four color decks

dead homie · May 2, 2013

just wondering if you guys use four color decks online, and think thats how live poker decks should be. i say yes to both.

kmixer · May 2, 2013

I use them online. Helps the eyes make one less mistake.

fletchdad · May 2, 2013

Live I dont care. Online, yes, I use 4 colors.

vinylspiros · May 2, 2013

4 colors is wierd at first but after a day there is no going back.

surfersandi · May 2, 2013

I love the four colored decks and any animation that is offered; keeps you alert for those long freerolls

XXPXXP · May 2, 2013

Yes I use it

the good points are, u will have less chance to mixture with diamond with hearts and clubs with spades... since they have the same color

also, it is easy for u to know u are making a flush draw.

bad thing....err, if play live.....horrible ....usually 4 color deck are simple, so....

Live it's not really much of a problem as you're playing one hand at a time. Online you can be playing anything up to 24 tables so it's important to be able to see at a glance what suits are on the board.

I might have to switch to using a 4 color deck, I tried it once and didn't like it, but maybe I just need to get used to it.

TheKid84 · May 2, 2013

I've never seen it as an option live, but I don't have a lot of other live events to base my observation off of. I typically stick to my local poker hall and thats about it.

Anyone see a 4 color deck used live? Any opinion on it??

T-Dubs82 · May 2, 2013

i use them online, live i dont mind so much

No to four color poker decks, huge dislike. Why, because I am a serious guy.

jcla6985 · May 2, 2013

I use 4 color decks online. Live makes no difference to me

TrailerPark · May 2, 2013

That four color deck used to mess with my eyes for some reason,so i just stay with the norm,good ole black and red.

vinnie · May 2, 2013

I used the 4-color decks whenever possible. I've never seen them live.

Extreme Fishing · May 2, 2013

Why on earth would you not? Your brain can process it much easier!

I've never come across any major casino that uses them, but most major playing card companies offer a four-colour option if you want them for your home game or whatever. Just search on Ebay.

I'm not really fussed either way - personally I still use two colour both online and live. Live because it's just what I'm given to work with, and online because it's what I'm forced to use live and I don't want to, say, get myself used to four colours online and then start miscalling hands live because there were no green or blue cards or anything. Plus I never play more than about six tables at a time online and I haven't had any problems to date distinguishing clubs from spades etc.

I am envious .

Since about a year now, I can have a "bad eye day" where I have to put my glasses on, cause I am like "is that a club or a spade?"

The problem is, I cant lean back with glasses on, but have to sit closer to the monitor. W/o glasses, I am ok most of the time, but the 4 colors does give me an option of leaning back.

Of course, I have no idea whats on my HUD then, so all I can say is.........................

took me a few dozen time callin allins or big bets thinking i had a flush b4 i started using the 4 color deck. somebody give that man a cigar he thought up a good idea when he made that deck.

Chemist · May 4, 2013

can't remember ever not using 4 colors online.
and because some sites have terrible graphics, especially when small.

snklzona · May 6, 2013

Yes definitely prefer four color for online play...easy to distinguish suits...have never seen them live...

masondub · May 6, 2013

Yup I always use four colored decks online. I have called bets thinking I had a flush online and live, and its not a mistake I would like to make again

PotluckXXI · May 6, 2013

OH GOD YES!

It's amazing how you can mistake a club for a spade when not paying close attention.

glenn6971 · May 6, 2013

I prefer the standard deck. Just can't get used to the 4 color deck.

Kbalzara · May 6, 2013

Yes, can not imagine playing 6+ tables without 4 colour deck. Especialy late in session (when tired) could turn nasty with 2 colour deck.

Aleksei · May 6, 2013

I don't have much good to say about them aesthetically but they make your game loads easier, so I use them anyway.
