Do you use a 4 color Deck playing Online?

#1 30th September 2009, 5:35 AM

I think all sites offer this, do you use it?

I do every site, I think if you multi table you have to.
Your thoughts

#2 30th September 2009, 5:47 AM

I started because on cake the spades looked very similar to the clubs. Now I have 4 color deck on every site.

#3 30th September 2009, 6:28 AM

I dont think theres much of a point. But it makes the decks look a litter cooler and more colorful.

#4 30th September 2009, 6:33 AM

I tried it once when I was playing a lot of tables and couldn't get used to it.

There is a point to doing it, it makes flushes more noticeable when you are playing a lot of tables at once.

#5 30th September 2009, 6:33 AM

I like the traditional way. I just like seeing the a real cards opposed to the multicolored ones.

#6 30th September 2009, 6:33 AM

yes of course much easier, and poker decks were originally 4 colors BTW.

#7 30th September 2009, 6:35 AM

I hate the 4-color deck, no matter how many tables Im playing FTR

#8 30th September 2009, 7:03 AM

I make sure I use them all the time. It was a little weird the first little while that I used them, but It's just standard to me now.

I tried it on pokerstars a couple a times but the 4 colours annoyed me too much, so i stick to standard card deck.

#11 30th September 2009, 4:53 PM

What .... no cake ??? No bastard ????? Bogus poll IMO

#12 30th September 2009, 4:56 PM

always

#13 30th September 2009, 7:54 PM

I use the four color decks because I multitable. It is important to be able to read your hand correctly and quickly so you don't give off any tells. For me, the four color decks make it less likely for me to make a mistake.

#14 30th September 2009, 7:57 PM

No, I never have.

The sites made that option for people w/ bad eyes that can't see very well & for girls who like pretty colors IMO...

Yes, I always use it.

Even playing one table that is still true.

I now find playing live / paper(plastic) cards a bit strange to only see two colors now , though I guess 4 color ones are available ?

#16 30th September 2009, 8:12 PM

When Multitabling... it makes it sooooo much easier to spot flushes ... love it!

#17 30th September 2009, 8:16 PM

I started using a 4 colored deck after I made a mistake one day and thinking I had a flush when I didn't!!! Now it just looks odd not seeing 4 colored decks on sites when I play .

#18 30th September 2009, 8:17 PM

i use it because sometimes i confuse the suits and think i have a flush when i don't

#19 30th September 2009, 8:20 PM

yes, i have to use it. much simpler.

i get confused and think i have flush when i have q hi..

I use it most places, not all. And only started maybe 6 months ago, and to my own surprise, loved it immediately. I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to many things, so at first felt like it was a 'crutch', and I was less of a decent player for using it. And I was also afraid it would become a crutch, which it has to a small extent. I think it's at Carbon where you look at your hand history, and it flashes it back w/2 color deck, and it's extra work. lol

I find it distracting. I like no-nonsense cards, no animations, just gimme my cards and lemme play

Yes 4 color decks are available. Google-4 color playing cards.
I aways you 4 color online but it was strange the first time I played live with a 4 color deck.

#23 1st October 2009, 12:58 AM

I use this deck for playing serious Hold Em. And I have another for 7 card games. And it has 2 colors for spades. You can use either one. It is just a preference. I like the yellow.

#24 1st October 2009, 1:07 AM

I personally always use it if availbe...I once was playing 3 tourneys at once..it was late stages in one, and i looked and seen 2 hearts on flop while holding two..it then put another heart on turn...but i read it wrong.. the games were swtiching fast cause they were short handed, and got it wrong..pushed all in with a king high flush which was really a king high, lost and felt like a tool..from now on, ITs 4 colours all the way :-)

#25 1st October 2009, 1:09 AM

i found it hard when i first changed, seemed weird. But after a while u will adjust to the 4 colours. No going back now. Minimizes on missclicks for sure.

#26 1st October 2009, 1:17 AM

I voted no only because bastard was missing from the poll.
I am traditional, I tried the 4 color deck once and I missed crap in my hands because I found the colors too distracting.

#27 1st October 2009, 1:19 AM

i wanna say this though, some of the 4 colour decks are abnoxious and look so awful.

#28 1st October 2009, 1:25 AM

I didnt like it the first time I tried it but when I started to multi-table I found it to very useful. I now use it on every site I play and I cant see myself going back to regular colors.

#29 1st October 2009, 1:27 AM

Some sites the clubs start looking like spades...so yes I multi-color my cards!

#30 1st October 2009, 1:30 AM

if im multi tabling i use 4 colour deck to make it easier on the eyes when ur tryin to focus on so many things.
But when im only playin on one table then i'll stick to normal colour decks.

#31 1st October 2009, 1:35 AM

Personally I stick to the regular deck, tried the colored deck once and did not like it to much. GL

#32 1st October 2009, 1:52 AM

I did for a while but I like the traditional look.

Well you never want to play with abnoxious or awful decks

#34 1st October 2009, 5:10 AM

I just recently started using these when multi-tabling & I like it a lot

#35 7th October 2009, 2:28 AM

I tried the 4 color deck once but i really couldn't get used to it.
I use the regular decks.
