Ladbrokes Poker Launches Anonymous Tables
Ladbrokes Poker has recently unveiled a new type of tables: the Anonymous tables. As the name suggests, your identity will be hidden when playing there. Read more to find out how it works.
Since last week, players sitting down at the Ladbrokes Poker tables have a new concept available to them: play completely anonymous.
The new "Anonymous tables" offer you the chance to basically hide yourself from all the other players. This way, your opponents will not be able to see your nickname, avatar or get any information on your play style via tracking software.
These special tables can be found in the Ladbrokes Poker tables with an "A" icon next to them. If you would like to try out the Anonymous tables, you just need a Ladbrokes Poker account. Don't have one yet? Click below to create one and we'll also give you a first deposit bonus of €735:

I've said for a long time that the HU tables needs to be anonymous at least. Otherwise everyone just sits out waiting for their opponent, then fires up pokertableratings before deciding whether to play or not.#3

next step, is to have anonymous cards. you play without seeing your cards, just like the Jack Links beef jerky wild card hands#4

Great Idea for HU players, I hope that other sites follow after, even if I don't think so but I will cross my fingers for good luck.#8

It's def good for HU, but they risk to lose a lot of traffic on FR & SH tables because multitablers will leave as soon as more fish start to play only those new tables..#10

opal99: If winning players leave a network, that's actually a GOOD thing for the network. :-)winning players are the only people who withdraw so if anonymous tables means no multitabling nits who need stats to play, then this is a great thing imo.

You're right, but it's different to not use stats and to not see the name of player. There're rooms with no hand histories, thus no HUD but playing blind only means ABC poker. Much less fun for - at least for me
