New Cards -- But Are They New & Improved?

[Marc Desjardins]

From the same report:

Misreading Cards

There has been a lot of problems with the new cards. Michael Binger won a pot because his opponent misread his hand. The player thought he had 6-6 when in fact he had 6-9. Binger's A-Q took down the pot. Lucky for that player, the format was Limit and he only lost a small pot.

I have been playing for a long time ya know. Leave the freaking cards alone. I can easily read standard cards without raising the corners nearly this much. I also know how to protect my hand.

My skills are becoming obsolete?

Obv, eliminate cards altogether and wire up sunglasses with a display on the inner surface that shows your hole cards, the board, pot and stack sizes, pots odds and of course, PT stats on your opponents.

Add mouse.

Anything else we can do for the socially retarded?

I got a blind friend, gonna enter him in the main event and demand cards in Braile.

We'll sue! We'll sue!

Thats something the Congress could get behind.

I do like the little line under the six. I wish network tv would put a little line under the Democrat's chins when they are talking on tv so I can distinquished them from the Republicans.

You know, I've always wondered why they didn't have an event for the blind (with braile cards). I don't think it should be that hard to do, and the dealer could announce what the flop, turn and river was.

I mean they already have a ladies only event and a seniors event, why not a braile event, or even just an event for the handicapped (IE: People who are paralized and can't use their arms/hands to see their hole cards)?

Didn't they have something like that at the USPC?

Or was that a tournament for the deaf? I recall seeing this on ESPN somewhere.
