So I thought I had the best cards Bicycle [poker sized jumbo index]
Perfect
Except right from the start the cards got bent too much, too easily
Made them look like cheap / nasty cards
What are the best cards for poker [?]
As in still nice for the dealer but they dont bend and misshape [and definitely not right from the first hand]
I realise having the vault means that cards are going to be peaked at in a way more likely to cause damage but I was shocked at how the Bikes performed
So would love some advice
Ideally I would want the best brand and in jumbo index [poker sized]
Paper or even plastic coated cards don't hold up well after a very few sessions. We had somebody donate a red/blue Bicycle case of 24 (I think) paper decks a few years ago. Anyway they often did not survive intact more than one session. Consider plastic.
Put me in the Copag column. I'm sure Kem makes quality cards as well. I went to buy my first set of plastic cards and Copag was cheaper, so I went with them. Have not had a single complaint about them from any player, I have no complaints as well.
I happen to like the Bicycle Prestige plastic cards. However, since the games I attend are always rotated dealer, some people complain the cards are too slippery. But in reality, they just want to play cards and never want to shuffle at all.
