No game of Texas Hold Em would be complete without its own deck of professional playing cards!
The properties of playing cards for poker can vary and include plastic playing cards in the form of PVC or Cellulose Acetate and paper, known as Card Stock.
When choosing your deck of playing cards it is important to consider what you are aiming to achieve: magicians will commonly use a film covered card stock as playing cards for use in magic tricks for example.
Durability and smoother shuffling will be found in the plastic playing card variants, whereas texture and low cost will usually be associated with card stock.
