Just picked up some Kem, poker size, jumbo index in red/blue. Love them
Show us some pics..
Remember to store them properly to avoid warping. KEM arrows were my favorites until they warped on me.

Hmmm, what's properly? Right now they stay in their case on a shelf in my office.

favourite, poker size?

Stored upside down in the case with about 30-40g of weight on them (e.g. a dealer button)

Yes. Wasn't there a whole thread about proper storage techniques for Kem? Can someone post that?
That's how I store mine since I got my KEM set. LOL. It should work.

Yup there was thread about it a short while back. Wish I knew about it years sooner.
If I can gather up the courage I may get a deck of KEM arrows again one day. I really dig the back design and the handling of Kems. They handle and shuffle like a dream.
Mine curled at the edges. Maybe add a cut card or two to help press down on the edges?

Kem's are nice, they're just a pain in the ass. Never had to work so hard to keep decks flat. I've moved onto other brands personally.

I am jump starting our games again starting today. I went through my box of card setups last night and most of my KEM setups are warped now. It is frustrating because I really like the floppiness and texture the best. I am going to try out the Fournier WSOPs tonight. Hopefully the bridge-jumbo ones from Europe get here before 2022 haha. If I like those and they dont warp I will go after more of those. Otherwise I may go back to Desjgn.
@CdnBeerLover got me hooked on cards LOL. I’ve been eyeing the Fournier EPT and WSOP decks.

I am playing the Fournier WSOPs tonight for the first time. But after I received them I liked them enough to order a couple of new bridge-jumbo setups from Europe. Hoping I like them in actual play.

I had about 12 decks but didn't play poker for over 10 years. Took the out last year and they all looked like a U, I tossed them all. I bought new decks and within 2 months they warped. Never again. I bought the Design cards and just wasn't really a fan, had a couple chipped corners happen. Modiano, Faded Spade, Cartamundi are much better IMO. Should be getting some Fournier in a couple days, the WSOP ones. Hopefully they are as nice as people are saying.

I am going to try and see if there is some way to flatten them a bit through compression. It is obviously very humid where I live and we do play outside, but these are stored in a nice cool closet. I like the thinness and floppiness of the Desjgn cards, but the downside for me is that they are slicker than I would prefer.
These are way too stiff for my preference.
For the last 5 years we have been playing with the Modiano Club cards which have been great. Last month I bought a Kem setup and liked playing with them but I have a bad feeling they will warp soon.

The 2.0 Faded are a bit too stiff. I actually prefer the 1.0 because of this. A middle ground between the two would be ideal.
Yep, the Modiano are my go to

That is also my reason for avoiding KEM, I felt it didn't make sense to pay so much for a Deck with such high maintenance
the V2 EPT's are awsome and in my top 3

No idea what the BE stock is. The ones I had seemed stiff and thick. Would like to order some though if they are the softest. And for some reason a lot of my anecdotal experience and feeling has not aligned with that chart. I don’t know if it’s a perception thing or issue of “stock” or what.

Oh, some of my new bridge-jumbo Fourniers arrived from Lithuania today just in time for my come back game tonight.
