Poker Playing Cards

 

"Poker” or “bridge” format?

There are two formats of poker cards in the market:

- Playing cards with "poker" or "wide" format are usually 62mm x 88mm

- Playing cards with "bridge", also called "standard", "regular" or even "narrow" format are usually 57mm x 89mm

 

However there are many other formats of playing cards, such as:

- Playing cards with "French" format are usually 55mm x 84mm

- Playing cards with "tarot" format are usually 69mm x 113mm

 

Although purists will not like it... you should know that many casinos and poker rooms use cards with "bridge" format, as they are easier to manipulate and deal the cards with "poker" format. However, most poker players prefer to play with "poker" format.

 

The poker cards index:

The index is the size of the value of the card.

They are 2 sizes of common index cards: Regular (small) and Jumbo (large). Jumbo cards are larger than the Regular cards, and so easier to read the index.

There are also double index, which carry both jumbo and Regular index, such as Fournier Poker Vision 100% plastic cards.

When choosing the index cards, it is important to do it in function of the number of players who will play the game. If you play on large tables with many friends, it is recommended to choose the Jumbo index for easy reading of the game and the Flop, Turn and River.
