Maybe not a LOT compared to some of you but I am in a big downswing so...

I am goign to the EWSOP. Before that, I am going for several days to the aviation club in Paris for some cash games. I want to bring about 10k to play with. I plan on playing something like a 2,000 buy in game whatever that is in Euros. Should i just bring cash or is there a better way? gotta go to the bank soon so... Thanks.

If you're going to the bank anyway, just talk to someone at the bank, they'll tell you what to do.

Either take dollars and exchange in France or exchange in the U.S and take to France. What is the problem?

i guess i wasnt clear. in fact, none of my posts are really ever clear. I was worried about bringing all that cash. i was wondering if there was a more secure thing? Obviously not... ?

American Express Traveller's Checks; they're insured.

There are fees associated with them though.

i was thinking about that... but where can I cash those and how much can I cash at once? i know hotels cash them but I dont think tehy will throw me 10,000 or anything close.
