Plastic vs. Regular? (2 Viewers)

[Phyffe]

If money were no object - Linen finish paper playing cards replaced after every orbit.

If living in the real world then my choice would be (in order of preference)-

1. Good plastic playing cards (i.e. Kem, Modiano, Copag, Desjgn, Fournier)
2. Good paper playing cards (i.e. Bicycle, Bee)
3. Generic Plastic Playing cards

Bees for me!

No, wait... Bees!

By way of explanation - I'm a lifetime blackjack player and haven't played poker in a casino in ~35 years, so air cushion/linen/cambric finish Bee/Paulson/Aristocrat/Cartamundi are simply what I'm used to and expect to feel. The texture/weight/flex are just instantly familiar.

I did pick up a couple of Copag decks when we started up a regular home game a few months ago and don't dislike them (although they are some slippery mofos) but as we're just a single-table monthly game I'll likely stick to with what I'm familiar with.

Kem aren't slippery. But they're overpriced . Some people will laugh, but try Bullets
