Multi-multi-tabling?

[Cadence Lauren]

A hypothetical question (at least for now):

Say I wanted to exceed the 4-table-at-a-time limit that PartyPoker imposes. I sign up for an account at EmpirePoker and run additional tables from EP at the same time as I run 4 at PP. I already know that the two programs will run together.

Assuming:
I don't sit at the same table in both programs at the same time (which would create collusion),
and
I can handle the monitor space and memory load,
my questions are:

Can you add 4 more tables this way? I'm assuming the software doesn't track your IP and still limit you to 4 in the two programs combined. Does anyone have actual experience doing this, and know if it would cause problems with the folks who run the site (fears of collusion, even though I would keep my PP tables separate from my EP tables)?

Thanks in advance for any knowledge. I am still going to contact PartyPoker's customer service before I try it (and I won't try it for another few weeks at least), and I will post their response to this thread as well.

About half the forum does this. No need to contact party. You just can't sit at the same table with yourself as the software prevents it.

I am only an egg.

Many thanks for the knowledge. (I knew I had come to the right place.) I will now spontaneously combust.

What he said.
Many many players do this.

If you try to sit at a table where you are already seated you'll get a little pop-up saying that 'we have detected that someone from your ISP or other account is already seated at this table' or something like that.


I'm only a 4-6 table kind of guy these days (and am currently just playing 2 tables because I've got a cold and my head weighs about 57 lbs.)....but there are quite a few players on here who play 6-8 tables at a time on party and a skin.

not sure how many play more than 9+ tables (by adding another skin on top of that) but it certainly has been done.

awe, don't do that.
