Canasta and red 3's

[joeyblow45634]

I was wondering, do you  get credit for your partners 3'S when you play in a with four people???  What i mean is say George, Jane, Tom and Frank play a for person game. Jane and frank are a team. Jane gets 2 red three's, would frank also get the credit for it also or would just Jane??
Thanks for the help.

You get credit for your partners Red 3's.  I used to play that way but I stopped when my partner (normally a bot) would never meld and I would go crazy seeing that.  I started doing 2 player and running 3-bagger and walked away and my sanity returned to a nice even mix.

Wise advice from a great Pogo player.  You are best playing a 2 player game and using the awesome auto, 3 bagger.

Thanks for the replys. I'm going to give it a try.
I'm trying to catch up on badges. My friend and I have a contest to see who can get the most badges. Right now I'm in the lead by one. But trying to get  the first Canasta badge, so was hoping to find the fastest way.

Good luck in your quest, as if your friend stands a chance against you, bah ha ha!

You get on with your badge grabbing self and show her who's boss.

Walk away.. do not watch! Stay away from your computer! I sweat every time I run that program watching it ditch every game, but hey, it's well worth it.

I could not agree more.  You come back and you see the red 3's you have acquired and it makes up for that bot beating you.  It is all about those red 3's.

Red 3's ia right.  I have got that last cansta badge your after and I didn't use an Auto so I say if you have a bet use it and collect them and win your money!!!
