The cards are REALLY stacked against you in Ride The Tide

[Juniorverse]

O.k, So i finally reached rank 10 in Ride The Tide and I have noticed one BLATANTLY obvious thing.  The higher in rank you progress, the more the game is built for you to loose.  It took me twice as long for me to go from rank 9 to 10 than from rank 1-9 combined.  Now, I know that these games are built to be challenging, but I have played EVERY game on Pogo, and this game is by far the most unfair game yet.  Also, it appears to me that these "splits" are really the kiss of death.  Time and time again I have had 2, 3, 4, or more hands in "split" and lost EVERY one of them.  So, I finally just hit "stand" when the split came up, and I began to win most of them.
I got the first badge, but I won't be playing that farce ever again.
(Of course, I might let the auto play for me *wink*)

I agree with you, I'm up to rank 17 and I'm starting to find this game...well...stinky (to put it politely)  >:(

with the splits, i've tried to make sure i have a "no dealer draw" power up and play each hand safe. right before i hit stand on my last split i use the power up. its a garaunteed win for each hand you split, provided you at least make one correct guess.

I have noticed even at rank SEVEN that you start getting more K-A curses and 3-2 curses.  I played for almost an HOUR last night to get a JP spin, and I don't suck *that* bad.  LOL

I use that power-up at the same time as you. At least you are guaranteed a multiple win.

I use the power up cards it seems to work. Best one is no dealer draw card. Plus I play it safe take a 50/50 chance when I get 500 gold or 1k and 3x 2x cards, I get most wins. Working on getting to work 9 now.
