Canasta Masta Not Working/Winning/NEVER DISCARDS BLACK THREES???

[Bpman]

:( Is there certain settings that you need to use when running Canasta Masta - like Java VM Jit Compiler, Sun Java, Certain Screen Resolution Settings , Edge Smoothing, etc or certain CM setting like slow, super slow etc Also the program will NEVER EVER discard black threes I mean IT WILL GIVE THE OTHER PLAYER A CANASTA INSTEAD OF DISCARDING THEM? I just bought the program and it just seems to well loose all the time. Please help. Thank You I AM RUNNING WINDOWS XP

If it is playing, then the auto is working.  You have to deal with the hand that Pogo gave you.  If it isn't a winnable hand then you aren't going to win.  Post your computer specs and let's see what you have.

You should have the following settings for best performance.

Color    32 or 24 bit
Resolution 1024 X 768
Java   MSVM
Smooth Fonts off

These settings might make the auto faster, but not smarter. Especially if you are playing against human partners.

"beer o'clock?" Is that when the big hand is on the Amstel Light?  I like it when we set our clocks forward one hour a(foamy)head in the spring.

Well I wait until the big hand is on the Pilsner and the little hand is on the Half-Weizen.

I guess that would be Beer thirty...
