You may want to try using Dal Negro instead. Like ky70 said earlier, they make for an easier transition.

They are a bit slippery at first, but it'll get better with more usage.

I believe that they are plastic coated and not true plastic cards.

They're Studkings... plastic, but generally comparable to Royal or those knockoffs, not KEM or Copag. Definitely a waste of 1000 FPP.

Most definitely worth it. When me and my poker buddies play, a normal deck gets ruined in only a couple games. Plastic cards last forever. Not only that but when people look at their cards in hold em they tend to bend normal cards - that won't happen with plastic cards.

Hi

In my opinion the copag cards are worth the money and you should consider to buy the 4 color deck.

I host a home game once a month or so. Is it worth the extra money to get a few decks of plastic cards instead of the usual bicycle?

So the cards came last night. They say right on the box (like any generic product worth its salt) "Compare to Kems". Now, I couldnt pick Kems out of a police lineup... but these seem... odd. I think its the size.

When you first moved to plastics from the typical Bicycles, did you notice the size difference?
