jonny2192 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Is it just me or do certain avatars always seem to be a certain player type? You can exchange UO tickets again all is unicorns and rainbows in Unibet land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamiesOld Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 When I used to play pro, I would use as much information I could to help inform my decisions; and one of those things was avatar choice/image choice. Obviously I wouldn't let it by the sole piece of information, or even a particularly important piece, but it is definitely something to consider (like location). I remember absolutely hating it if a guy with a picture of him holding his/her baby, or a picture of his/her pet would bet the river. Baby/pet pictures NEVER bluff the river! In terms of our software, and my observations from running a few streams, I would say that the combination of alias name and avatar definitely relates to the eprsonality of the player; although I'm not sure if I would go so far to suggest it has a significant impact on how they play.

Mynona Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I believe it can be related to a certain type of players but mainly if you keep the same a while.When you can change each day, the type of players is less related to the avatars i believe because its part of blurring the identity of the player :) (if that makes sense). I personnally change a lot of time, and i've tried a lot of different avatars even though i play the same way most of the time.For the players that keep their avatar a long while, it does influence my perception of the type of players if s1 else has the same avatar... but it doesnt mean that player plays the same !:) its only my initial "perception" that changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jami-Unibet Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I feel like there is some sort of connection in the choice of username/avatar and playstyle. I've noticed that for example people who has an avatar with a matching "non-typical" nickname are usually more straight forward players. Don't know if it's the fact that they had put some thought in to the nickname when choosing an avatar and opt to do so in game too? I might also overthink it, that's why I don't really put weight on it. :d :smileyvery-happy:The choice of avatar IMO should never affect your game. Unless it's a duck vs. DaVitsche, then it's psychological warfare. Satisfied with the community? | Read our guidelines? | Meet the team | Seen our latest blog posts?

MoreTBC Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 My alias name will relate to what the avatar looks like and I play like a numpty regardless of the avatar so I think there is no relation :) Have you read my blog HERE...

JillianP Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Haha, me too! I tried giving myself one of the punky avatars and a fierce name to improve my game, but I still played like a wuss :smileylol: Just call me Mrs Kings :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Based on the way i personally choose my avatars the answer would be no. Sometimes what you see is what you get, but I would never take for granted that the person behind that sweet little flight attendant avatar is as nice as they appear to be - or that the "evil joker" isn't in fact a very careful player despite the aggressive appearance. If it's a poker room where you can upload your own pics you might be able to discern a few things from your opponents choice of avatar, but I certainly wouldn't rely on it when playing.

ArtyMcFly Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Quick answer: Yes. Very much so, but these tells are becoming less usable as more and more avatars are added to the client.I could spend 45 minutes with Photoshop (or GIMP, because I'm a cheapskate) making the ultimate "Unibet Avatar Tells" guide, but I think the information is too valuable. I don't really want people to start leveling me by using one of the "Spewfish" avatars if they are actually nits.That said, in my experience, I think the most reliable avatar tells are: Clowns play like clowns. Blondes play like blondes. Robots play like robots. GTO penguins play like GTO penguins. Except when they don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtyMcFly Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Mostly, the penguin just splashes around, but frequently gets cold-decked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
