Bodog anonymous table poll & discussion - Page 7 - Internet Poker

"That’s one of the key findings from a study conducted by Microgaming‘s Head of Poker, Alex Scott. An analysis of 175 million hands played on the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) that looked at only games where both anonymous and standard tables were available found that winning players actually won more at the anonymous tables, and that losing players went broke faster while playing in these games."

How does a poll fail? A poll is to see where people want things to go. U can't succeed. Al I wanted to do was see what people wanted.

BOVADA.lv is a HORRIBLE site. It has numerous bots which is why player names are not displayed. Cashout is easy but for BOVADA.LV but the LV is not for LAS VEGAS. It is just a cover because the checks are Canadian and require large BANK fees. (foreign checks are only accepted with large fees!) So you end up with 200-300$ taken from the bank. Not to mention the software is not near the accreditation as the other online sites. AVOID BOVADA.LV

I have never played at Bovada, not even one hand, because they don't allow new signups or deposits from my state (NY).

As much as I've questioned the anonymous model, if they started taking new registrations from NY I would definitely try them out. High traffic + soft site = obviously I'd put a couple hundred down.

For the amateur poker player hobbyist who takes an interest in the theory, anonymous tables are simply not all that fun.

I may be in a small minority here but I do not play online poker for money but for entertainment. In the tiny USA online market banter between regulars is part of the appeal.

Also using a HUD challenges you to observe and document human behavior, a skill that perhaps people who are attracted to online poker, to stereotype, might have some need.

IMO: If Bovada weren't the only site that was offering fast-fold poker to Americans, keep it anonymous, else bring back screennames.

Question for the people who don't like anonymous tables. Lets just say some site was able to disable HUDs from ever being used with their poker software.

Would you rather play on an anonymous table or play HUD-less but be able to see their usernames?

I didn't like the announcement of anonymous tables, at first, but having played alot on Bovada since then I actually kinda like it... maybe even more than screen names. Im not sure.

It's failing miserably because you were so sure that more people would want Bovada not to have anonymous tables and you were wrong. You don't really want to just see what people want. You want more people to vote the side you would like to see win.

Who knows, if they see enough 2+2'ers want to keep it anonymous, then they might just bring back screen names.

Only 94 votes. How do we get more people to vote? Need a bigger sample

Probably would have had more votes and more of those for screen names if you didn't go about things the way you did in the beginning/other thread....
