    Do you get any benefit for showing your "iron man chip" at Full Tilt?

    Or is it just essentially an achievement badge, which seems like it would be -ev to display, since it gives people information about you (that you're probably a regular) that they might not otherwise have ?

    If there isn't some reward or extra entitlement to showing it, it seems like a mistake to show it, no?

    Means nothing to me except that you're a degen. I've seen plenty of bad players proudly displaying their badges

    Its the same thing as showing your level on stars (bronze, silver, gold etc). It does reveal information but I think that info can be deceptive.

    If you are a good player and have a bronze level people might think you are a fish and you may be able to use that as an advantage.

    If you have acheieved a high level, supernova or whatever, you are basically telling people you play a shitload. That may result in people players weak towards you as they figure you are likely a decent to good player and they dont want to go to battle with you unless they got the nutz.

    imo it's -ev at the lower limits. i think its best to not differentiate yourself from the absolute idiots at the lower limits. mid and higher stakes id say its pretty nuetral. probably just coincidence but it feels like im getting more action from the regs at cash tables since i took it off.
