I think last week was when talk in other forum about Cake option to change your nickname 1 time every 7 days. Some people don´t like it, some do.
General idea of change of nick is that tracking sites will be useless, meaning players need to get back to skill and play from how you see the player in a specific game and not getting all info in a silver tray with out do anything like in tracking sites/Tracking software.
And it looks is not that far away from happening soon.
Just yesterday read in pokerscout that Party Poker make a upgrade this month and now aside of rabbit/show one or 2 cards (like merge) also implement the "anonimous tables".
"Anonymous tables offer players the chance to play without a moniker or avatar, which prevents any statistics or previous history from being available to an opponent. Online players who utilize poker software tools like PokerTracker and Holdem Manager won’t have access to details about opponents, which will level the playing field for non-software users.
The concept goes against traditional game play in that players won’t ever know who they’re competing against – something you’ll never find in a brick-and-mortar casino. However, in a time when many players have become multi-tabling robots with every statistic at their disposal, the anonymous tables are a refreshing change to today’s online game."
Then today open my email and get another news from 32RED (microgaming)
Dear ....
We have introduced a revolutionary new concept to our poker lobby - Anonymous Tables! Whether you're a fish or a shark, play selected tables with the advantage that other players don't know your level of skill.
Anonymous Tables are brand new to the 32red lobby and can be identified by the icon
next to the table name. They are found under the Cash Tables tab and offer complete anonymity by providing each player with a temporary alias (e.g. Player 3) as well as a random avatar. Ordinary features such as player profiles, locations, buddies and notes are unavailable at these tables and related hand information contained on your playcheck will display anonymous aliases.
What are the benefits of playing anonymously?
Anonymous tables provide you with a fresh new playing field, where players are unable to track your game-play through fancy software or keep notes on how you play. It is exactly as poker was meant to be: cards, chips, money, skill and instinct – nothing more.

Good or Bad?
You will like to play in those tables or will avoid them.
