New Setup came today... (1 Viewer)

[longflop]

Picked up a COPAG bridge size, jumbo index setup of the 1546 cards. My other good setup is the KEM arrow poker size, jumbo index, which I (and the boys) love. This is my first experience with bridge cards, so I had to break them out and shuffle them. Maybe its all in my head, but I felt like I was shuffling little kid cards. I did enjoy the feel and snap of them though, so we'll see how it goes this weekend. I am really curious about whether my guys will prefer the wide cards or not. Honestly, they probably wont even notice until I say something.

Once you go bridge you will never go back to poker deck, casinos only use bridge as well, I can't play anything but bridge now!!!!

Yeah, I used to love poker size, but after playing with bridge cards for a few games it's very hard to go back.

We changed over to bridge a couple of years ago. Everyone hates poker size now.

I wonder if I am going to go the same way. I love my KEM's, but I wonder if that's because of the size or the card.

One problem is that it seems not many people produce jumbo index bridge sized cards. I love the jumbo index because I never have to answer "what is that card?" fromt the other end of the table.

Copag makes a bunch of different bridge/jumbo. Many available on amazon. Their "Class" line is pretty nice.

In a self dealt game jumbo index is a must and if playing anything like PLO that has more than 2 hole cards bridge size is a must.

So that is all I will buy, bridge size jumbo index.

Alright, game was on Saturday, and just as predicted, none of my guys even noticed the difference. Even the ones that played on both tables with the poker sized and bridge sized didn't notice. I offered a crisp high five to whomever could tell me what was different, answers included: "these are marked" "the other ones are lucky" "who cares" "Grab me a beer" "Who's action is it?" All that matters is that I liked them and they seemed to shuffle easier, I think I am a jumbo bridge convert.

Ever since I've played with bridge jumbo I can't play with any other it just feels weird holding and shuffling em

Ha! Don't expect poker players to notice anything besides their chip stacks!
