    But then if I accumulate a bunch of Canadian money, how to get it back into US? Can I as an American open a bank account in Canada, or would that cause problems?

    I could just declare $10k+ and go back and forth, but then wouldn't I be at risk for civil asset forfeiture?
    Why the heck come to Canada? It is all dry here now. Vancouver has the worst games ever. 45% pen for DD. And as soon as you start spreading, the cut 1/3.Alberta used to be very good. Now they cut 2 decks for the 6 deck game. I am not sure about Toronto yet because i have not yet lived there.

    If you wanna spread large in T.O. or Ottawa, you better be hooking.

    Ldubz,I totally agree with you. All countable BJ games are both PEN garbage and very crowded.Some stores even take counter measures(way less than 50% PEN DD) even if you play their badass games.Under these shitty conditions, you will experience what I believe is unusually large variance and swings. Counting cards is not worth much and just waste of time in this area.Actually you can take a shot at 240BB buy in 2/5 poker game and have much bigger edge over your opponents if you are a decent thinking player.

    Games in Vancouver have not gotten any better since this was posted. Much better to play the Wa. State First Nations stores. I get asked how much cash I have every time I cross the border while going to the casino, but since I have a US bank account, I never have more than a few thousand with me, and withdraw more if needed in the USA
