I use it online, where it is available, just for clarity as my new laptop's screen resolution makes all sites very small. Spades and clubs can only be distinguished by squinting most of the time (and I have good eyesight).
As far as the WPT part of the question, I think it would make the broadcast better FOR THE VIEWERS for the same reasons I use it online. The PLAYERS, however, would be put in the awkward (I think) position of making a huge adjustmwnt in their games. |

Yeah, ive never really seen a point to it either. Until my eyes start going and I cant make out the suits, I'll stay with the traditonal style.
and maybe a grammer check here? as well as the next poll question... |

Unless I had serious sight problems I can't see ever using the 4 color deck option. I really hope they don't start manipulating anything at the WSOP to appease the viewing audience, keep it the way poker's always been, don't change it because of a suddenly huge TV viewing audience. Either way is it really that hard at all to see the suits of the cards with the graphic of every players hand that all the stations have in the corner of the screen?

Depends on the size of your TV and how far across the room you are sitting fom it.
I think it would be a VERY big thing to change the actual card colors for such events (you try to tell Doyle Brunson that clubs are going to be green from now on  ) but, there is really no reason ESPN or Travel Channel can't show the cards in different colors for the TV audience only, if that is what they want to do.

Exactly. How about a grammar check?

Totally confuses me. Nope, I don't like the 4 color deck option.

I've been trying it more recently and still can't get used to it. For some reason that bright blue diamond really throws me off.

Don't use it, don't think it's a good idea to put it in the WPT or WSOP either. If you can't tell whether a spade is a spade or a club is a club, you should be spending money on laser surgery instead of playing poker. However....
would it ever give the commentating team some new one line zingers.
