (un-bleedin' likely, IMHO). After trying endless variations around the firstname/lastname/first initial/last initial thing, I became frustrated (okay heavily pee'd off) with the whole process and typed the sarcastic comment "hasanyonegotTHISone" as a name...

Lo and behold, no-one had. Now I have.

ah i thought i was you lol. I remember that story being told to me by mr beard many moons ago.

Didnt think you had a active interest in the cardroom lol

i havent the foggest idea who anyonegotthisone is

have we met?

On a similar story my mate got: "ThereAreNoGoodNamesLeft2".

and you got bongo how unlucky was that

What's so funny about that is that he got "Therearenogoodnamesleft2"...

the reason people find it hard to get a good eamil address is because people like me have well over 500

i like www.mail.com for annonamous email address

I like http://www.dodgeit.com/ no need to sign up, but not private.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

NAKOR . .

If this inspires one person pick up this book(series) my work here is done.

Nakor is a character penned by Raymond Feist in the series started with the book Magician.  In my opinion the best book ever written.  Story, character depth, orginality, the book (series) has it all.

Nakor behaves like a child, is quick on his feet, a born gambler who never loses, has a story for every occasion, always has his nose where it does not belong, and believes 'there is no magic, only tricks'.

Needless to say a friend of mine suggested I used the characters name - sadly it was due to his affection of alcohol and loose women rather then his impressive skill at cards.

Nidavellir is a region in Norse mythology that was the home of the dwarves. Nidavellir is in the middle region of the nine worlds on the same level as Midgard

i was looking for a cool name for another forum i go to, when i saw this. And no unlike the name i am not short i just liked it.

And my wh name Vasuki is A king of the Nagas in Hindu myth, a nagas is In Hindu myth, nagas are a primeval race of divine serpent-people that play an important part in religion. They are half human and half snake, and are still worshipped as the bringers of fertility, especially in southern India.

Thanks Ian. Come on you new Members (hundreds of them in the last 2 months, literally), contribute. It's a condition of membership, you know.

Contrary to beliefs my name is from a strange accident on Ultimate bet. I had been playing $2/$4 nl for about an hour and brought my stack up from $300 to roughly $1900. I picked up A 2 on the big blind no raise before flop. Flop came over 3 5 A i checked and the next guy raised $400 for some reason. I actually honestly accidentally called as i went to press fold i dropped my fag on my lap and must have moved the mouse. He asked me what my kicker was as the next card came over 4 (lol). I typed in deuce is kicker as he went all in (happy christmas) As he asked me what my kicker was i didn't take him for 6 7 so I called . Turned over A Q? river Q lol
I took $1090 off him all due to me dropping a ciggie on my di(c)k. And 9 is my lucky number!!

and i thought Danny gave it to ya ::)

I thought it was a quote from his German girlfriend

POST OF THE MONTH LOL LOL LOL

with a name like dik I put myself in the firing line lol
I put D for deuce rather than T for two as I might end up with a strange name like TK !

Dani probably has called it me before and much worse probably... oh well....i wish i could tell you the story, but probably get into a litigation scenario. So I best keep shtum! :-X

Thinking about it Two is now my preferance!!!!

You see, that's what I like about this forum nobody, nobody, snipes at other regulars, at all, nice isn't it?

A lot of people ask me, what does golferscrote mean and i say, well, im a golfer and when i was younger an adult described me as a "scrote" as in scrotum, and it kinda stuck...so there you have it YA SCROTE'S!!!

Unlike Dik9, I cannot report an inadvertant burining of the biscuit barrel as the inspiration for my handle. Alas, Exorcism is the name of a particularly loud **** Off Heavy Rock track by one of my fave bands, Killing Joke. I used it as I also like the word "exorcism", it fits a lot of sylllables and meaning into its tiny frame and it is only 9 letters long so it fits in the 9-character maximum of some on-line sites. And, no, I am not into devil worship ::). Mind you, when I hit a set of 6's, some odd things happen to people's chips......

Shamefully i nicked mine off someone else, i thought it was the funniest i'd seen on a poker table so i had it for my own.

