Create a new thread in the online poker section with a poll and organize it. Maybe I'm part of the minority who think anonymous tables is beneficial to the game because it allows more recreational players to try out poker. They would be less afraid to bluff or spew chips because they are anonymous. Not exactly sure why that is.... but something about being anonymous, players feel they can be more reckless without being scolded.
And if you think about it, 90% of the time when you go play at a casino, you are at an anonymous table. You won't know the style of all the players at the table until a couple hands in. Even if there's a TV POKER PRO at the table who you seen his style on TV, it's not like you will have his whole HUD stats for the last 100,000 hands.
You can only base your reads off what you gather from the limited time you play with that person for couple hundred hands. Just like an anonymous table on Bovada.
So the question is... how does having a username help the game of online poker? I would just assume it would help regs the most, because they can establish a HUD database of players they play with. Recreational players are more often not utilizing any HUD.
As for collusion, sure it's more detectable with usernames... but how many of you guys are keeping track of how often you see two usernames constantly sitting next each other? And if there were REALLY into colluding, they could just create a bunch of dummy usernames.

All people have done is tell you that results of the poll will be meaningless since Bodog has no interest in pivoting away from their current business model.
