Why not get an account that comes with an ATM card. They must have ATMs in Ve.

B/c the ATMs (like the banks) are going to do it at the official rate not the black market rate.
I was in Zimbabwe about a year ago and they have the exact same problem. The only solution I knew of there was to drive across the border to get foreign currencies.
Can you drive to Columbia or any neighboring countries to open an account? I don't suppose there are a lot of Venezuelans who play poker, but I'm sure there are lots of businessmen who have the same problem and have some kind of workaround. Try to make some contacts with folks who are likely to have some business interests & contacts outside of Venezuela.
