Playing Cards

Good playing cards actually make a big difference in a live poker game. Playing cards differ in durability, feel, and appearance. There are two basic types of playing cards - plastic and plastic-coated (paper) cards.

Plastic coated cards are the typical cards you would find in the grocery store or at Target, are very cheaply priced, and will not last more than a few tournaments. Plastic cards are made up entirely of plastic, so they are much more durable and flexible. Plastic playing cards can be cleaned with a damp towel, are much easier to shuffle, cannot be ripped, and if bent or folded can return back to its original shape. A single deck of plastic playing cards can last years.

KEM Playing Cards Copag Playing Cards

Cards differ in size as well. There are Poker Size playing cards and Bridge Size playing cards. Surprisingly, casinos use the Bridge Size playing cards, they are slightly smaller and easier to handle. I prefer this size for my home games as well. Both playing cards sizes are 3.5" in height, but Poker Size cards are wider at 2.5" (62mm) wide versus Bridge Size cards at 2.25" (57mm) wide. Another differentiating factor between playing cards are the sizes of the numbers and suits on the cards. I prefer the Large over Standard, these cards are easier to see when looking across the poker table. If you're serious about your home game, you have to be serious about picking up plastic playing cards. Copag and KEM cards are excellent choices, and you can pick them up at a great price at Vegas Supplies and Gifts. We Do it All Vegas also carries playing cards - both plastic and plastic-coated paper cards, with a nice selection of actual Vegas casino cards (paper).