My bosses is rhincondon typus which is the exact opposite of a reflection of his play. (he's rubbish, strange for a very intelligent bloke)

Mine is boring compared to some of the stories on here - My name is Steve White and yt is only slightly better than whitey which is the name I was called while at school.... oh on stars I use yt_sbw because my middle initial is B (for Barry - Barry White the walrus of love! ahem, and also my Dads name so I proudly tell people who sing "can't get enough of your love baby" to me. Daddy dear is now dead -a dodgy Liver - too much booze. So take the piss with caution I also add to them!)
Incidentally the death certificate on a Liver failure victim doesn't really state the truth. The mode of death is actually dehydration as the poor Liver function causes the kidneys to fail and your body no longer processes the fuild you take in. You may as well be dying out in a desert. Ease off on that last pint people, it's not pleasant.

On a lighter note! -
BTW I thought Karabiner was this -
karabiner - an oblong metal ring with a spring clip; used in mountaineering to attach a rope to a piton or to connect two ropes

but did a search and its also a ton of other things! -

The Karabiner 98k was the standard weapon of the German infantery in the Second World War. The Karabiner 98k is a pepeating rifle. It means that after every shot it is necessary to load manual the next projectile from the magazine. The Karabiner 98k is a shortened version of the Mauser rifle 98. The Mauser rifle 98 was 1.25 m long and the Karabiner 98k is 1.11 m long. The letter k stands for the German word "kurz" (English: short). The repeating system Mauser is until today the best of the world. The Karabiner 98k could also be provided with a sight and then it could be used as a sniper rifle.

I was christened The Baron in our home games. My first name is Aaron. The imagination of my friends is truly awesome!!! However I don't think you should be able to choose your own poker nickname so The Baron "held up" ever since.

One time, a couple of mates and myself were watching some poker on channel 5(?) when Phil Taylor was on. One of the guys jokingly asked me, "is phil 'the power' taylor your dad?" (My surname is Taylor btw). At which point, another mate interjected "yeah he is, didn't you know?". After much persuasion (and a few more cans), captain gullible actually believed it, so much so that he called me "the power" every time he saw me. I guess it kind of stuck. We did break the news gently to him in the end.

P.S. Just for the record, I am in no way related to the darts legend.

Reminds me of the time i went to london to watch an arsenal game. I was in the Gunners pub near the ground having a few drinks wearing my shirt with BlueWolf on the back, when i was approached by an elderly gentleman also donning the hallowed red and white. he then decided to question me about our new summer signing Bluewolf and if he was any good lol i nearly wet myself lol

Need I explain mine?

Love this topic, up to now it's had me close the throwing up  (sausage), and laughing my head off - especially the grandad comments.  Now wondering if sugardaddy will ever come into it.

Trace

i just saw a name on partypoker called "ThePopeSmokesDope" LMAO, it reminded me of this forum so i stuck it in here

One of the papers running a story this week about online poker sites floating on the stock market.
The guy who made 2b floating Party Gaming is non other than Anurag Dikshit. How mad is that!
A very rich clever guy . And I bet the ladies are queing up to become Mrs Dikshit.
p.s
Sorry for being childish

Regards

ROFLMAO what a name lol

bluewolf .. do you go and watch arsenal much, ive got a season ticket and go to most games home and away

Can your doctor help you ??

bumpety bump bump.

We've had a whole heap of new members since this thread dropped into the basement.

I command  ::) that those members give us some belated explaniations to where they came up with their bizarre names.

Ok, pretty please...  :P

Yeah, how did hhhhhh get his name?

fell a sleep on the keyboard.

Next thing he know's he a fully pledged member of Blonde.  :blonde:

I wife always says to my son is the lodger in? I guess it was kinda appropiate also because my hotel business went bust a few years ago! I guess the amount of time we spend playing poker we could all be called Lodgers!

I've always been known as Fearn or Fearny as my surname is Fearn.  A few years back i was asked by an ex-teacher to help with her shool trips away camping for a week.  As I was in a formal position the kids had to call me Mr Fearn.  Weeks after the trip I was getting changed before playing football for the pub when one of the players called me Mr Hearn, I ignored it until he asked me to look after his keys on which he had a keyring with a photo of his kids, one of which had been on the trip.  SO I mentioned it to him and had to explain that my name was Mr Fearn not Mr Hearn.  Since then both football teams call me Mr Fearn or Mr F, this then spread through the pub into my table tennis team and out to my friends.  Only my mum calls me Ian now.

hi Dan, sorry just seen your post about the Gooners....Dont get to go these days much as its hard to get my hands on tickets especially when i wa sin blackpool, phonin up for tickets and having a non london address was a bit iffy. If you got any goin spare tho hehehehehehe

