Default poker sites playing with other currencies other than US dollar ?

can someone please give me a list of poker sites that don't play with US dollars. I've played practically on partypoker for the last 3 years but the US dollar is just killing me and it's only going to get worse ... i'm looking to cash out before it tanks somemore and possibly play on a site without the greenback. Or even a site with another currency but I doubt there's many other than euro's ... thx.

I poker network.

You play in $ but conversion takes place on the site. So you deposit 1000£ say, and that is your balance on the site. When you join a table it converts the neccesary to meet the $ limit of the table and then when you leave the table it converts it back. When you cash out of the site it will be in the currency you deposited in.

Good site poker wise as well.

I emailed party and they were saying something to the fact of losing 3% to fees or conversion charges or something ? I'm currently in talks with partypoker over this .. I'm not sure I really even wanna play with US $ ... I see more people dumping the dollar in the next year dropping its value even more ... Playing 2/4 NL right now feels like I'm actually playing 1/2 NL a year ago ... just feel like I'm making less $ than I should be if I were playing with Euro's instead.

Being Canadian, you're going to be converting your money every time you deposit from or cash out to your bank account. No matter how you do this, you will always be paying some kind of vig. Although 3% is high, there's nothing unusual about it, and I'd be surprised (and eager to learn about) any method that would be less than 1.5-2%.
