Re: Daily and Weekly Contests: 50 hands
Just my 2 cents. I prefer the 100 hands.

100 hands only takes a few minutes and is a better test of VP skills. Besides can't you quit at fifty any time you want and still have your score posted?

It is easier to get in a quick few hands when you have a minute. But it is just over so quickly

For those who say the winner of a 100 hands game showed more skill than a 50 hand game, go look at all the winners of all the games. Most are dealt Aces or Royals. It takes luck to win. The monthly is no exception. All of last year I got 3 Royals in the monthly contest. They were all in one month so I would up in 5th place that month. No other royals since. I had a lucky month.I agree that Webman does an awesome job on this site. And I thank him for that. Here is my request: I'm fine with the 50 hands because I don't have all day to play like some people. BUT if you go back to 100 hands it has to be ALL games, including, ta da.....Multi-Strike. Else it isn't fair. Thank you.

I like the 50 hands too. Seems easier if I don't have as much time. I agree wholeheartedly that Webman does an awesome job. I play a lot and have never run into a problem. Thank you Webman.

I agree with everything you said except for the part about Multi-Strike. If you hit on the first line half of the time (free rides included) you end up playing at least 100 hands. 50 hands on Multi-Strike usually take me just as long as 100 on another game.
