Poker Stars plastic coated playing cards...

[unlucky513]

are these KEM or copag cards? worth the 1000 FPP's or should i wait out for somethin better.

thanks in advance.

Generally, "plastic coated" are paper card with the plastic coating. Kem and Copag cards are advertised as "100% plastic".

They're worse... save your 1000fpp. They're StudKings... plastic, but worse than Royals. I tried using them in my home game, and after two hands my players threw them off the table and demanded I break out a setup of Copags.

The feel's slightly different... they aren't as thick, and the feel suffers for it. But for half the price of Kems and all the durability, you can't go wrong.

what tourneys can you buy into w/ FPP's??? the only ones i've seen are the 50 fpp wsop qualifiers...

(i'm at work right now so i cant look through stars)

Me too, but under SNGs there are one-table tourneys for 1500 FPPs that give the winner T$215 (entry in weekly $350,000 guaranteed), and three-table SNGs for 500 FPPs that have the same prize.
