I changed to 4 colors and now can't go back to 2 colors.

At first I thought that 4 colors was weird but then I realized that 4 colors would improve my reading.
Actually by watching some Twitch streamers I started to realize this.

For now I only use 4 colors online but my next physical real deck will be 4 colors also.

In my personal opinion this is the best way for novice players to start learning because they will always forget or make mistakes on every flush hand.

Both are fine by me. In online I like the four coloured deck, as it’s easier. But standard colours are fine too.

I don't like four-color cards. I am used to playing with cards of only two colors that makes my game with more concentration. When I play online I use two-color cards.

Honestly, I don't care which deck of cards to play. The main thing is to have free time, and the main thing is not to play with junk. Everything else is not significant.

I have never played poker live, but only online. But it would be fun if everyone had a tablet at a live table and could choose a 4-color deck of cards and two-colored cards were laid out on the table. So it's much easier to look at what fell on the table and you don't have to get up to see the board.

I think this option should be in a live poker casino.For example, if out of 9 players sitting at the table, the majority votes for a 4-color deck, the dealer deals 4 colored cards:cool:

Four color is the only way I like to play. Multi tables, it's just too hard for an old man like me to keep up.

Four colours are not required for live play. Online do what-ever you want.

It is a great advantage to play with a four-colour maso but you have to keep in mind that in live poker you could not have an advantage like the internet gives you, because poker from the beginning has always been the classic method.

Until all casinos and tourneys are conducted with 4 color decks, i'll continue to play with the standard 2. For no other reason than to keep my eyes and brain used to what I experience in live action. I did try the 4 color decks a decade or so back and agree that it's a nice feature, but it's potentially like a crutch that can trip you up if you're forced to do without it.

If everywhere moves to 4 color decks, i'll play with them no problem and probably like it better, just don't want to get used to something playing one way and miss it playing another.

I like playing with the four color deck. It gives me more clarity with what's going on at the table.
The toughest part of it for me is getting used to the blue diamond. Hearts have to be red so diamonds didn't get first choice did they?

4 colour deck is very easy to differentiate between suits. Especially, when multi-tabling online.

Hi Friend.

In my case it helps me because my monitor is a bit small and when I'm multi-tabling it helps me distinguish.

Its More convenient and less tiring when multi tabling to have 4 coloured deck option.

In on line games is ok but on live games is only one table and you are watching reactions, even one color may do it!:deal:

a 4 color deck just seems weird to me, I can't get used to it. I guess I'd rather squint if it's a small screen.

It took a while but now I really like the four colored deck! :) When you play two or more tables, it is easy to make a mistake, so four colors really help. But I think, that it is ok to keep the two colors in live poker although I would be curious to see and to play with a four colored deck in real life.

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?


I like RGB colors 😀

I am all for It. My mind needs all the help I can get. I have trouble remembering cards unless I label them in my mind. I am always looking at my cards. Its not a tell I tell you. I just have a little memory. :confused:

The color of the deck does not matter because the important thing is the game against opponents.
