I've played with 4 colour since it became an option. It's the first setting I change in any poker room I play in.
I think they should do it in televised live games. It might not be traditional, but it works better on TV. Online you get less time to act and may be playing multiple tables at the same time so it's a big help.
I would like to see it be tried on TV poker programming, to see if it makes a difference. I'm thinking that it may be more costly to produce 4 colored decks of cards because of the ink, so I don't see it becoming something that is widely used. But online, totally agree with you.
I prefer to play with a 4 color deck as when playing at multiple tables it makes it easier to give a quick glance and know if I should call / fold / or raise.
Just my thought
Good luck all at the tables

100% in agreement.
As above, as soon as I realized 4 colors was an option I switched and have never reverted back to two.
In fact I also like to tone everything down when I can from a graphic sense, so background and felt, the backs of cards etc. are all shades of grey and black. Then the cards really pop off the screen.
Good point about toning down the colors of the felt and background. It's something I haven't really given a lot of thought to, but I am going to try that and see if the colors pop even more.
I wonder if the 4 colors affect anybody that is color blind. I'm thinking that the colors were probably chosen with that in mind as there are a lot of people who are color blind. I am not, so I don't know what impact there would be, if any.
