What To Do About Cards

Obviously you'll need at least one deck of cards per table (otherwise what are you going to do?! Ha ha) but it's usually smarter to have two decks per table. And wait to open them in front of the players. This way they know that the cards aren't stacked or marked, and also there's just something cool about opening a fresh deck of cards! Very classy.

The other good thing about having two decks at the table is that they can be alternated between hands, and while one deck is being dealt to the players the other one can be shuffled so it's ready to go for the next hand. This keeps things moving faster and smoother.
