Retiring decks (1 Viewer)

[trob]

For reasonably serious home play (ie not the college buddies over for a drinking game) how many hours of play/sessions do you expect to get out of a deck of cards (Bicycle brand or similar) before tossing them out?

bicycle - we toss after each session

Damn, I've been out of the loop for a while - just discovered this thread: https://www.pokerchipforum.com/threads/cards-review.3776/ and there are brands there I have not even heard of

Paper or plastic?

haha nice gif!

I was asking about just the standard Bicycle diamond back paper cards. Back when I used to host more I always had plenty of sealed cards available to swap out quickly, but clearly cards have evolved...

I use modiano platinum and we open a new set up at the beginning of each game......

if paper deck i think they only can last half a session, for 100% plastic u can use for a few months

good kem/copags should last a while. In my poker room we just use "make up decks" for damaged cards. If you spot a single damaged card replace it with the make up deck and keep going. and we did a cleaning/inspection of decks every couple weeks. I believe we changed ours out every quarter.

Edit... "My poker room" is not mine. I don't run games. Just worked in a very slow/small locals Cardroom.
