Bodog Beat

With all the online poker databases out there these days, opponents can look up your username and find out what type of player you are. (Bodog Beat Image)

They can get information about your profit margins and which style of play you employ. Many think that it’s a good idea to change your username so opponents can’t gain this edge on you.

I don’t think this information gives anyone a big edge. Finding out what style of player someone is only takes a couple of hands to discover, and knowing someone’s profit margins doesn’t help you in the game you’re playing.

Many players let their significant other or friends play for smaller stakes on their accounts, so most of those stats are not completely accurate anyway. If you know what info is out there, you can use this to your advantage. Just play to the contrary of what the databases say about you. Get your online poker action with Bodog today!
