I like to generally play in pounds becuase the games are a lot softer( even though i amfrom us) so yes it is a valid question....

it really does matter!! be aware of this:

on $ tables max rake is 3USD.
but on pounds tables max rake is 3 pounds. and that is OVER 5 USD!!!
hard to beat that rake.

another example: poker sites are taking me around 10.000$ in rake per month. if i would be playing with pounds that would be 17.400/m.
that would be 88.800$ lost in rake per year.

think twice before sitting on other than $ table would be my advise.

Yes, but if your win at 2bb/100 hands those BBs are rated in GBP, not $ so it all balances out. I look at it this way when I play at the crypto sites. I can play a 1/2 NL GBP game against the standard crappy 1/2NL player, but play them for 2/4NL stakes. How is this NOT a +EV decision for me?