I have been Wardonkey for many years. The name was spawned when I was trying to find an email address that wasn't something boring such as name_name@hotmail. I had been called Warhorse by a few friends at school. This was due to my style on the sports pitch,which mostly involved great effort and little skill on my part. Anyway there were already loads of Warhorses and I didn't want to just add a number so my friend suggested Wardonkey and Wardonkey it has been since.

my name is Matt and i was born in June 1974

Monkeys not renown for good imaginations :(

 Well I play for the world famous Raspberry Ripples Cricket Club !!??.....founded while at Uni., one drunken evening 20 odd years ago.
 We've kept in touch ever since, playing a few friendly matches all over Europe and the UK during the Summer....any excuse for a get together and a drink or six !

.....and no I don't bat at 11.....but plain  "Ripple" is in use on most sites!

Divaflava - Well, I can't go into too many details but it involves a story i heard about kate moss and a bottle of stolli.

Given that I now get called Diva a lot, I kind of wish I'd never heard it... but it did make me laugh at the time.

Theres me thinking you was a prison officer?

Mine isn't very interesting. 

I used to play paintball, laser quest and the like as a youngster.  I got the name "If it moves" which evolved.  I didn't have the imagination to create something else when I started playing poker and have used it since day 1.

I'm tempted to change to Mr Fish, after Camel christened me a few weeks back.  ;D

"If it moves"? That's my Friday night thought process when I've got my beer goggles on.  :D

Way Back when the internet was just taking off, I wanted an individual name I could use for all games, email's and forms online.

I picked two random words and put them together.

Now if anyone searches for Acidmouse it's me.

Bundle.. when i was little people would say "oh what a bundle of joy"

lmao      well thats what i'm sticking to anyway

TheNun.. Well............it is because like a Nun .regardless of all my sexual inuendo.I am truly devoted to one man ...Mr Nun..x

Ah that's nice, now if you would just get him his own crypto account!

This all started 8 years ago when in work if something happened i would always say that was ****ing Hectic, they then started calling me DavyHectic which has then been shortened just to Hectic

lol - i like it. good nickname. So do we call you DaveyHectic or Hectic or either?

Boy, that was hectic.  :D

Anytime!  Anyone who likes magnums is a friend of mine!  :cheers:

I don't get it  8)

lol - quick mover.

Its about time I poked my ugly head into this thread.

My name is simple. Its my name!

Mike Thomas... mikkyT.

Back in 1998 when I was signing up to hotmail, I did not have an online psudonym, and I tried to sign up with variations on my name. I did not want to be mike175 or mikethomas86. Or mikey32467 etc.

All the trainees I worked with were calling me Tomo or "Micky T". I tried Mickyt and got the same response, mickyt21. So I changed the c to a k and the rest is history. Every google link for the name is mine, and nobody to my knowledge has ever used the name but me.

EXCEPT when I came to buy the registration M1 KKY - it was auctioned for £2500, but then, it didn't have the T in it to make it unique. M1 KYT was available, but it just wasn't the same!

A black marker pen would fix that...

because my name is Derrick!!!!!!!!

and who doesn't love the David Jason charactor??

In answer to the question "what's in a name", in the case of my online poker handle tigmong, the answer is, to put it mildly, a lot of nonsense. Be warned if you read on, 2 minutes of your life may be wasted and I cannot give them back.

When we were kids my brothers James, Edward and I gave each other rapper names. Edward became Puff Deady, James was Snoop Doggy Jog and I was the Notorious T.I.G. At this point I would like to re-itterate that we were at this time KIDS.

The rappy part was dropped over time, Puff Deady became Dead, My name became simply Tig. Jog was used for a time to refer to James but it eventually evolved to Jig.

Tig can be pronounced how it sounds, but occasionaly it is spoken as 'teague'.
The latter was sometimes substituted as a sylabble in various different words to describe my various personas.

eg., when playing sports I was competiteague

when consoling someone is was being sympatheteague

when courting ladies I was romanteague

and after lots of that I became fateagued etc etc.


When I worked in an Irish bar I became fond of many of the Emerald Isle's traditional songs.
Molly Malone was one of my favourites. Not quite sure why, perhaps Guinness was involved in quantity, but I became prone to paraphrasing it...

