Personally, I am looking forward to this Project because many other sites have had negative connotations and attributes associated with them.
More of a technical question and probably best suited for an Engineer/developer, but what is your current Technology stack. Are you going to be implementing a Tech stack like Electron with Nodejs at the forefront or are you going to be doing a Java based system.
As for the Poker side, I am really excited for Mixed games, which you have alluded to adding before in other posts. As of right now, there are not many sites that have Mixed games at all and would love to see some online Implementations of Razz, Badugi and other games.
To comment on the Design solution for deflecting huds, I feel that it is a simple and elegant solution to a complex problem. However, I feel that this also might restrict the aspect of a community or camaraderie at the table. While 'talking' or having a social setting is much more apparent and promoted in a live table, I feel that you could still generate that feeling for amateur players within your system. Having a two-layer user base might be the way to go.
Keeping your solution of having a randomized name when entering the table might be good idea. But, outside of that, if you implement a Chat or a Forum, I believe it might be a good idea to have a persistent user Id for communication. You already have a form of this with the forums on your site, and if that is your stop gap for community building within the app then that seems to be satisfactory.
Regardless, However you choose, I hope you create a product that lives up to your vision. I know that I will come running once you have built it ;)!
