Four colour decks and live poker

[TightEnd]

I note on the EPT Malta stream that a four colour deck is in use (a trial, i think)



something you'd like to see generally, or not, or just wouldn't care?

the psblog talks about it https://www.pokerstars.com/en/blog/tournaments/ept/2015/ept12-malta-trialling-the-four-colour-de-158758.shtml

[DMorgan]

I know a couple of online PLO regs that don't use 4 colour deck, was like mind=blown

Would be a great change imo

[Rexas]

i thought the blues and greens could do with being a bit bolder in colour, they were too light imo, but maybe it was just not being used to it.

I can understand it for the dual screen, twenty table, 8-game wizards, but live poker is one table and fairly easy to follow.

If anyone reads that and thinks "Well I like to sit at the table and play three cash games on my laptop and it's confusing to go from one table to another and clubs are a different colour", I can't help but think you're missing out on what live poker is about - why not sit at home, save yourself the expense of travelling and play an extra few tables in your dressing gown?

It doesn't matter what any of the people on this thread like though- I thought they tried it and fish don't like it, and it's what the fish want that matter.

We dont get dressed up when we play online!

It is a trial.  If it goes well they continue, if badly they abandon.

I don't think Tal's point is right, some people are always going to struggle to see suits live even if only 1 tabling.  I think I am well on my way to that stage. If it makes it easier for those with less than perfect eye sight I am all for it.

Surely I can't be the only one that's done that live?

if only they could make the suits different shapes.......

Is there anything up with the EPT stream?

I can hear the commentators, but the page seems corrupted, no matter what browser I use.

is fine for me

i did have a problem last ept though with the stream that stars could not rectify.  It did sort itself out eventually.
