Hi all -
so I was just thinking while playuing the other day how there are some games I am really good at and win everytime and get a jackpot spin everytime I play it - and then...
well--there are the couple games that no matter how hard I try - I will NEVER get a jackpot spin ( without an AUTO that is) - I just don't understand the games at all - or can't play it with any degree of competence..
I am REALLY bad at TUrbo 21 - am lucky to get 3 or 4 21's before timer runs out
I am also REALLY bad at BLOOP - I don't think I will ever win a game of this on my own..
and don't get me started on Perfect Pair Solotaire - cannot win a hand to save my life -
Anyone else have a game that they just don't get at all??
Chad :)
all the games are easy to play for me. 8)
Turbo takes practice. I don't even look at the colums. I just know where to lay the cards from the pile to make 21's.......
without a doubt I do not understand Euchre
the only games that bother me, and that i hate looking at (haha) are:
Pinochle
Harvest Mania
Sweet Tooth
and
Squelchies
those games just annoy me. thankfully theres autos, so i dont have to bother with them that much O0 8)

For Turbo, always match up 9/2 8/3 7/4 6/5's since they make 11's and 10's come up all the time you should knock out a high score

and also, 6+7+8 = 21. I seem to get those numbers in order a lot when I played.

:-X hush your mouth ... lmao that would be too stupid for words eat 50,000 fireflies to get rank 30 :))
Turbo 21 & Euchre are my bugaboos.
Oh yeah, and that nasty golf game! ;::
Euchre is the >:D and Greenback Bayou is his brother!!
spades would be a pain for anyone who didnt finish before the glitch ended.

Pinochle! >:( lol ;D
I had never played Pinochle, Canasta, Euchre, or Spades before joining Pogo. I LOVE all those games. I've always been a big fan of card games and played a lot of Gin Rummy, Hearts, Rook, and Poker, but never any of the games above. I LOVE them all, now. I had also never played any of the classic games of cribbage, backgammon, or dominoes. I like backgammon, but cribbage and dominoes can both burn in hell for all I care. I played Turbo 21 on a video game at my local bar, so I'm good at that. I hate the stupid-ass games like Greenback Bayou and Sweet Tooth.
So, in a nutshell, I would say my favorite games are:
Pinochle
Canasta
Spades
Euchre
Gin
Turbo 21
Dice Derby
Penguin Blocks
My Least favorite games are:
Jigsaw Detective
Greenback Bayou
Word Jong
Cribbage
Dominoes
Gawd, I'm chatty today..
I just can't win a Tumble Bees game without an auto.
I had never played pinochle before I joined Pogo. I actually taught myself how to play but after I got my expert badge I got lazy and I just don't play anymore. I really like it tho. But I had forgotten about Cribbage :x I just don't get that game. . . .
I am baffled :o by Aces Up! I try to play and all i do is click every card until something happens I have read the how to play more then pnce and I don't get it.
I hate cribbage--have never quite understood that game, i cant get a spin in tumble bees to save my life as well as turbo 21. :(
Games I despise:
Hearts
Euchre
Payday Freecell (auto works awesome!)
Cribbage
I need the auto for 3 of um....
cribbage is easy and boring.
I hate cribbage, dominos, and chess.
i wish chess had game award badges. :)
Pinochle.. the game with the most badges, and the point of that game is???
wish i could figure it out.. that game makes me wanna puke.
:x
its actually a fun game to play at times.
Yes pinochle is fun but chess? Ewwwww :xx
if you are into chess it is fun to play. :P
Everytime I've seen a snippit on the news about some world chess championship thingy I always see little Bill Gates lookalikes and old men with beards playing. Chess is for nerds ;D ;)
lol there are plenty of non nerds ive seen play it too now. :pp
I start yelling at the computer when i play dice derby then that fool of a devil thing starts laughing at me and grrrrr.....
also hate greenback bayou makes me want to watch paint dry for entertainment
Favorite:
Canasta
Casino Island Blackjack
Jungle Gin

Least Favorite:
Aces Up

These are mainly Club Pogo games. I don't like many of the regular games... only time I play them is when I have to - challenges or rank badges.
I have done whackdown twice now (without an auto) love challenging my brain at 5 am :))

I typically don't use an auto for Word Whomp or WWW. I found some website that gives me all the words except for a few words - sud, goth... those are a couple of the words that can't be found on the site. Let me find the site.
You can go here:
http://www.scrabble.com and click the version on the left side and it'll lead you to the Scrabble dictionary where you have to type in the letters to get the words. It takes longer because you have to scroll more, but here's another site I found more useful because I can pull the Word Whomp screen over to the side and just type the words in... it's kinda scary how quick I can type doing Word Whomp.
http://www.puzzledepot.com/wordfinder2/scrabble.html and you type your letters in the "Rack Letters" at the top and it'll find 98% of the words all the time. O0
twice in a row? eek :ox
For word whomp try searching for a free program called anagram artist. Its easy to use and can be moved so you can see it and word whomp at the same time. It is not a pogo auto so maube it isn't detectable by pogo. You have to enter the words yourself and it doesn't always get every word but i like it the best. I suggest checking it out.