He was a tigmonger
And sure twas no wonder
As so were his father and mother before

This makes little sense, as both my parents insist that they are not, nor have they ever been tigmongers. Nevertheless I began the habit of entering tigmonger on computer games high score boards. One of them at some point limited me to using 7 letters so I just dropped the er and tigmong became the norm.

Used the tigmonger rather than the tigmong on msn as some mad buddhist fae Tibet already nicked tigmong. Something to do with his belief that his soul was forged by the coming together of a tiger and a monkey, or so a friend told me after they chatted to him for hours thinking it was me. I should have just said that my reason, much less long winded.

As for thetank's origins. My name is Thomas and you'll see from above my siblings also share names with characters from the childrens books 'Thomas the Tank Engine'. My mother insists this was accidental but I believe it was her way of extracting a little revenge for putting her through the rigours of childbirth. I've recently thought thetank would be a far cooler poker nickname than tigmong. That and I'll no longer have to flog cockles and mussels a-live-a-live-oh.

where do i start

lets just say my nickname comes from an embarrasing moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nuff said

You can't say that and then not digress further.

ps. keep it clean.

lets just say - pub =nightclub = girl = home

Being interuupted by parents mid 69

I was 17 at the time - been my nickname ever since

June 1969????

My name was WSOPin05 because I told Dave Colclough in January of 2005 that I would win a bracelet in 2005. I have now changed it to WSOPin06 because I fully expect to go back to the WSOP and win another bracelet! See you there :)up

The strange thing is, I fully expect him to do it too  :respect:

Bit late ..but Welcome Scotsangel   :hello:.....I was wondering who Ironside meant last night Re: TheBlonde Bash..Sorry.. but better late than never..

Back in the summer of '69, me and this girl from school

"Those were the best years of my life"

"OH YEAH"

Ah, been there many a time.

No... hold on...

pub = nightclub = home

sry - didn't see the 'girl' bit.

You've had a rib removed just like prince, snoopy?

Beagles can reach without surgery

Got rid of the whole cage, m8.  8)

Hi All,

Im still a complete newbie to this site although i have been lurking for ages.  Gonna try and post more but I have this annoying task to perform during the day called work which seems to limit my ability to post.

Anyhow, my name comes from a holiday in Tenerife a few years back......had a little rendezvous with a young lady on the beach.  Beach = sand = desert, and the rat bit....well burrowing, rat up a drainpipe, etc, etc.

Ok my name is easy,

North == Where I Live
Angel == My name

and on a good day, i do look like the Angel of the North  :D

(http://www.frostburg.edu/admin/cie/images/Angel%20of%20the%20North,%20UK.jpg)

Ang x x

Rusty and oversized?

Gulp!

Got it in one TE

No need to gulp Robert, we can't all be size 10 coathangers  :D

Ang x x

Well said that woman :) I like to think of it as money saved on central heating.

I decided to change my name on TK's advice!


Comments please???







(This ain't gonna make any sense when I change it again  lol  ;tracet; )

he bit what exactly?

When I started playing online poker, other players would tell me I was sh*te because, not having a clue, I would river miracle str8's, flushes, lo trips, split pots, ect ect.... so I decided to rename myself.

Ps.  My play has improved, but I'm still sheight.

Poppet7

I choose this name because my Dad used to call me it when I was a little girl. He no longer has contact with me but I like it anyway. The 7 is because it's my lucky number...I LOVE 7!

nice name though for a nickname
shame about your dad

I thought it was because there were 7 of you.  :dontask:

or she likes those boxes of choccy covered raisins and peanuts and mints.

So there 1238 more like this one? ----->  ;bigglesdog;   Good grief!

I don't think the world would cope with 7 Poppets! and 1238 Snoopys... I'm scared at the thought ;)

1 snoopy scares me 1238 more would make me want to emigrate to a deserted island somewhere miles from anywhere could be worse there could be 2 tikays

Yeah but at least 1239 snoopy still only weigh the same as one average sized poker player.

snoopy x 2 and a bit = 1 x RHM

Guess I should jump on this bandwagon whilst there is still room.

Solver - becuase my name is Stuart Olver.

Not to clever really but a lot of people online seem to think I'm claiming to be some sort of problem solver and I can't count the amount of times somebody has typed "solve this" before moving all-in.  :D

Stu

i named my self after a beer LYNX5.0%  came home pissed joined poker site could not think of name so what was sitting next to me beer so lynx5.0 was born.


no and i don't have the lynx affect

Isnt lynx that 20p a can stuff? 


think i used to drink it down the park when i was a wee nipper.

right on the botton jim 8 cans for £5.50 best value anywhere

Same here. My name is Sidney Noopy

I am Timothy Ightend

 :D


next............!

