Here's a hint: The pips don't show up until you look at them. Think of them as quantum locked.not really, I just want magic cards that morph
God... You are very specific...Poker, Jumbo, 4-color.

We play lots of Omaha and Big O. Hard to spread that many poker size cards.
I used a set of those once. Epileptic seizures followed.Copaq makes a "Magnum index" View attachment 414537
I have yet to find a poker room anywhere in the world that uses "poker" size for poker. "Poker size" is the card equivalent to "official casino weight" chips.I don't ever use bridge size cards. Maybe if I was playing bridge. I also prefer standard index, but jumbo is acceptable.

Personally, I have a strong preference for Bridge Jumbo, but will occasionally use Poker size just as to avoid getting tilted if I wind up in some amateur's house using poker size.
I realize poker rooms don’t use poker size cards. But I have no idea why. Even playing Omaha, you only hold four cards. And most of the time they are on the table, anyway. It’s not like they take up a lot of room in your hands. As opposed to playing a card game like, you know, bridge, where you hold 1/4 of the deck. That’s a good use for bridge size cards.I have yet to find a poker room anywhere in the world that uses "poker" size for poker. "Poker size" is the card equivalent to "official casino weight" chips.

When I visited my sister in Frankfurt the card room we went to there used poker sized cards - they also machine shuffled. I never see poker rooms around me using poker size cards, but they are all hand shuffled. Might be a correlation there.I have yet to find a poker room anywhere in the world that uses "poker" size for poker. "Poker size" is the card equivalent to "official casino weight" chips.

They don’t use poker sized cars because they are fatiguing to shuffle and deal. Automatic card shufflers have only been in widespread use for around 10 years...at least from what I’ve noticed in AC. The ones used in casinos are design for bridge cards. Dealers used to shuffle every hand and still do in many cases. They have also been using bridge cards for a very long time. If you look at pics from the first WSOP you can see they are using bridge cards (Kems I think)I realize poker rooms don’t use poker size cards. But I have no idea why.

The only thing I can think of is maybe they are easier to shuffle? Less likely to get jammed in the shuffler?
Tons easier to shuffle and deal. The wear/tear on the dealer is one of the biggest reasons I use them. They take up a lot less table real estate in stud games, too.The only thing I can think of is maybe they are easier to shuffle?
I doubt many bridge card users actually play bridgePoker if I have to deal myself.
If I’m sitting in a game with a dealer, it doesn’t matter to me. I have always played poker with poker sized cards. I’m not a bridge player so I’ve never gotten used to handling the smaller cards.
Doesn't really matter, I’ll take down pots with either.
Wear and tear on the dealer? I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Seems to me, the act of shuffling cards for hours would affect you the same whether it’s a poker sized deck or bridge.Tons easier to shuffle and deal.

The extra hand strain caused by larger cards is very real.Wear and tear on the dealer? I guess I’ll have to take your word for it. Seems to me, the act of shuffling cards for hours would affect you the same whether it’s a poker sized deck or bridge.
