Re: New Cards -- But Are They New & Improved?
[ QUOTE ]
The new cards were actually reviewed in detail and approved by the PAC (Players Advisory Committee). Daniel Negreanu, TJ Cloutier, Annie Duke, Robert Williamson III, Chris Ferguson, Howard Lederer, and others are all on the PAC. The PAC looked at several different options, gave their feedback, then approved the design. The one problem with the process was that the players did not actually have cards in front of them, just a piece of paper with the design. Howard Lederer actually cut the paper into the size of the actual cards so that he could evaluate them, but other PAC members may not have done so. The other problem with the process is that I do not believe that the players looked at samples of every card (this is where the 6 and 9 issue may have slipped thru).
Clearly the cards are not acceptable, but it is not like Harrah's or USPC snuck some new design in without any input.

Good info, thanks.
Who are you, and where did you get this?
I concede that the 6 and the 9 are a little confusing, and it's probably a pain in the ass the read the board, but that's pretty much it. The face cards and the other numbered cards are fine -- and i kinda like the small angled icon in the upper corners.