I'm Robert Edward Donald David Oscar Green

My name was given to me on my first ever night i played poker, at my local casino. After 20 minutes or so i was caked up in chips, when some man asked me my name, i said" Ruth " he replied " Ruthless more like". Ever since then i have only been known as that at the casino.

Skipper being the surname friends call me Skippy or Skip and now im not Australian you really think id be over here lol

ok since ive changed my name, here goes:

Scottish since im scottish, and Dave since my first name is Dave

when you add them together you get....Scottish Dave!

I've posted this before but it deserves to be in this thread really!

The most interesting nickname I have come across was an American gent from Alabama named Randy Erdhart.
We were in the middle of a poker game whilst on an oil job in Africa and his friends repeatedly referred to him as D.F.  Knowing the Americans habit of calling guys by there initials and knowing that this guys initials were not D.F. I asked what it stood for. There was a bit of sniggering and then a quick change of subject and the matter was dropped.
A couple of weeks later in the bar, I got into conversation with Randy, who was well on. It turns out that Randy had graduated with top marks from Alabama State in civil engineering, his marks to this day having never been bettered.
He was also a collegiate middle distance champion winning the Gold and silver medals.
After leaving college he joined the U.S. army’s engineering corp. serving with great distinction and winning three awards for bravery, two of which were when under fire.
After listening and being greatly impressed I brought up the subject of D.F. again. His reply
“I’ve got one of the greatest minds in the Southern United States, no one ever mentions it!
I was such a good athlete that my coach believed if I hadn’t joined the forces I could have been an Olympic medal, no one ever mentions it!
Three goddamned medals for bravery I have, one of them a purple heart! Does anyone ever mention, Oh no!
Yet I ride one lousy little daschund when I’m 16 and I’m known as Dog F**ker for the rest of my life.”

My original online name was Silobass.  I played bass in a  band a few years ago and our first cd was called The Silo E.P. 

Got shortened over time to Silo and I stuck Graham on the end recently because people calling you Silo in Real Life (TM) is very embarrasing.  Graham is (perhaps obviously) my Real Name.

Thats why when you choose your own poker nickname its advisable to choose one that wouldn't embarass you if it were shouted out loud from the other side of a busy department store!!  :D

And when your rich and famous try and imagine what it would be like to have your nickname shouted constantly by hourdes of screaming groupies - if it sounds silly it may be worth changing it ;)

Trouble is I don't know what to change it to - I need a good poker name.  I'll get one eventually.

I have been in a crowded Pizza Hut with someone shouting across a family of about 30 kids "Silo - what are you having?"

Very embarrasing.  I'm hoping in time people will drop the Silo and just call me Graham, then I'll remove the Silo and introduce a poker name :D

Long process but I'll get there.

What's so embarrassing about 'Silo'?

its not even something that could be a realistic nickname, its a proper word not associated with people but more of an online type thing (or storage) its just a crappy name if you are ever likely to meet the people you use the name with :)

IMHO of course!

There's nothing wrong with 'Silo', it's a good nickname.

It reminds of a teacher I had once; Miss Isle.

So you had her, but didn't marry her.

Another user, men make me sick.

And what ever can you say after that ???  rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao rotflmfao

I once met an American called Randy Thrasher...

and I played rugby against a Richard Head.

I'm not making these up!

I like the name Silo. Really, there's nothing wrong with it.

Plus, everyone knows you as Silo now so forget about changing it.

I knew a Richard Head too.

Guess what his nickname was?


Best one I ever came across was when I we were playing basketball aginats another school and the opposing team sheet came round with the name 'Duane Pipe' heading the list.  :D

I was playing on FTP the other day against a player called RichardCranium, I did have a little giggle to myself  :D

Stu

i was playing online once with a guy named Uda-fkaryu  .. i said nice name mate, he replied "Thanks, i will tell my mum and dad" :D :D

I once had to meet a Japanese gentleman for business. The name of his compnay on his business card?

Eifuku.

I just found this thread, and i am so late in doing this but here goes.

