Can someone actually explain to me why this matters much to ms players? Or any poker players?

I mean, if it's that big a problem just move up a level to compensate for lost winnings, but we are only talking a few % here?

When I started playing online the exchange rate was 1.45 or so, so if i won $1450 I got £1000 in my normal currency.

Now at 2.06, I get £703.88, so it's quite the pay cut.

I'm lucky enough that I moved into mainly using £ anyway, but to say it's not much difference is pretty silly IMO
