I believe that for online, the 4-color deck makes things much easier because we play multiple screens. In live play, I don't see the need for it, since we're only at one table, but if the majority think it would help live as well, I don't see why we shouldn't implement it.

it's a good idea to make flushes stand out more

Online, I cant think of a reason to not use a 4 color deck, it makes decisions faster and helps reduce mistakes.

Live I have played with a 4 color deck a couple of times and with weak dealers it does make it easier to see others suits.

I actually own a couple of four-colored Copag decks — a friend sent them to me from the US as a gift years ago. Lately, I’ve been teaching my older son to play poker, and the extra colors really help him recognize suits faster while also making the game look more vibrant. I think for live games it could reduce mistakes, especially during long sessions, and it definitely adds a nice visual touch to the table. Honestly, once you get used to it, going back to just two colors feels a bit dull.

Four color for me, so convinient with multiple tournaments running at the same time and minimized tabs!

I don't think the four-color deck makes sense in the live game.

I definitely prefer 4 color decks online. It is very helpful for me, especially when playing multiple tables (which I usually do). I have never played a live game with 4 color cards but I think I would like that. Although, since I am only focusing on the 1 game, I don't think it is as necessary.

I am not against it, because such a deck helps to differentiate cards easier, I remember that I recently saw the video of a dealer in a tournament making a mistake and sucking up a winning hand with flush, the main reason for lack of attention, but I think a 4-color deck would have helped, even if it leaves the game “childish”

When we play live we play with a two color deck; are you for two colored decks or against them in live poker. On the internet we have the option to play with four color decks, which helps me when I get tired. Is this an advantage or disadvantage in your eyes if live poker implemented four colored decks?
it's going to make it harder to play live if you're used to 4 colour

I think the 4-colored deck is always better.

I can't get used to 4 colors, it looks really weird. I don't even play online, and I wouldn't play live either.

I’m all for four-color decks live since they cut down on mistakes, but I get why some people prefer the classic look.
