get your next one in a casino the contests are won by folks who are playing 10+ hours per day 40+ hours total thats why the scores are sooooooo high two or 3 big dealt hands the winner makes about $10.00 per hour

Actually, I don't think any of the winners so far have been the mega-players who put in that much time. It certainly increases your chances.

Well, Webman. Back to playing non-contest games, and having the same problem. Occasionally, when I hit the 1-5 key to hold a card after the deal, it executes a draw immediately with no cards held. Is that new website coming soon ?

Thanks to billyjoe, I have been curious as to how to play VP with just the keyboard and you explained it for me. I'm sure it's on the site somewhere but I don't think it's very obvious. It sure is easier for me.
Thanks again.

Well, Webman. Back to playing non-contest games, and having the same problem. Now, it seems to be happening more frequently, maybe every 25 deals or so. When I hit the 1-5 key to hold a card after the deal, it executes a draw immediately with no cards held. PLEASE, is that new website coming soon ? In the meantime, I'm heading for Vegas in the AM.

Well, WebMan, I am sorry to report that the new website has NOT fixed the problem.   When I hit the 1-5 key to hold a card after the deal, it executes a draw immediately with no cards held. I have caught it happening several times now on the new website.
I am going on a cruise, so I wouldn't be around for a week. I am on IE8, Windows XP.

Bummer. When you get back I'll see if we can come up with a way to debug this.

I have been having the same problem as billyjoe on Ultimate X for the past 2 weeks. I've already tried your upgrade suggestions and no luck.
