Default Stars cards display error/I am going blind and crazy

I've been playing on Stars for a couple of years now, and have been 8-12 tabling ever since they introduced resizable tables.

In all of that time I have never had a problem seeing the cards and/or determining their exact value. Also worth noting, I use the 4 color deck option.a

Now then, just in the past two weeks, on 3 occasions I have seemingly misread my hand in terms of what I thought I saw was not what ended up being my hole cards in the hand history. The funny thing is all 3 instances are eerily the same, so I think the problem is very likely an error on my part (either what I see, or how my brain processes it).

Each time I have had AK, and flopped 4 to a flush, and saw my hole cards as being AKs, then when I looked in the HH after the hand I saw it was actually AKo, but one of the cards was of the suit I thought both of them were.

I was not intoxicated or tired on any of these instances, nor have I ever previously had any vision problems of any kind with poker, video displays, or just in general.

Sorry for making such a stupid thread, but this has cost me a couple of large pots, and since the 3rd occurance (this morning), made me paranoid enough to start taking screenshots everytime my AKs flops a FD. If anyone else has questioned whether or not their eyes have played tricks on them with Stars recently, please let me know. Otherwise, mods feel free to delete this thread.

I can't stand the 4 colour deck (sounds a good idea but when I tried it I couldn't work out what I had). However, I do occassionally have the same problem but not always with only one particular set of hole cards - that is wierd.

It is just when multi-tabling quick glances can sometimes deceive. Very annoying but just paying greater attention is all I can suggest. Whether sub-consiously you want them to be suited so your have a brain fart I don't know.

Please don't tell me though that the post was meant to be a rigged theory and they give you suited connectors then take them away after the river. Please - that wasn't what you were suggesting was it?

You can change the 4 color deck in the Hypersimple theme back to the regular deck.

Assuming the OP isn't color-blind, I think the Hypersimple's default four-color cards are the way to go in order to spot suitedness.
