Experience the legendary Viennese craftsmanship of Piatnik with this premium 100% Plastic Poker Deck designed specifically for Texas Hold'em. Since Ferdinand Piatnik took over Anton Moser's card painting business in 1843, the Piatnik family has preserved and refined the art of playing card manufacturing for over 180 years. What began as a traditional craft shop in Vienna's 14th district has evolved into Europe's leading game publisher, with products now available in 72 countries worldwide.
This Texas Hold'em poker deck (part number 1358 11) represents Piatnik's commitment to quality and innovation, specifically tailored for the world's most popular poker variant. Each deck contains 55 cards (52 playing cards plus 3 jokers) housed in a protective plastic case. The poker size cards measure 63 x 88 mm (2.5 x 3.5 inches) and feature corner index design, which is particularly advantageous for Texas Hold'em gameplay where players need to discreetly peek at their hole cards while community cards are displayed on the table.
Crafted from 100% full plastic rather than plastic-coated cardboard, these cards offer exceptional durability that can last up to 50 times longer than traditional paper decks. The fully plastic construction provides casino-quality performance with numerous advantages for serious poker players. Unlike paper cards that bend, crease, or show wear after repeated use, Piatnik's plastic cards resist damage and maintain their pristine condition through thousands of shuffles and deals. They're completely washable and waterproof, making them ideal for lengthy poker sessions, home games, or tournament practice.
The corner index design allows players to fan their cards tightly and check their hand with minimal exposure, a critical feature in Texas Hold'em where protecting your hole cards from opponents' view is essential. The smooth surface ensures effortless shuffling and dealing while the durable material prevents marking or creasing that can compromise gameplay.
Made in Vienna, Austria, these cards carry forward the Piatnik heritage established when Ferdinand and his three sons—Ferdinand, Adolf, and Rudolf—incorporated as "Ferdinand Piatnik & Söhne" in 1882. The company's dedication to quality raw materials sourced from local European suppliers and FSC-certified sustainable forestry practices reflects their commitment to excellence.
Whether you're hosting Texas Hold'em tournaments, cash games, or enjoying Omaha, Seven Card Stud, or other poker variants, Piatnik's 100% plastic Texas Hold'em deck delivers the professional quality and longevity that has made this Austrian manufacturer a trusted name for nearly two centuries.
