| Since your government doesn't seem to be able to print enough money I've decided to look for a good Euro site to play at. Any help? |

It depends what you want.
I use AP (shock horror) because the games are easy, lots of reloads and Rb available. 6max obviously.
I use PokerRoom (Mansion is the skin) because you have loads of games in euro hours plus most are super soft.
Boggog is my backup because you get rb,Bonus soft games just shame about the hands per hour ratio.
While you get 1zillion hands in on Prima or i-poker the games arent that great IMO. |

| I guess I wasn't very clear. I meant euro as in the currency (€). You can't really play in euro on those sites, or can you? |

CryptoLogic and IPN (former Boss) networks have euro tables (and $ and GBP if you like).
But trust me on this one: You don't want to play at euro tables!
* The first reason is the cap - for ex. on Crypto if you play in euro, rake is logically taken in euro end accordingly -> at $ tables cap is 3$, at euro tables cap is 3 euro, at GBP tables cap is 3GBP (which is aprox 6$ )
* Second reason has to do with (frequent or w/e) player points (PP) - for ex. most Crypto skins will offer some sort of PP reward. On Will Hill after 1000 PPs you get $100 (sort of No Deposit Bonus) then another $100 after 2000 PPs, etc. Now the catch is: if the rake in hand is $1+ you get 1PP or if the rake is 1eur (at euro table) you get 1PP or if the rake is 1GBP you get 1PP. So if you have say $2k and follow 20BI rule you can play either NL$100 or NL50GBP. Which you'd prefer? How more likely will pot reach 20 or more monetary units (rake is 5%) in order to get 1 full PP (lower than 1 and you get 0.25PP and lower than 0.25 you get nothing)? Think about that.
Ideally you should have your BR in euro and play at $ tables. |

| iPoker has Rakeback, just like PokerStars has RB. They control it through player points. On NoIQ I get a pretty decent rate, comparable to any other site. |
