KEM? COPAG? MODIANO?

[KampfHase]

Hi there,

I am thinking about which cards to buy. Currently we are playing with Copags (pokersize, poker index). We also purchased a deck of jumbo index copags, because I think they look cool. Playing with the jumbo index I noticed that it is actually a little bit uncomfortable since you have to lift the cards more in order to see both the rank AND the suit. The poker indeces are easier to spot when you lift the edges of your hole cards. Now, I was kinda shocked by this fact because I always thought the jumbo index was a must-have. But now I really think the normal-sized index does a better job (when your eyes are still fully functional), because you do not have to lift the edges that high up and bend the cards that much.
I mean, if you look at jumbos on the flop they still look great, but they fail as pocket cards, I think.

Any thoughts on this?

Now, does anyone have experience in playing with Modianos (poker index, 4-coloured). I've read on homepokertourney.com that Modianos feel a lot thicker than KEMs and Copags. A fact that I would appreciate since I am never quite sure whether I really like the thin KEMs and Copags, although they are considered to be the best and shuffle really well.

Now, my question: KEMs? Copags? Modianos?
KEMs: Because they are known to be the best and most durable?

Copags: Because you get the best for your money?

Modianos: Because they provide a 4-colour deck with poker index and NOT 4 indeces? (The other card factories do provide 4-colour decks but only with 4 indeces and that sucks, I think.)

Jumbo Index: Because it looks cool on the board and you know em from TV?

Poker Index: Because it is more handy when looking at your hole cards?

4-colour: Because I use 4-colour online and it would be cool and helpful to have em at home, too.

Problem is, I am too stingy to just buy all of them. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
