pino ranks and browsing 4 times?

[lucky9999]

Someone ask if there was a fast way to double browse to get the pinchole rank badges and someone replied that it could be done on one computer. 
Is there somewhere to find out how to do that or is there someone willing to help me with getting the rank in this game or willing to do so for me.

I have been reading the forum for awhile now and am registered, but never knew how to post.  I would appreciate any help anyone has to offer in getting the ranks up in this game
thank you

The best and fastest way is for you to run 4 browsers, whether that be 4 on one computer or two on two computers is up to you and your finances.  I ran 4 on three computers but that was long ago.

It really helps to have a knack for the numbers to make it fast.  If you have trouble making change it will take you a long time.   :/// :///  It also helps to understand the game of pinochle, nothing worse than helping someone make ratings in a game, when they don't have a clue about how to play.

For you to make ratings, you should have a partner with a low rate, that will make your average rate lower and you will get more points for your wins.  Starting at 1500 or so, start a couple stooge accounts that you and your dummy partner will beat to rack up a lot of rating points.  That's fine till around 1700, then if you haven't started playing against your formar partner you will have to start.  I used a total of 8 accounts.  At some point, you get to where you need to beat someone with a high rating.  Start those accounts and work two of them to 1700 or so, then set about beating them with your account, use a partner that has the lowest rating you can find.

By playing all four hands you can quickly see the contract that needs to be made for you to win, sometimes the best contract is for the stooges to overbid and lose.  If two or three people are helping you you will have to chat to figure that out and it takes a lot longer.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I do know how to play pinchole, and have had my rating up but got knocked back down as I know happens to all of us or I should say could happen to all of us.
My question was how do you play it with 4 on one computer.  I understand double browsing and I do have dummy accounts, is there a way to have 4 browers on one computer, or how is it done on one computer?
Thank you again for your reply I do appreciate it.

Do a Google search for 'Smart Explorer'.  (Should be about the sixth entry.)  I think the latest version is 6.1.  This is a nifty little browser that allows you to have four windows open at the same time in pino.  That's how I got my master badge.  In fact, I've had six browsers open in texas hold 'em poker with no problem.

Highly recommended!  O0

I have been playing for the rated badges double browsing on two computers.  I have the advanced badge and am half way to Expert.  A good tip is to change partners as your opposition goes down in rank and your partner goes up.  Try to play with the lowest ranked player particularily as you get higher up the ranks.  It is very time consuming.  I have played twice for most of the five days of each guest pass to get where I am. Well ,sigh, back to pinochle.  I can guarantee when I get Master rank I will never play it again.

I was wondering by doing this method does the points go up fast or is by 2 or 3?   I did notice that it goes up by 2 or 3.  Got the accounts all on a 30 day pass and a good thing for a lap top. The only thing is it kinda weird  is switching back and forth. Also by putting the higher rank person (ex. me 1600 and 1500 and opponite  1600  and the other 1500) will it also get up faster?? Just trying to figure the best method. Now that I have the next year off from work I have a lot of time to spend on this and other games that I need to max out on. 

If anyone else has any suggestion on how to get this done in a timely matter (yes it's very time consuming lol) please share. I would really like to get these rating badges out of the way.
Thanks
