My screen name has nothing to do with my poker style. I use Lytspeed for everything from my posting here to my domain name, so I don't suspect that it gives away anything about my playing style.

In fact, most people think that it means something completely different from what it meant when I originally received the nickname; originally, it was an insult, but I turned it around and made it my own.

That said, I think nicknames can say something about a person's playing style, but they can also be misleading. For instance, bigpimpinNDA's nickname certainly fits with his style; over the top and pushy. But a name like Poker_Newbie (fictional, as far as I know) might be intentionally misleading.