My dad idolised paul newman and he wanted me to be named Newman McAllister ( I know ) However My grandfather did manage to talk some sense in to him, When I was born he said i had the same colour of eyes of Paul Newman, so his nickname for me was Newmanseye.

Kinda soppy but thats where it comes from.

Tell them about you're other name... TJ? or PJ?

And what about BMBB?

Belt up you, those names have no affilliation with me, only jelous people with their name calling.

 :kiv: :kiv: :kiv: ;tracet;

Then whats your forum avatar all abooooot!!!  :-*

I dont know what you mean?????

OI!! Where has TJ from Recess go, the one that you look like, that used to be your avatar

I have no Idea what you are talking about.

mikky must be seeing things

(http://us.ent4.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/walt_disney/recess__school_s_out/recesstj.jpg)

William 'Newmanseye'

Thats my name!!

Last year I went back to Bermuda & met up with my 'twin' Dimitri Bradley (we were born the same day & our mums were in beds next to each other in hospital.

Dimitri's Mum & Dad were very much into Black Power & quite radical, so they named him after the famous Black Russian leader... my Dad nearly died laughing when they told him & they wouldn't believe him that the Black Russians were a political party, not coloured. I think my Dad was the only white guy who could have got away with telling them that.

thats not funny!!!  ;technophobe; ;technophobe; :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard: :redcard:

It was funny when I put it on the screen at Cincins though  :D

Cant remember that !! ::) ::) 0:-)

so who was that cartoon character you had as your avatar?

And will someone tell us about those nicknames mikkyt mentioned.

The cartoon character is TJ from recess a kids cartoon on the disney channel, and apparently when i wear my cap backwards I look like him.

The other names are just Mikky trying to be funny and rename people. none of which have ever stuck except in Mikky's head.

EVERYONE calls you Billy Bass, not just me :D

No Again you get it wrong Mikky, what is said is " Billy you Bass**** , you have taken all my money again!! "  usually after I have relieved them of all chips in the cash game. That selective hearing for yours needs checking.

good effort john

thats what i learned at school today

how to copy and paste on my pc

I learned that I hate working for a living.

i learned that at 9.27am on 11th of June 2001.           27 mins after i started my first job in the wonderful world of Dhl Danzas

Is that a Tantric love shack

Its a members club Dave, You need to be nominated for membership.

want in?

Snoops suggested to me on another thread that I should come over and explain the origin of my username - Zen Taff, so here goes:

It's basically pretty self-explanatory really.

The 'Zen' bit comes from my interest in zen philosophy. The 'Taff' bit is because I'm Welsh.

I kind of got it from another British online player one rainy Sunday afternoon while playing at Paradise Poker. We found ourselves at a table full of north americans, so we chatted a bit. Then he put a bit of a bad beat on me and apologised. I said something like, "well, that's poker" and he replied "Hmm, a zen taff". I thought - "I'm having that." Perhaps in some small way I can help to reclaim the word "taff" and make it sound less derogatory for us taffs.

Actually, the more I think about it, the crapper that story gets and the more I'm going off the name. It's a good job I use a few different names at other sites.

How about Zaff?

Yeah, that's not a bad option.

Short, snappy, mysterious. I might use that sometime.

I'd stick to Zen Taff if I were you, it's funky.

Zaff sounds like a household cleaning product or something.

LOL - that's true. I hadn't thought of that.

I just wish you weren't stuck with a particular name once you sign up to a particular poker site. I can never make my mind up.

You can change your alias on blonde, Zen Taff, just by editing your profile options.

Did you know 'Scottish Dave' used to be just 'Dave'?!

What's your problem with the poor guys name Snoopy?

LOL. Are you beginning to regret suggesting that I explain my username yet Snoopy? ;D

My blonde username "Zen Taff" is fine (although my name is also Dave, so I could change it to "Welsh Dave" if it makes things easier).

I meant that I wish you could go back and change certain names you've used at poker rooms, because at some places I'm stuck with crap stuff like "dave5472". In comparison, I think I can happily live with "Zen Taff".

Well, you mentioned that you weren't a big fan of the name, so I thought I'd suggest something else.

What's wrong with Zen? You'll get called that for short anyhow.

Yeah, that's cool. Thanks for the suggestion Snoopy.  :)up

And you're quite right, everyone calls me "Zen" at Poker Stars anyway.

I'll stick with Zen Taff then - no more complaining from me.

