i am on a loosing streak!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5720) 4 years ago

hello all of my good friends here at Mylot!

ok, i have about had it. lol. i am on a loosing streak in playing Canasta with my brother. last night we played Canasta again, and i was ahead the entire game right up to the last hand, then on the last hand my brother threw his cards and went out on me! grrr. lol surrender

i have lost about the last four or five card games that we have played now. so, what that tells me is i need to "have a plan of action" the next time that we play cards and see if i can win the game!

so, what do you-all think a good plan of action would be in the next Canasta game?

thanks for sharing and have a wonderful afternoon.

I have never played canasta to be honest, I love card games but have never been taught how to play canasta, is it a bit like whist or bridge my friend? Cards are like luck you can be winning lots of hands then suddenly the cards start to go bad on you! I believe that you can win and you will turn the game around, just patience and determination. Good luck my friend

Join Pogo, and I will teach how ot play canasta, its easy to learn how to play

All you really have to do is try to keep your opponents from gettin points while making sets of 7 cards in a suite.

2 and jokers are wild, and you use those to make non natural canastas....

Find me on Club Pogo I can give you a week pass and then teach you how to play.

Mooch

Your plan of action would be to cheat..lol Tell your brother that someone who is not playing with the two of you should shuffle the cards and deal them. It might break your losing streak.

I am so sorry, I would think that you would need to plan this strategy similar to how you play with bots in Canasta on intermediate or higher levels.

Or play partners....

Are you playing with 2 decks? or are you playing iwth mor ethan 2 decks.

Strategy is always good so hopefully next time you get some really good strategy

OH... that sometimes happens to me when I"m playing with my friend from Portugal :)
I might be wining big time one day and then suddenly it looks that no matter what my strategy is I always end up loosing.
TO be fair, I play pretty much without a plan most of the time. I was once told that I don't take the games seriously enough, but I figure if I have to take something to seriously it's not a game anymore, and all I want is to have fun playing, not earn a wage playing :)
ANyway, I'm sure that by now you are winning again already , aren't you ? :):)
