skorchev Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 I just finished a TM. I played a board where opps bid to 5♣ and my partner DBL. (My cards were posted ♠QJxxx♥J10xx♦xx♣10x.) I bid pass and before the pass of the opp I tried to lead ♠Q, I clicked 2-3 times, and when the opp passed my cards replaced to ♣10x♥J10xx♠QJxxx♦xx and I led the ♣10. I tried to find some option to stop this replacing, but I didn't find such, so it will be great if you add such option.

barmar Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 If you switch from pictures of cards to hand diagrams, the suits are vertical and it doesn't put trumps on the left automatically. Click the button that looks like ♠A/<picture of a ♠A>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bid_em_up Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Of course, this option already exists in another form as well. Don't click on cards until the auction is completely over. ;) Seriously, I've had it happen to me as well, and led the wrong card due to the same reason. I stopped clicking on cards until the auction is finished, and the hand has rearranged itself. Problem solved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skorchev Posted July 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 Yeah, these two are clear (especially the second one ;)), but I meant some general solving of this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tola18 Posted July 9, 2007 Report Share Posted July 9, 2007 but I meant some general solving of this problem. Yeah. Like the shift and rearranging of the cards is made slowly, so you actually see it be done.Shift /rearranging of course whatever there is need to shift or not. So the little short ceremony (half second - one second) always happens before you can and do play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 It would be nice if there were a preference option for whether to rearrange the hand with trumps on the left. In f2f bridge this convention is generally only used for the dummy -- I don't think I've ever noticed players rearranging their hands after the auction. Of course, part of the reason for that is that another player might be able to see how many cards they move around and figure out their distribution, which isn't an issue in online bridge. But given this, I don't think anyone gets into the habit of expecting their hand to be arranged this way, and the rearrangement is just confusing. BTW, OKbridge has an option to arrange the hand into alternating colors; intuitively, this seems like a good way to avoid confusing adjacent suits when you have a void.I tried this once and quickly turned it off -- when you played the last card of a suit, the hand would suddenly rearrange itself.