Plus, when I get a chance to make my debut at one of the blonde Sunday tournaments, at least you and Tank will know who I am now. ;D

This is the first time I have seen these posts.

Silo is a good name mate, nothing wrong with that,

I am Sark because I was watching ALIAS when I joined Stars after starting to play. 79 comes from my birth year.

My real name is Lewis.

I think shortstack explains itself  8)

When I play tourneys esp rebuys i dont want to rebuy....I know all the chips are heading my way eventually anyway! So I just wait till rebuy's over and then start my comeback normally with 1 rebuy + add on.

Names on websites normally Billz_72 real life nickname is billy....the 72 is to act as my birth year to get a little more respect as im only 19

However my alias on sites I play on often change's, I link it to bad luck ;)

Well simply enough, when I enter a tourny im the "last one alive"...Though maybe "first one dead" would have been more appropriate.

I got a new pair of trainers when I was about 13, they were comfortable and were called Decider ( I think they were either Puma or Adidas), I thought it would be a cool nickname, but no-one else did, so it was put on the back burner until I started playing poker.

I had to choose a username/handle for pokerstars and didn't want to use the old poker names, so many of them flying about, then I remembered my trainers. Simple really.

i will now be known as Brian "the GRINDER" Wilson from now on 8)

i have 2 names on here my first is 23spades of which i was named by no other than the devilfish himself, as in the midland masters i was on a table with tikkay{my new m8}devil ali mallou lucy rokech to name but a few ,,anyway i get dealt 23 of spades ,as you do i raise devil he re-raise then i re-raise him he calls lol flop 2h 3c Kd  i check ,devil bet i flat call,turn 3d  i check he bets big {lol}i flat call river comes Aspades,i bet he raise i move in he calls in a flash .......what did he have????ok i tell you ace king lol  i took most of his stack left him on the felt scratching his head and mumbling to his self TIKKAY i think was pi55ing hiself under the table lol,any way i went onto make final table,lmao


 sofa----king explains itself really im in the sofa gme and im the king of it ofcourse ,,and it looks like so faking lol thats how i got my names .............

I got 4 wheels and I pick folk up.

are you tikay and a zimmer frame ??

I'm an epileptic cowboy

barhell came from an amalgamation of my nickname Barney and my wife Hell.
There is also brahell which came about from a typo.

So why the nickname Barney?

Barney is just a shortened version of my surname.

Barneyson?

"Smart Money" was the name of a magazine I had on my desk when I needed to come up with a forum name. It was either that or "Razzle."

go on then...............................

Quite apt that this is my first post on this site and it is one in which i reveal my pseudonym!

"Padrino" as i'm sure you will all be aware is the Italian for 'Godfather'. During my university days many years ago i had posters of scenes from Il Padrino on my wall and was a big fan of the films of the same name. Godfather sounded a little arrogant as a nick name, but Padrino seemed to stick.

It is an even more relevant name as i am the 'Padrino' to my Nephew!

Know it's bit of bump but reading this from Soviet's new thread-

Michaela's done quite well for herself! All down to blonde imp

az u can tel frm my pst cnt I nt bin 2 active bt been browsin a bit mor l8ly n der r sum kewl thrds on er

my nic came from me trying 2 mak a new poker start online. my previous alias was nanimal
I was called animal because of my weekend antics as a young person. I thought I didn't make too good a first impression meeting new ppl and being introduced by animal so I got all my m8s calling me nanimal and that worked much better. I was still wild n crazy but now I was cool too :-)

I think I decided to restart my online poker game with the nic shmeigle as I was into lotr and it seemed cool at the time. it is also my forum alias on er n gnf

in fact I started playing at broadway cardroom whilst still nanimal and when having live poker nics was the in thing and the old school staff at broadway still call me nanimal. though some also call me shmeigle and others 4kingfish which is my most recent addition and only live on stars.fr

real name is jon with a h (missing letter fits between the O n N)

haha epic.

my name here is KD, shortened form of KerouacsDog, a name I made up. It comes from my favourite author, Jack Kerouac, a 50's backpacker/poet/author in America. He had a drink problem, and died young, in his 40's. I think if he had had a dog, he would have looked after himself better. There is a magazine called KerouacsDog dedicated to Jack Kerouac, they nicked the name from me.
Every poker site I have accounts at(37 and counting) my alias is Kerouacsdog, or slimiliar to that, ie kaydawg, K-Dog etc.
