Don't wire to the cage for poker, they often won't let you just have it to 'spend'
FairFX cards let you withdraw $1k a day.
You can wire to the cage for the poker though and no problem if you use some for spend, just don't cash it all back in at the end of the session.
Depends what your daily requirements are I suppose.
You can also go to the actual bank depending on who you bank with and how far you are willing to travel.
I've always done cash, with multiple back up cards. Means spending can go on the cards and I can combine the withdrawal limits.
Only once has it bought about a whole different game of credit card roulette.
I always find cash with a selection of multiple back up cards
They can get funny as you're technically using them as a bank. I had a mare when I did it for WSOP and wanted the money from the Rio to go buyin to the main event. They didn't want to give it over, and it took over an hour to get it cleared.
Might have been Skalie or another brit that had problems getting his dough, as they wanted to hand it over in chips, obv.
I'm the same as you, I usually take half my money in cash, and the other half on a prepaid card. With a couple cards as back up
I use my clarity card for all my hotels, as that's as close to spot as we can get, I think.
