4 color deck and multi-tabling

I saw someone's screen shot and they used a traditional deck. I then began to wonder if they multi-tabled, and if so how they were able to do it without a 4 color. I then began to wonder if most of the people who say they can't multi-table use a traditional deck and that is the reason, or if they just can't make the decisions fast enough.

Does anybody here use a 2 color and multi-table?

Nope 4 colour all the way.

Once I started using 4 colors I can't think of a reason to do otherwise. It is just simply a better choice.

When i first started playing online i didnt use a four color deck.. but i didnt really know about it lol untilll my friend who is color blind mentioned it to me.. thats when i tried it and will never go back doesnt really make sense not to use it... Especially if ur multi tabling.. IMO of course

Never used 4 color deck. Is it really that much better? How easy is it to get used to?

Better is kind of a relative term. If you're single tabling I don't think there's a huge advantage in a 4 color deck. However, if you multi table, the ability to tell suit at a glance without actually looking at the suit is invaluable. It's just one less thing you have to devote a lot of thought to, and the easier you make the information available the better off you are. As far as getting used to it, first hand and you will be used to it. Maybe third hand.

I tried a 4 color deck and got used to it very fast. I now only use 4 color decks.

4 colour deck ftw

i agree i think 4 color deck is a must when multi-tbling or not (but why are you playing online if you aren't multi tbling)

4 color all the way. Now if only I could use them live. ")

Don't care for the four colors and I multi-table. Tried the four colors and it frustrates me for some reason.....just dont look right to me.

I do multi table and have tried the 4 color deck and simply didnt like it,the green color makes it look ugly to me its like if the cards are rooten or slimy,just my ho

hi, I am new still, but saw you were here and wanted to ask if you play multi tables sized down or on different monitors. I don't like 4 color decks but only have 1 monitor

hello, i only play 4 tables max, since i also only have 1 monitor,i just resize them to fit and not overlap specially where the fold and all in button are

thank you for answering, I am trying to decide if I need another monitor, problem is i wonder if that might not be worse looking back and forth between them

I recommend using a 4 color deck, it makes things much easier. I changed up the colors of everything else such as the back of the cards (i made this a very bright color). The reasoning for that is that it is easier and faster to recognize which and how many players are still in the hand. I also changed the background and table very neutral in color for the same reason.
It's really hard to tell how much it helps and even if it does at all. But one thing is for sure, it can't hurt.

HI, I get bored just playing one game at a time, I really play better when I am playing more, but I also having trouble with their colors. thanks for your help, maybe I can try to change some as you did

Clubs are green and diamonds are blue, use a 4 colour deck and finish this poem with something that rhymes with blue.

I multitable (admittedly, only 4-6 tables) and I only use a two-colour deck. Call me a traditionalist. Never had any real problems reading my hands.

I see what you're getting at OP, but I'd be very surprised if simply not using a four-colour deck was what was holding anyone back from multitabling.
