Complaits about cards

[skitzo444]

Does anyone know what people are complaining about. Apparently a lot of people don't like the new cards this year. What's diferent about them.

Also are the chips colors the same as last year?

The six and the nine are particularly problematic, and easily confused with each other. The "pips" in the center of the card are much smaller than normal, and contained in a box. Instead of having large numbers in the top left and bottom right corners, they are sort of in the lower left and top right -- and that's what makes the sixes and the nines confusing, because the six is in the general area where an upside-down nine would normally appear.

A current update says someone lost a pot with 6-9 to AQ. He thought the 9 was another 6.

Perfect time to debut a new type of deck that looks different than most decks, at the biggest poker month of the year. Maybe NBA will make a new basketball and bring it in during the finals.

Well, the new chips are okay but it will take getting used to the different denominations being shaped differently. I think the triangular chips should be uniform though, having three denominations denoted by different types of triangle...this is taking math toooo far!

Worst corner design ever.

How can you be so [censored] stupid to pick these cards? This should have to be the last of the players' worries.

I heard they are introducing a new card called the Jester, that is stronger than Jacks but weaker than Queens.

So is broadway now AKQ-jester-J?

No more straights at this year's WSOP, sorry!
