Hi Guys,

This is my first post here so give me a little bit of breathing room, I found this site by searching for strategy guides that I could use to improve my texas holdem skills.

Anyhow, I've always had an account at both Empire Poker and Party poker,
and I've currently got several bonuses lined up in both accounts.. however I've got a few questions about this.

First, is it possible to clear these bonuses by playing one account against another (obviously @ another computer, from another IP)? I was looking at the Terms and Conditions for Party Poker, and it mentions nothing about having an account at both Empire Poker and Party Poker.

Any comments guys?

Why?

Read the strat guide on the main page, wait for the good hands and you will easily clear the bonus without any hassle and risk to get both accounts frozen.

If you already have accounts @ both you could clear an Empire Poker bonus and a Party Poker bonus on the same computer at the same time.

I think what he mean is that he want's to play against only himself to not risk any money (besides the rake) while getting his bonuses...

Playing at a table with other players where you are seated at two of the available seats is cheating. If Party/Empire got wind of that they would freeze your respective accounts and most likely seize all finds in those accounts.

To my knowledge, Party/Empire does not have head to head tables so playing at one of those against just yourself probably isn't even an option.

You could make a private table.

But cheating is bad, do you want to go to hell?

The play is bad enough at party that you should be able to make money off other players while clearing the bonus.

Quick answer:

no. Not possible. Somebody else is bound to sit in on your games.

Longer answer:

No. That's cheating. Don't do that. And you will be losing at the minimum $.25 every hand...AT THE MINIMUM.

Thats $.25 * 500 = $125 that you've just paid to collect $100, the max bonus paid on one of the bonuses.

Don't do that.

THe lesson? Don't do that.

If you really want to take the easy way out, you could just post and fold at a $25 NL table and end up with a little more than you started with.
