That depends on how well you are in shielding your different personae from each other.

You will grow hair on your palms if you play with yourself.

Why don't you try an experiment in that regard, say 3 minute games, switch sides. Do it say ten times and see what the results are.

Just kidding. You could do this, but with all the opportunities to play against others via the internet, why would you want to? To answer your question, I'd say a white victory since you already know your own weakness's as black

If you approach playing each turn with a sincere desire to win in the current position for both black and white, it could go both ways. It may even be more interesting, since you know what your strategy is.

Playing against yourself is an attempt to outdo yourself. You may be able to break your current limits if you take that approach.
