If I wanted to open up an online poker account so I could hang with you folks, I trust that Pokerstars is the room of choice, yes?

Are there easy ways to fund pokerstars? I wouldn't want to do the USMail cashier's check if I can avoid it.

If funding is a problem, I see some on this forum trading chips or paypal for a pokerstars transfer. Is this reliable? Seems like there would need to be a decent # of folks with a balance, or an ability to add funds easily.

Advice?

Thanks

Mark
