This post might be something those of you non US players have more experience with and thoughts about.

Stars opened up Euro tables for testing recently.  I thought it would be nice play in this currency as it offers other artificial blind levels.  For example.  The €10 tables are more like $13-16US over the last few months.  This allows for finer gradations between levels.  Also I noticed as I was playing, the general player base in these beta tables was VERY unpredictable.  There seemed to be more bad players at least for a while, along with a greater appearance of SN and even SNE players at the tiny stakes I play.  This made the games more interesting and sometimes profitable seemingly.

Then last week I decided to convert 90% of my EU account back to USD.

Now I understand Stars doesn't want to turn its players into currency traders, and I mean to honor them in that request.  But they also cannot expect me to leave my money in a place I feel  it may be temporarily vulnerable.

I am not so savvy about the Forex type stuff, but it seems to be the USD is headed up a little in world markets and the EU might be in a little trouble thanks to Greece etc.  Add those two things together and I thought I might rather have my bankroll be in USD again.  At least for now.

Obviously I can't tell the future, and the EU might continue to climb against the USD for a while.

But I was curious ... what others think about multi-currency accounts, and the implications and resulting strategies they might produce, both at the table, and even just in what currency to be playing in.

Does it matter to you?
