GTA Poker
Now that I'm spending a bit of time playing cash online...wondering if this is the best way to manage withdrawls to avoid the insane 2.5% markup from Stars (from 2p2):
Go to your Pokerstars Cashier and open a CAD account. Convert your USD in your Cashier to CAD and then withdraw from the CAD account and you should not have to pay any fees.
I request the e-cheque option, which comes in CAD to my BMO bank account and has zero fees.
Is good? Is this the same for deposits? Do I have to make CDN my default currency?

This is exactly what I did on party. Converted my existing USD balance into CAD, now bank transfer withdrawals are done without any fees charged for the conversion.

Sure is!
You can also see how much you will get, it will be XE.COM rate, dont think you will get better than that anywhere :)
