I have only one badge left in my 2012 book and it's this darn shot the moon heart badge.
I've tried forever to get it and just can't. I've read all kinds of topics on it and I'm just not getting it.
Is there a dummies version to it that someone can suggest?
Thanks
what I did was set the auto for it and walk away for about 12 hours. Came back and had it.

You can do it pretty easily if you double browse. Even better if you get four total players.
If you ask in the Help With Badges/Challenges, people like me can get it for you pretty quickly. However, you would need 25 posts before you can send a private message. (Never put screen name or password in open text)
The way to set up the table best is as follows:
CHECK Hearts cannot be lead until Hearts are broken
CHECK Queen of Spades breaks Hearts
uncheck Hearts or the Queen of Spades can be played on first trick
CHECK Display points taken by each player
uncheck Taking Jack of Diamonds is worth -10 points
your choice Game over score
Customize your table
CHECK End round early (TRAM)
CHECK Make Table Private
Advanced Options
Player with 2 of Clubs leads the first trick
uncheck Taking zero tricks in a hand is worth -5 points
your choice can shoot the sun
Do Nothing if a player scores exactly the game over score
Do Nothing if a player scores exactly half the game over score
Passing CHECK Across only.
You (Moon) and your dummy partner sit across the table from each other.
Dummy passes Ace of Hearts, Queen of Spades, Ace of Spades every time they have those
Dummy passes high cards, Hearts and Spades more than Diamonds and Clubs.
Dummy passes cards that give the Moon lots of cards in strong suits (suits the Moon already has)
Moon tries to pass low cards
Moon tries to pass a suit with 1-2 cards (like clubs or diamonds) that is not the Ace. This makes them "void" in a suit.
Moon tries to have A-K-Q-J in Hearts, plus at least one of the following spades (A-K-Q), with nothing but boss cards in all suits (highest cards)
Moon passes all hearts below their run of A-K-Q-J (wherever it stops) unless they have 6 or more hearts.
Once the three cards have been trade by Dummy and Moon, the Moon should figure out which card or cards they have to get rid of first. Those would be the cards that will not win a trick.
Moon Hand example (after passing cards)
Clubs 2,A,K Diamonds K, 10 Spades A, K,J,7 Hearts A-K-Q-J
10 Diamonds and 7 spades are bad cards. Get rid of them as soon as possible (first trick in those suits) 2 of clubs would lead off. Usually better for dummy to have that card.
example 2
Clubs A,K,Q,J,9,6 Diamonds K Spades A,Q,J,10,7,4 Hearts NONE
low spades and clubs are not as bad, since you are void Hearts. Play the A Clubs first trick, lead K Diamonds. If someone plays A Diamonds, then win back the lead. Play cards from high to low, playing spades last.
It takes 3-10 hands to get a hand you can take all the point cards (Q of Spades, all Hearts), since the Pogo bots will try to stop you. I can do it within 15 minutes when I double browse.
