bigslick7878 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 A friend of mine recently went to vegas and brought me back a "gift" of a deck cards that were very similar to these.They came with a nice little leather case to put them in,and a fancy box as well to put the case in.Problem is the numbers and suits were so small it was darn near impossible to read the community cards from your seat unless you looked really hard.Needless to say they are sitting in their nice little box collecting dust on a bookshelf,while my $1.29 deck from WalMart is back in play.

givalitl 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I think the concept/idea behind the cards is actually really good. However, the execution of the idea is terrible. I think the angled numbers in the corner of the cards is a great idea, but why make it tiny? I understand they want to help conceal the card but they went extremely too far. And the orientation of the big numbers in the middle of the card is just plain stupid. It's like Mead deciding to make all of their 5 subject paper notebooks with the metal spiral on the right hand side. Link to post Share on other sites

donkeypunch 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I wonder if it's the US playing card company that makes those. The Qd's face looks like one of theirs. Some people need to be fired before they're even hired so this **** doesn't happen. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Fresh Kem Cards Have Arrived!Tournament Director Jack Effel just made an announcement that received a lot of applause. A package of classic Kem cards has arrived, and floorstaff will be swapping out fresh decks during the next break. It's not certain that there are enough decks to cover tomorrow's action, but Harrah's is definitely reacting as quickly as possible.guess Annie complained about the cards Link to post Share on other sites

Virtuoso80 0 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 When I saw the cards that FileError404 posted on Page 1 I thought 'oh, that's not really that bad. You can play with those'. THEN I saw the real cards they're using in the WSOP and...wow. How stupid can you be to put the numbers like that? I can't see how anyone could approve those in ANY game, let alone giving them their debut in the biggest event of the year. Link to post Share on other sites

Al Smooth 0 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I just got back from the Rio, wrote my blog entry and saw this thread...The cards are just brutal...Unless you're in the 5 or 6 seat, you can't really see the suits, the sixes and nines look extremely confusing to a LOT of the players, and they made NUMEROUS announcements about how they will be replacing the decks with the old ones as soon as possible. Another problem that Jesus Ferguson pointed out is that the back side of the cards isn't symmetrical. The new cards feature Jeffery Pollack's signature on the middle of the back side which makes for a very clear top and bottom of the card...this may not seem like a big deal but this makes the cards that much more markable because you know the top left corner from the bottom right. Amazingly big screw up from the wsop on this one. Link to post Share on other sites
TR1N1TY 0 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 this really makes you wonder...so there is a players 'committee' that decides upon any changes made re: cards/chips etc. This means that these cards were looked at, and decided upon....but by WHO ? Who is the dipsh1t who thought that these cards would be well received in the first place. Seems to me that vast majority of the players absolutely hate them. Why did this even happen in the first place. Classic case of poor research and flawed decision making by inept decision makers. Link to post Share on other sites
