Multi Currency Strategies (Euro vs USD)

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?

this is a pretty good topic ... expecially for the transactions wich requires more than one day to be credited.. for example.. i m from Italy i make visa deposit.. i have immediately the money on my account meantime the poker room has to wait 4 days before they gets the money effectively credited in their accounts... and they get credited with the value of the currency of the last day and not of the day i was depositing ... with this strong euro what we have would be pretty good for poker rooms which have prevalent usd depositors the euro money to be lost pretty fast..... yes euro tables are good for eu players because you have much the feeling of the real value of the money meantime you are playing.. dont know if you got what i mean... and same for you.. i would not play at euro tables if i would be you...
