Welcome!! The main difference is the width of the playing card. Lots of casinos have moved over to bridge because dealers of all hand sizes can comfortably hold the card deck in their hand with less fatigue. For home games, it is usually just a matter of preference or equipment availability...

I worked in a casino. Cards get changed out a lot more often than you probably think. I have seen kems that changed drastically in a week. Not years. I still think that as you stated, all things are not equal (thickness, coatings) that different cards may wear/flex differently over time. This...

FYI bridge vs poker poll: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/card-size-for-nlhe-bridge-standard-or-poker-wide.26944/

2 decks of kems. Paperwork says 1997. Both setups are still sealed and in new condition. 25 plus shipping each or 50 dollars shipped for both. Thanks Colter I'm not sure on the size.... Bridge vs poker

I guess bridge vs poker is just one of those things that people will always have differing opinions about and so you should decide based on what will sell the best to your overall market. Maybe that's what you are doing by asking the forum if blackjack index being poker size is a deal-breaker...

Thanks. Meanwhile I did some arranging things. Not finished, but a process can be seen. Time for bed now.

...not for you give them to the kids. Beyond that it really comes down to personal preferences. Firm vs flex, texture vs smooth, poker size vs bridge, regular index vs jumbo. Some of these are very different between manufacturers and some not. Ultimatly you just have to get a set in your own...

I like the idea but KEM history part is more about USPC than KEM

I appreciate everyone’s thoughts here, particularly your’s OldState, on playing poker with “blackjack” size cards. Perhaps start a new thread to poll those who use bridge size vs Poker (blackjack) size cards for Poker. Final Test - weight: Copag Deck - 4.55 oz Kem Deck - 4.25 oz. No...

This project looks great! Making cards has to be the toughest of the poker projects, because even a stellar deck will not please everybody. Some people (in particular, left handed bridge players) like 4 index cards. Other hate them. Some people love 4-color decks, others hate them. Jumbo vs...

Great info being shared in this thread. Interesting that there seems to be a good deal of people who think KEM Pre and Post USPC is a big factor, and many others who believe that there was no noticeable change at all. I have owned several brands in the last 5-10 years and my favorites really...

Thanks all.... let's see how much of that I can address/confess to.... Tried to note that where I believe it matters. Let me know if I've screwed up on any brands. (not out of the question) For example: As I know it, a Copag, is a Copag, is a Copag... the only difference between say a 1546, a...

Huh? There is no shift trend. They are using Poker sized (often jumbo index) on televised final tables for the sole reason they are easier to pick up on the camera and for you to see ....at home...on your TV. Cost has ZERO to do with anything. Casinos spend thousands just to pump scented air...

Old State, are you saying you confirmed that the Fournier Bridge 2826 (Jumbo Index) is the exact same as the Bicycle Bridge Presitige? Holy crap - the Bicycle Bridge Prestige cards are made in Spain just like the Fourniers. I've now tried various decks - Modiano Bridge, NPT Poker, Fournier...

Ok, just did a side by side comparison - Kems vs Compags (1) Thickness - I was surprised here, Kems are indeed the thicker card of the two. (2) Texture - Kems have more of a textured feel than Copag and are bit more slick. Just personal preference here as to what you like. I'm indifferent on...

I had a chance this week at work to talk to a couple of "old timers" that played poker, 21 etc. ( not professionally, the"VFW / Elks club/Home games of the time) .., in the 1940's and 50's but they shed some very interesting light when I asked them about "Poker" cards ..; To them, they did...

Maybe I'm biased but I play with few lefties that hate 2 corner decks. We often use peak decks but some players hate peak. So in theory a right handed player should care less about having extra two corners than the left handed Player cares about having nothing in their corner. I know that if we...

Modiano PA is ok for poker size Everything else - bridge size I don't personally have a preference for jumbo vs regular index. Usually I use jumbo to accommodate any players who have vision issues.

It’s funny how subjective this is. That “snap” that makes them feel more substantial to you is what makes them feel stiff and (combined with the lack of texture) clumsy to me. I don’t like them at all. The limited experience I have with KEM’s makes me think they’re the best. But when I can get...

Did anyone actually read this book? I got to the 4th sentence. But I'm not smart
