Sinds kort biedt PartyPoker ook anonieme headsup tafels aan. De meningen zijn er over verdeeld, maar leden van Team PartyPoker hebben nu hun mening hierover gegeven.

Kara Scott is van mening dat spelers zich nu goed moeten focussen op hun tegenstanders: "Playing anonymously will definitely make it more important to be very aware of your opponents’ actions and then be flexible enough to adjust quickly rather than working off of your previous notes on a player’s style," aldus Kara Scott. "This makes it even more important to make sure that you’re playing at the right stakes for your bankroll and always with money that you can afford to lose." 

Kortom: shotjes op een hogere limiet wagen omdat er een enorme vis aan tafel zit is er niet meer bij volgens de partner van highroller Brian Townsend.

Ook ziet Kara wel nadelen: gameselectie is er niet meer bij, al is dit gelijk weer een voordeel voor de sharks aan tafel: "On the other hand though, it takes away your ability to game select. Nobody should really be choosing to sit down and play Heads Up with the best players at their stakes. Because everyone is wearing the mask of anonymity, those great players will certainly be able to get more action than before."

Tyron Krost, winnaar van de Aussie Millions 2010 ziet de voordelen voor de beginners en de nieuwe spelers. "For beginners or new online players it makes it much harder for the sharks to find them and also stops them from being targeted by those players that use the online database sites. I think it will give all players the opportunity to go and try some new styles out and a few different approaches that they otherwise might not have."
