 4 Color Deck, WhamBam, 30. Dec 2003 13:56 | ||
| View ( Message | Thread ) | Return to Thread List | |
| I am intrigued by the use of the 4 color deck. Flush draws are easily spotted, and its a easier to remember the suits of your hole cards. Its just one less thing to worry about IMHO. My only concern is that when I play my regular game, I may affect my board reading skills having relied on the "crutch" that is the 4 color deck Is this a concern for anybody else, and does anyone out there flip between the 2 & 4 color decks regularly? | ||

| Fairly new to UPF and i've seen "IMHO" used a lot, what does it mean/stand for. Thanks | ||

| Still don't know what you're talking about. Are there decks with more than red/black? Eli on 30. Dec 2003 13:56 WhamBam wrote: > I am intrigued by the use of the 4 color deck.

| Yes on-line play usually gives you the option to show each suit in a different color. | ||

Fortunately - with the cards larger - and with most casinos using cards which emphasize the suit - it didn't talke long to readjust... I AM hopeful that with the explosion of online play a few casinos may offer 4-color tables at the lower limit games... Mr. Caro - you ready to try that push again?? ;-) | ||

| I'll try to be the voice of tradition here and say, with all due respect, are you kidding? Is nothing sacred in a cardroom? And is it that difficult to tell the suits apart? I would be very pissed if a cardroom I frequented started using 4-color decks. Some things just ain't right. Eli on 31.

| After playing with a full four color deck I like it . I wish the steel and concrete cardrooms would use them too | ||

| I'm with KJo. Keep it the way it is. I tried that 4-color deck and to me it looked more confusing! Not that I ever thought that it was confusing before!! Oh well, different strokes for different folks. No big deal really. Flakes | ||

| I wasn't advocating using them at ALL the tables - just have an option at some tables... And as far as the person who asked was it so hard to tell the difference...no - it's not... But why stick to something old just in the name of "tradition" when a change can make a game better...I realize most people like things the old way - it's safe...but you can't tell me that a two color deck is EASIER to play with than a four-color one...especially in a game where the individual suits do matter... Does it take some time to get used to - yes - all things new do...but I wouldn't be unhappy if I NEVER had to play with a standard two color deck again... And if tradition is so good - perhaps we should go back to the suits found on the original playing cards (money - batons - chalices - and swords) - all in one color... Change...it CAN be a good thing... ;-) | ||

| I vote we resume using the suit of EAGLE that was introduced in the early days of american card playing. And introduce the 5 color deck. ~(:^P) | ||

| Funny, I've never once seen big number cards used in a real table poker room I've played in. I've only played in Reno, Nevada. DMJ | ||

| I love 4 color decks online and have no problem adjusting to 2 color decks in real life. B+M games are much slower so you have more time to take stuff in. Good times, ReMMy | ||
