Where is the best place to find some Dal Negros. Seems to be a lack of them on the net. Also was trying to decide between the freedoms and the Torcellos. I really like the Torcellos but it seems as though they arent as popular is there a reason for this? thanks for everything!
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

There is another site but the only one I can think of right now is pokerchips.com. As for the Torcellos, I'm pretty sure they are pinnacle cards. Not that there is anything wrong with using them for poker, but I suspect that's why more people don't.

The Kardwell ones were really nice. Anyone who knows what Dal Negro design that is?

I'm not sure I completely understand you. We both might be confused though because what I meant to say originally was "Pinochle" instead of "pinnacle" - I spelled it wrong the first time. Anyway, the Torcellos are definitely pinochle cards... I've heard other people say they like using pinochle cards for poker because it allows you to bend up any corner and see your hole cards. Check out this link...

Pinochle cards are a special deck consisting of 48 cards, 9 to ace with two of each denomination.
I think what you are talking about is sometimes called a "left handed deck"
These are usually found in Europe and have pips in all four corners instead of just two.
Dal Negro sells both styles.
Hope this helps.

Those are called the "Grand Slam." They are available in green/brown and red/blue.

Torcellos are PVC poker cards. However, they are four spot, meaning they have the card numbers on all four corners.
