(LC) Avatars that tell you someone sucks...

[zachaser]

What pictures are usually a good sign the player is a dumbass?
My top 3:

1.Pictures of your kids- Who puts their kids on an avatar? No one gives a flying fuck about your family, at least put something on their remotely interesting.

2.Pictures of your pets- Along the same line as number 1. Usually a sign you suck at poker.

3.Any picture of a shark- Usually signifies your suckiness, as no real shark would want to draw attention to their talents.

What pictures do you find reveal shittiness in the poker world?

Anything from a hunting/fishing trip.

1. is so true. I've yet to see someone even remotely decent who has a picture of their baby/kid as an avatar. Also any avatar with a pic of their gf/hot chick tends to suck

[GudSpeler]

Anybody with an Intelli Poker avatar.

Can someone tell me what Intelli Poker is? I've always wondered why there were so many of them and why they were all so bad.

From what i understand, some sort of German poker training website. Apparently there is a manual that "teaches" them how to play!

[BennyLaRue]

I still don't understand the eyeball avatars.

[Deuce Blue]

I play on Sportsbook so there are no pictures. But I begin to drool whenever someone is at my table with a name like Parlay King or CelticsRule. Betting junkies that want to try poker are very +EV.

Intelli Poker players earn 4 FPP’s for just using the avatar while they play and PokerStars will double their FPP amount when the members convert them.

WTF? Does that mean they get 2x fpps?

[GudSpeler]

Yep, Intelli Poker is sponsored by PS, and they get extra FPPs. From what I've heard, you get FPPs every time you post in their forum, and every day you have the Intelli Poker avatar.

It's an attempt to get a large share of the German market.

[Tiresman]

I always laugh when I see this one.

[GudSpeler]

I've also seen one that says "Easy Money" that resembles the IntelliPoker avatar.

[FlyingSaucy]

Intellipoker is the only reliable avatar. babies and dogs are not reliable.
How I table select: sort by highest % going to flop, join waitlist if needed, if no intellipoker, wait for the next table.

[Fnord]

Intellipoker is the only reliable avatar.

Why can't people just STFU. I hate money and play too shitty to beat the rake, but that's ok because I'll berate people who play worse for self-gratification.

I don't know what's dumber, that or people who play small/midstakes with a cardrunners/deucescracked/etc. logo.

[mikeneron]

Anyone with a donkey as their picture is usually at least a decent player. Ran into a couple last night

[GudSpeler]

Yeah, I find those with a donkey or a fish avatar are often good.

[BennyLaRue]

I find that anyone who uses a donkey or fish in an avatar and especially a player who throws around the term donkey or fish (OR DONKEY FISH) in chat is generally either just past the beginner stage or is a break even player on a hot streak. Easy to get them to overthink, imo.

Good players are like ninja. You barely even know they're there until you look up and realize your money is gone.

this is soo true
many people either think with their asses a large percentage of the time or are simply general idiots/

JohnnyBax has a picture of his kid now...soo there goes that

lol I used to use a fish avatar on FT simply coz it was the original one that was selected when I registered and I liked it (the sad fish is hilarious). Most of the time I had a ROI of >25% at the $5 and $10 tables ... so there goes that idea

Seriously I finally came across a decent intelli-poker player! Moreover he appeared to understand the basics of ICM. Imagine my shock!

[drmcboy]

you are just past the beginner stage and based on your posts often way overthink

[Fnord]

Anyone who ever typed "ICM" into a chat box can die in a fire.

Nice!

I wondered how long it would take someone to fall into my trap. MUWAHAHHA.

[jdubs]

My favorite is the pic of Aces or some shit like that. That is definitely a sucky player.

Hey now, if you shoot a buck like I did you almost have to have it as your avatar. By the way is there anyway I can change my avatar on Stars? It won;t let me n that picture is of me when I was like 16, lol. I'm 21 now.

[givememyleg]

[Random_Hero]

I have a shark... lol... I can't change it now though, as i'd like to lol... i never knew you can only change your avatar 3 times on PS. But your right, i do suck lol

[yuenjai]

a pineapple. =P

[Kijjo]

I love the guy tipping back his beer bottle or the weed symbol. Usually drinkers and smokers like to enjoy themselves while playing and to them I say... have another one buddy, and pass the chips!!!

I suck powerfully but I don't see any correlation between that and having a picture of my boy as my avatar.

[kevster]

Really? Fuck. I'd better make the last one a good one.
