Default Which size cards do you prefer.

I know there is another thread running on this subject, but I am interested in actual numbers for a market survey.

I have large hands and could easily be comfortable with poker size cards, but with so many people likely to be handling them I opt for the bridge size.

Not to mention that this is what you will usually find being used in casino's and I try to emulate that environment as much as possible.

I use bridge size just because they are about the size of a normal set of bicycles and thats what everyone is acustomed to. Poker size is just a little too thin and feels weird to hold, almost like when someone puts out the dead handed no grip hand shake [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I know most casinos use bridge size. Don't care. They feel like "toy" cards...but then again I'm 6'4" and 255 lbs. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Really? Becase the first set of Kems I got was poker size and they were thin the long way. So the next set I bought, Kopag Bridge size, was thicker and more the sizs of a normal card.

As far as the surgery goes they postponed it so they could do it at Brigham and Womens in Boston becasue they have better assistants and Patholigists there in the off chance that the tumor in my scapula (shoulder blade) is malignant.

I think it'd be fun to play with those jumbo oversized card decks and big chips that are the size of dinner-plates. Pushing all-in would be rad.
