apparently Steve from PS told someone "don't bother, we will catch you" via a phone call to VIP/high balance players.

Stop talking about this publicly. You know sites will be pressured to stop any VPN connections from connecting to the site. Keep your 'knowledge' to yourselves or in private.

Yes, 20 tables or so, decent low-mid stakes action. Always up to 5/5 NL running. Sometimes 5/10 and rarely 10/20. Playground Poker club right outside the city runs some bigger PLO games every now and then.

Passport card will work fine (same as a passport basically), you'll just have to wait at the border in lines, especially in the summer, and talk to the Canadian border agents each time. If you plan to go a lot, I'd look into getting a NEXUS card, like an EZ Pass for getting into Canada. Separate lane and no agents to talk to generally, over the border in 1 minute. Can't have any DUI's, felony convictions, etc, extensive background checks done. $50 for 5 years.

I don't get why the sites would care if players accessed the site via VPN. It's not like they didn't go way out of their way and dodge laws to get us on their site in the first place. I would have just assumed they would "look the other way" if they suspected VPN.

i think I am going togo this route will fill out the application tonight. The passport card said its good for land and sea travel. Since I am planning on flying there often it might not be good also do u think i will have a problem renting a place since i am US citizen i would prepay the rent. Might also be looking into sharing a place with other online pro's looking to do this.

Always wanted to play on Party since 06'

Re: Steps required to open bank and poker accounts in Canada

I was thinking now that Puerto Rico or US Virgin Islands might be an interesting option because they have super easy immigration laws for US Citizens. But I cant find anything via google about site policy to these places and I know Stars won't answer my email. i emailed party.

If you're gonna fly in, make sure get your iris (eyes) scanned as well (part of NEXUS program). NEXUS itself doesn't work for immigration by itself at airports in Canada. Montreal airport sometimes has no wait, sometimes hours+ wait for immigration. With NEXUS iris scan, you go to these machines at customs, it scans your eye, prints out a yellow card, and you skip talking to customs agents and waiting in line. Really simple, fast, and no questions asked.

No idea for rent/apt since we live about 90 minutes away, always just day trips for us. Although my friend I go up with all the time has always talked about getting a cheap place up there to stay for multi-day trips. I would assume it doesn't matter to landlords about citizenship.
