A_Very_Quick_Questio

When it comes to playing cards for my at-home poker games, my brand loyalty has always been Bicycle.

What brand of cards would you recommend (excluding the $25-$30 KEM and Copag plastic cards)? Are Bee cards superior enough to switch brands (yes, I realize they are both brands of the USPPC)? Which brand of playing cards are most prone to wear and tear and should be absolutely avoided?

Thanks for the response!

Another Poker Question: In your opinion, what poker/card game variants are the best/most fun to play in a casino and why? ( I believe you mentioned Pai gow poker in both this and the previous thread...I'm unfamiliar with that variation; what makes it so great?) And, of course, what poker/card game variants do casinos offer that are absolute ripoffs that should be avoided and why?
