Empire Chop

[icetonez]

We're down to two in a $25 tourney. Can we chop on Empire?

Congrats on the win. Party skins (Empire, PokerNow, etc.) don't offer any support staff to mediate any deals between final table players. You would have to take the person's word and do a player-to-player transfer via the site software or Neteller/FirePay/etc. I wouldn't really consider it unless I had the person's full name, address, email address, and had talked to on the phone. Even then, there's no guarantee that someone won't screw you over. And since it's online poker and the site does not offer to facilitate any deals, you would have very little in terms of legal recourse against someone who didn't back their end of the deal.

PokerStars will facilitate deal making. I'm not sure about other sites.

But if you're on a Party skin like Empire, I would just play it out. Besides, it's good poker experience and nothing beats the feeling of finishing 1st in a MTT!
