Hi My name is Ryan and I just created an account on PCF and was curious what everyone’s favorite deck of cards
Desjgns are my favorite as well
Why?I would recommend poker size cards for no limit hold em games and bridge size cards for anything else that needs more than two hole cards.
The feel is better. Two bridge size cards feels small especially with those with bigger hands. My hands are small and I do prefer the feel of two poker size versus bridge size when picking them up to peek at them.Why?
I understand bridge for games with lots of cards. But then why bother with poker size at all?
The Shuffle Tech ST1000 HATES bridge size cardsWhy?

I actually have desjgns and kems also have cartamundi cards coming all are poker sizedWelcome! I actually posted a thread today that asks about everyone's favorite aspects of the playing cards out there.

Just like with poker chips, everyone has their favorite qualities and preferences. I'd recommend getting a two deck set up of each brand out there and see what you like. You can stock up on the ones that you end up liking most. Most plastic cards will last multiple games before replacements are needed due to ink fading, marking, and bowing or warping.
In no particular order, you can't go wrong with @desjgn , who is a vendor here, Fournier, King Australia, Cartamundi Belgium, Piatnik, or Dal Negro. Modiano makes good cards but their customer service is the worst.
I actually like brand new bicycles. Problem is you go through a lot of them, as they sometimes don't even make them through the night. Plastic are definitely more cost effective, and with variety they are more secure.You will find there are as many opinions as there are members. About the only consensus is that 100% plastic >> plastic-coated paper cards. Other than that, it really comes down to personal preferences.
Poker actually isn't as hard on the cards as Sheephead,
WOW! I haven't seen these before! Just ordered a few decks from Amazon.My favorite are the copag “peek index” ones.
