Pseudonyms incur a substantial publication penalty. They're harder to market in this day and age. If you're publishing in a genre where pseudonyms are typical (erotica, etc) your market potential is already curtailed and it's less of a big deal. but if you'r'e going up in front of a real publisher, a pseudonym is a great way to ensure 50 cents on the dollar or less.
