arrows Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 1. automatically playing a singlton makes little sense, since the tempo change significantly when it is turned on and you have singlton to play, hence may give out the information opps are not entitled for. The only cards should be played automatically are the cards of last trick. and I am surprised this is not implemented 2. I really hate the idea that reorder the cards after the auction. many times, I think I clicked the card I want to lead, but Alas, cards are rearranged, I make a stupid again :( I think it is only make sense to automatically reorder the cards of dummy...

nickf Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 2. I really hate the idea that reorder the cards after the auction. ... on similar vein, I've been told by someone that you can slot the opponent's cards? Is that true? I've never paid much attention to this but I wonder if anyone else has picked this up? nicksydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jillybean Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 ... on similar vein, I've been told by someone that you can slot the opponent's cards? Is that true? What does 'slot the opps cards" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does 'slot the opps cards" mean? Slotting the cards means that you can see how many cards are in each suit.A practice by some top players is to carefully watch from where their partner or their opponents are selecting the cards that they play so you can get an idea how many cards they have in their suits. There was one guy I knew who was notorious for this, so whenever I played him I either held my hand under the table or else had 7 suits.

Dwingo Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Thanks Ron for your clarification on similar vein, I've been told by someone that you can slot the opponent's cards? Is that true? How is this relevant in the Online context? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mink Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 1. ....

I suggested this long time ago, but Fred was afraid that some people might dislike losing control over their cards. I still believe this would be worth while implementing. And along with this, no ave- in a tourney if the round ended during last trick. Karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickf Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 How is this relevant in the Online context? sorry to be so vague. My acquaintance was referring to the ability to slot a BBO game. nicksydney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerardo Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 IIRC, the slotting problem existed (cards came from the relative position in the hand), but was fixed some time ago (now all cards come from the middle). About the rearranging, agree (maybe an option, you always see your suits in the same order). As a workaround, the alternative diagram way is fixed, and not reordered (Two ♠A button in bottom bar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
