[freeringo]

Ringo got busted for pot in London years ago and I have had the name freeringo for 9 years now.

I changed it a few times to see what would happen on the poker table and found that my reputation got players to fold more often to my raises.

[twenty47]

When I first started playing poker many many moons ago I couldn't think of any name but my own. this really sucked and one day a buddy of mine asked if i play poker 24/7? because back then I was playing poker at bet 365 and would set the alarm for 3:30 am to wake up and register for the 4:00am $1000 freeroll they had daily. After that I used the name 24/7Poker at many sites and when some sites wouldn't allow a username to begin with a number i just changed it to Twenty47 and i use that name everywhere now.... well except where it's already taken and then i use something like gottheflop or got......
