@Dnt-Hld-Meld-1245 My biggest gripe is when so-called "expert" players call hearts or clubs and then they don't pass the appropriate diamonds & spades back. If a partner calls hearts or clubs, I will always retain the spade Q and the diamond J and pass Aces & trump.

@Karleen ,
Very logical thinking.
The person winning the bid and having the "Primary" hand should want to get rid of junk cards when it comes to trick play so why they hold on to a 4 point pino like you just mentioned when they called for hearts or clubs makes absolutely no sense. That 4 pts is the same in their hand or ours so why keep that non-power card junk?

Also, anyone who has been my partner in the past knows most times I try to build meld in the "Secondary" hand (my partner) too so passing a junk 4 pt pino may turn in to a 30 pointer for a double if they have a pino too!!!...haha.

Yeah, I'll pass kings, queens and jacks of some suits hoping to make 4 of a kinds in partners hands over just trying to strip myself of a suit sometimes. I send back extra trump cards to do that too...!!! Because most times it works especially for a KQ marriage all around in my partner's hand for 24 points...Boom!

Good luck, hooe we are partners soon.

P.S. I have asked @Josh to raise the values again to be able to play on what you aptly call "so called expert tables". It is nothing for a newbie player to get 200 rating and a Trend percent of higher than 44% to make it to the Expert Table to ruin our games till they become more experienced. I really think there should be three tiers if Josh is concerned we may alienate some Newbs if the bar is raised too fast or too high.

How about:
Beginner = 0 Rating, 0% Trend
Intermediate = 500 Rating, 50% Trend
Expert = 1000 Rating, 70% Trend

Our current challenge is volume of traffic as you may see regarding waiting times for any table now. We (you, I, and other good players) need to increase word of mouth and bringing in traffic BUT... after these changes plus others I have suggested are implemented...the site needs more exposure.

Thanks,

@Charles ,
Earlier this morning we were partners for a very short game...

First I want to complement you on an awesome Win-Loss Record and Rating. Yours is extremely similar to mine.

Also, I think we were instant great partners too. I added you to Friends list and hope you add me too.

How did you like us taking every trick for the 50 table points?...lol.

Sorry I quut game but I could not stay for TWO.....TWO Double Family Runs they were given in a row. I know you had no way of knowing but the first time they did it I only had one Club..the 10 of Clubs.

The second of tgeir double runs IN A ROW had me with NO CLUBS dealt to my hand.

Too odd of luck where they get two doubles because we were spanking them and Im only dealt three suits to give tgem their doubles so I quit that voodoo game...lol.

Best wishes and hope to see you again.
Hope you get this email to your registered email on file.

Thanks,
Mike Ox Big

@Gail
We were just ripped off of our win...LOL
Can you believe that???? You know, I know and they know that whole game was ours.
The only way those two could beat you and I is...I hate to say...thru some interesting cards I have been seeing lately. How about you?

I mean come on....
The bidder has a monster hand and his partner has a double pino?!?!? And THEN they take every single trick to hit 150 on the nose to steal OUR game.

Very creative deck along with three other games I quit this week that just happened to have everything match up for other team's passing and absolutely none for mine..

I guess Im not supposed to be winning so much since this downturn of consistent losing via horrendous deals and shuffles along with luck...good for them and bad for me doesnt fit my last 1000+ game pattern.

Sorry this happened to us.

You are a very good player and hope to see you...as my partner!...lol...soon again.
