I do not show my supernova status on pokerstars....

My initial thought was that it was -EV to show the status...

HOWEVER, I watch other SNs display their statuses and get paid off on the river like NO OTHER!!!!!

I also play 20/40 live... i have several friends (also myself) that play very well and we all play the same game... and the other players KNOW the skill level their are competing with and still pay off the river....

So do YOU think (whether your SN or not) it is + or -EV to show SN+ status on pokerstars?

I had so many fish make remarks about me being a super nova it wasn't funny and none of them tied being a sn to being good they were always making comments like "you live online you must be a loser" "how much money did sn cost you" "you think youre big stuff because your a sn" and yes I think I got action from those guys i might not have other wise.

interesting... i've always hid mine considering showing it to be -EV but you're making me have second thoughts. I'm not sure.

I personally avoid sitting at tables where I can see there are Supernova players, figuring they must be better than average.

So would that mean it is +EV to show it because other good players/SNs will avoid sitting with you or it is -EV to shove it because fish will avoid sitting with you?
