PokerStars<\/a> is considering moving away from fixed aliases in the next few months, allowing players to start playing anonymously at some tables in line with the site\u2019s goal of protecting recreational players and the entire poker ecosystem in general. <\/p>\n While players may be allowed to play without using aliases at certain tables, they will be shown in the hand histories after the game is played. <\/p>\n This works in contrast with what is currently adopted in other online poker sites where unknown players play against each other, with their poker history disabled. <\/p>\n PokerStars explained that the new twist to hand histories will protect the integrity of the game by eliminating potential collusion, and getting rid of bot accounts that normally carry out illicit activities in the guise of anonymity. <\/p>\n Severin Rasset<\/strong>, PokerStars\u2019 Managing Director and Commercial Officer for Poker said hand histories will be displayed 24 hours after the hand has been played to ensure player security. The new feature will also be great news for those using poker tracking software such as Holdem Manager 2<\/em> and Poker Tracker 4<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n
