lol no pokerstars will probably take a cut on every exchange transaction they make making it non profitable for us but very profitable for them

It will be good because you can diversify and not have all your eggs in one basket sort to speak, even tho if the dollar collapses the Euro and GBP will be affected too prolly but its also good for no exchange fees if you are cashing out to another currency account, its just good any way you look at it and even if it wasnt it certainly isnt bad in any way.

there will be such a mess w/ tables in different currencies

you could probably filter it rather easily at stars

there won't be different tables in different currencies.

They will do it similar to victor chandler (ipoker). You will have your poker wallet in $ + your main wallt in € (for example). Everytime you go to a table you exchange money from the main wallet to the poker wallet. After you quit the table you will exchange the money back at the SAME rate.

Of course they want to offer euro tables, they can keep charging max 3 rake but then in euro. Makes sense for them since the USD keeps devaluating and them being much more euro focussed nowadays.

That cut is called rake. We already pay them that fee through rake (hint hint why cashing out and all other transactions are free) so I don't think they will be charging anything. They will however probably do something like allow only once currency change per day or something to prevent abuse/people using it for trading as that is obviously not the intention.

Update to the latest beta version of HEM, you may need to use the table finder for the New VPP 50bb min tables.

afaik it's something that's being planned for the future, they just accidently included the early stages of the software that works around it in their last update.

new currency tables would be HORRIBLE, it would split the players
