In my opinion, it much depend on your intuation.
There are many who do it, but it is not as popular as Tarot.
In a google search I found this site which describe it well![:)](./images/smilies/001.gif)

I researched reading playing cards and it is similar to tarot reading. I have a harder time though remembering the meanings without the pictures, but someone who isn't a beginner like myself may have an easier time.

I actually started reading regular playing cards before I ever picked up a tarot deck and was successful enough that I eventually and naturally gravitated toward the tarot. The good thing about reading a regular deck is that if you don't have your cards and need to give yourself or someone else a reading you're still in good shape. Now when I read regular playing cards I usually interpret them as I would the corresponding tarot cards and I have been very successful at that.
Playing cards
I have a friend who reads both, she is more accurate when reading me when she uses her playing cards.

There are many versions/card discripts using a regular deck of cards. You can use them like tarot, but then again, it keeps you from buying another tarot deck! ![:smt003](./images/smilies/003.gif)
I like the Hedge Wytchery, Love Oracle and Personal Prophesy card discripts. There's tons of stuff out there to research and alot of books that keep coming out to grab ahold of!
Find what fits with your intuition!

The cards share an ancestry. You can read them much the same way you would read tarot cards (same meanings, with I believe hearts representing cups, spades as swords, clubs as wands, and diamonds as pentacles). The only difference is the knight+page vs. jack meaning, for which you may adopt a neutral blended definition of both.

Reading with Regular Playing Cards
I've used a regular deck of playing cards quite a few times to do a quick reading when I didn't have my Tarot deck with me. I got accurate answers but not as detailed as with a Tarot deck. What I was getting was mostly intuition rather than meanings from the cards. Intuition is a very big part of reading Tarot and Tarot, itself, helps to develop the intuition. It's much easier to use the Tarot -- to learn with, especially.
Hope this helps,.

Reading with regular playing cards
I do my readings thru regular cards and the people I do the readings on say that I'm very accurate. My friend and I each did a reading on our other friend and the regular cards were more accurate according to him.
