Hey I am 17 and am looking for a cheap holiday present for my bro who is in college right now. I know he adores poker, and he has a great set of chips, but his cards always get bent and frayed. I know this bothers him, so he would appreciate a good pack of cards. I have heard that really good cards are like plastic coated or something and are highly resistant to damage and bending and stuff. Anyone have any recommendations of where I could obtain such an item? Thanks!

Bicycle makes a plastic (not just plastic coated) playing card that should last. You can buy them in nearly any drug or discount store for about $5 a deck.
I have a few decks of KEM Arrow poker cards. They are widely regarded as the best, and most durable. I have found a great site, homepokertourney.com, with indepth reviews (I’m not affiliated with the site)
If your looking for some really good decks I suggest Copaq. You can get a two pack for about $20. They are a little bit more than regulare decks but they will last for a really long time. I use mine about daily and they have lasted over two years.
If your looking for really cheap ones go to a 99 cent store. If you are looking for better ones try bicycle.
u s playing cards make several different decks that would be great and last a long time.. Most magicians use Tally-ho type and ellusionist.com offers some high quality cards for magic, so poker playing would be good too.
