I was a noobie. To transfer acct to acct you have to do some sort of verification and become a preffered player. My wife isn't interested in doing anything to help out and I didn't (nor do now) know how to make a pvt table.
Shaz, I don't know exactly what you meant, but you can get BOTH accounts frozen by "transferring" money in a private game between two accounts by intentionally losing with one. It's cheating, although not especially harmful, and it's an easy thing for the sites to pick up on. I think their big concern is criminal "transfers" of funds between poker accounts, and they're probably focused on the big $$ accounts. But their software will pick it up even if it's $60.

Also, I believe y'all are underestimating the sophistication of their tracking methods and capabilities. The problem for them is the sheer number of colluders. With 10 ppl on a site, there are 10! = 3.6 million ways to form a 2-way cheating partnership. Imagine the possible cheating arrangements with thousands of players playing millions of hands in a single day - no way to detect cheating with random search algorithms. But as soon as they have any reason to be suspicious, they can quickly track/identify collusion.
