The four colored deck

Online it's very top!

While online players benefit from four-color decks, live poker is rooted in tradition, making a full switch unlikely. However, offering it as an option in private games or experimental events could be interesting for those who find it helpful.

As many have noted it's not needed live, but quite useful online, especially if you have extra tables going .

I prefer a two-color deck - it's more natural and familiar to me: a four-color deck makes my eyes uncomfortable. Although, I remember a situation when I was minding my own business and playing at the same time. Flop 3 h cards, I see that I have A6h, I go all-in and lose...Looking closer, I realized that it was the ace of diamonds.😆

I don't think the color of the cover is important, that depends on taste and comfort.

I find a four colour deck easier to make out the card suits. Otherwise it can be confusing if two suits are of the same colour. Some sites don’t offer a 4 card colour deck, so that’s annoying.

4 color online without a doubt. No need to risk misreading a hand thinking that the river gave me the nut flush only to bet a get knocked out because I had nothing. Live isn't as much an issue as typically it's easier when only playing that one game.

I don't have a strong feeling either way. I am comfortable playing with either. That said, generally if given the option I will change the setting to 4-colour.

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?

For me personally, the four-colour deck has no advantages and only one big disadvantage. I'm not used to playing with such cards, so I'll just be distracted. I love the classic deck and don't accept other variants.
