Tom, what were you short of? If it's flushes, that matches my theory that the casino practice of shining spotlights at the screens creates eye fatigue and the first thing the tired eye misses is the distinction between suits. A four color deck would help but don't count on the casinos adopting that any time soon. Polarized glasses can help as well as putting small sticky notes on the screen to deflect the spotlight glare. I probably don't need to point out that as we age our eyes lose their youthful abilities. You might also try experimenting with the computer trainer software of your choice, see what happens to your error rate when you shine a high intensity spotlight at the screen. Frank claims he's working on trainer software that will model the distractions of the real casino environment.
