Do you turn on 4 coloured decks when playing online? Why or why not?

Turning on 4-color cards can be beneficial online because you can really see the flush better and immediately, making it harder to overlook see.
However, if you play live poker afterwards, it will be unusual.
For me, this new 4-color version loses a bit of the value of the poker game tradition so I don’t even use it.
If I overlook a flush, I can only blame myself for not paying more attention there.

Yes I have it turned on all the time I love the blue diamonds and green clovers
and it never made me miss a flush on live either but thats just me a very focused individual.
Do what suits you best... no pun intended.

four color deck!!

no, I don’t use a four-color deck, because there are enough miracles in online poker already !!! and personally, it’s not familiar to me, it’s not convenient..

no, out of habit I play with the normal colors, although many times I have been wrong to confuse the suits, I consider that it is more in line with the live game

I tried including a 4 color deck, I didn't like it. I'm somehow used to playing 2 color cards, black and red.

I use it because it makes it easier to identify the flash...

Yes, I always do 4 color cards. I wish that was standard on real life decks as well.

I just turned on four coloured deck for the first time tonight. I think I liked it. It was easier to quickly spot flushes. My worry is that if I get too used to it I won’t be as sharp during live play.



I find the 4 colored cards to be incredibly annoying. But like most things I'm a bit of an old man coffee in that regard. Change is always scary I suppose. Visually I've just never been a fan of it. If you are so stuck to analyze a board that you need something color coded you are not paying enough attention to the board. Just my $0.02 but you do you boo boo

I should try to play like that somehow. But it seems to me that it will annoy me a lot, since I'm used to the classic look.

I'm not much for colors but I can see how it could make it easier at a glance..

Apparently I use this function because online most players play many tables.
In live poker you play 1 hand every ~2 minutes and you play only 1 table , you can't compare two totally different situations :)
Do whatever is easier for you and good luck!

I've seen it before and didn't care for it, to old school I guess. However I've seen some people say it helps them as far as not misreading flushes. I've done that. I'm kinda stubborn but may give it a shot.

Yes, I use the four colour deck. Mainly because I play with my glasses off. Too many times mistaking one card for another when under pressure playing multiple tables.

I always use a 4 color deck, I think it helps cut down on mistakes and increases my speed of play.

Yes, makes it easier to identify a possible flush draw. The pokerstars 4 colour deck is horrible tho.

Not for me, iv'e always grown up with 2 colour decks. Believe it or not, I actually find it more confusing with 4 colours.

I've always played with the classic deck, checkers are much more beautiful and aggressive.:)

I've always like to switch to the 4 color deck, it's way easier for the and much less confusing what is what.

Always use the four color deck when available. It is easier on my eyes and I have less chance of messing up on suits. Always check to see if it is an option.

multicolored decks

4 colored decks give remote viewers an advantage, ive found, over the 2. when the decks are 2 colors your mind calculates faster than when colored 4, and when their colored 4 quantum computing comes into effect and the net dials down on you. some would say the more the colors the better, but 2 colors work perfect for me. there are times i change it to 4, but that's when im running full tilt.
