Whether some cards are transparent to him and others aren't might have less to do with the "thickness" or opacity of the cardstock and more to do with how similar the inks are for the front and back, so the latter can obscure the former

Like imagine if the cards were made of stained glass, there's some dyes that would make it impossible to read a card from the wrong side and others that wouldn't

Seems you’d need special ink to see through the back but not front pips. With replicator tech, hopefully they’d make a Visor-resistant deck, limiting his advantages to just seeing body reaction of each player in minute detail with an adaptive computer interpreting what it means.

Geordi doesn't seem to have lie detector powers in any of the later episodes after they mention it and it seems like if polygraphs don't actually work seeing people's faces in infrared wouldn't be any more necessarily reliable
