Need some help choosing poker nicknames...

scratch · 9 Apr 2006 at 19:48

Hey people,

The missus and I play in a poker league round a mates house every weekend and thought it was about time we got ourselves some proper poker nicknames. The names ideally need to be both fish (don't ask!) and poker related, and clearly we'd like them to be as funny as possible! So far we've come up with:

Check Rays (already taken by a mate)
AngelFish (for the gf..a play on DevilFish)
All-Fin (my fav so far)
The Codfather (not poker related)

As you can see we're struggling big style and were hoping that we could draw on the collective OCUK brain for some inspiration! We'd appreciate some suggestions..let us know what you can come up with.

TIA

Fingers Knuckles One Punch Malone

Edit: What's wrong with Scratch? That's a pretty cool nickname tbh.

Obviously you aren't a red dwarf fan

if you are going to play seriously then pick something obscure such as g53fgd so that folks won't remember you or your playing style

I'll get off then

just read the title and hit the "post reply" button

then again maybe my system will add an air of mystery while round his mates house , either that ot they will think he's a knob

I read that when playing online poker it's an advantage to pick a nickname that sounds like it's a girl - angelchick or cupcake or something - so that guys will try to intimidate you into folding, and in doing so offer up bigger pots. Is that true?
