Username lookup by pokersite

[Kanetuck]

So, I recently started playing on pokerstars with play money after reading about the poker league. Which, it was a good thing I did since I had forgotten I had an old account there. Anyway, I was in a 3 seat sitngo and someone typed out my real first name. I asked him about it, but I knocked him out of the session before getting an answer. Is there a way to look that info up from this site? It surprised me that someone would have my first name.

For poker league you need to be able to play on real money. For username - right click on any player, find, then type username you need.

Not sure what cheeeer is talking about

But your real name is not visible to anyone, unless you choose to show it when you are in a PokerStars Homegame group.

Is it possible you posted your name online with your PokerStars ID somewhere?

If your first name is Kane or tuck, maybe someone did a google search on your PS ID and they got to your CardsChat profile.

Thank you, Moots. From what I can tell, it appears to me that even looking up my cardschat profile does not display my name. However, I did look up my Google account and change my info there. I think I had the pokerstars connected with Google play.

Not sure what poker league he talked about. Also didn't know the conversation is about HomeGames.

I could have been more specific cheeeer. I was referring to the cardschat poker league on pokerstars. Which was really just a lead in to the actual question.
