4 Color Deck

I always use a standard board. 4 color during long sessions with 16 tables and more tired eyes

4 color decks make you look cooler

I never mind, 2 color or 4 color, doesnt matter.

I never use colored decks, it bothers me

Four colored decks are the way to go says Playful..

Personally I love the four colored decks. As many have said before it makes it much easier when multi tabling.

I do.
I started using a 4-color deck, because it is easier to distinguish the colors.
And so I can focus more on the game.

I've been playing all sorts of card games since I was probably about four years old. Never, until I started playing online poker, had I ever heard such a thing as a four colored deck. Even then I never thought to try to play with one until other cardschat members suggested that it made it easier to differentiate the suits. I suppose that's true if you multi tabling and have to reduce the size of your windows to fit more of them on the screen. But since I don't really multi table that much, I find it to be not only unnecessary, but very distracting. I guess I'm just set in my old ways.

I don't concentrate much and view other things mid hand to avoid boredom ! So 4 colour deck is great for quick viewing shame they don't have hand value like titan, even easier playing

Probably 4-color deck is better when playing 6+ tables.
I like the standard deck though.

I prefer the four color deck when playing PLO-8

I like the classic deck more, I don't know why but I think I'm more used to it and therefore I prefer it.

I really prefer to have four-color cards. It helps me in case I do not see Flush Draw. And it's exciting if I expect flush and more since I see the desired color shine.
It helps me have four colors.

.. always use a 4 color deck , don't understand why anyone wouldn't wanna make it easier on themselves at a glance , only time i didn't use it was at a site that had yellow spades .. just wrong lol

2 color deck is the same as live deck.
so make live and online no difference, 2 color deck is not a bad choice.

PS: I like 4 color deck.

I use 4 color card !!! I think it does not affect the game !!! most likely it wont !!!

I'm fine with both. However 4 color cards, when I play online, does help me reducing time & mistakes.

Loving it!

Who prefers a 4 color deck? Does it help or is it distracting?

I use to hate it! For real... then recently when I had shoulder surgery and was put on a lot of meds it really helped me not only on 1 table but when I get 4 going it really helps me concentrate more and make less room for stupid misreads.

Use a regular, but after reading this topic I will try 4 color.
Visually it is not very pleasant.

I've gotten so use to 4 color deck that I made a flush mistake at a casino recently. I had raised on the river not realizing that the river card completed a flush.

A combination of fatigue and rushing through the hand costed me 75 BBs LOL. Was a terrible feeling seeing them turn over an obvious flush.

4 color should be the norm , I really don't know why it's not the norm.

I absolutely prefer 4 colordeck!

I strain to distinguish clubs from spades when I'm playing multiple tables--four colors, or not.

I like the 4 color deck

I like the look of the normal colored deck. The other colors does not fit in poker.
