It is really ***** irritating to have the cards shift around when I am on opening lead and lead a completely different suit than I intended. If you are going to do that you need to insert a 10 or 15 second pause after you move the cards to prevent me from leading something different than I intended :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Instead of picture cards, use hand diagram instead. The cards do not shift around in that format. If you love picture cards, if if looks like you will be on lead, switch late in teh auction and then switch back after you lead. I "see" the unseen hands in hand diagram mode anyway (it helds compartmentalize shape, etc), so looking at hand diagram is normalish for me anyway.

Thanks. I'll try the hand diagram, it may also help me to visualize and remember the hands.

I'll use hand diagram when fred agrees that's insane to use 10 instead of T in hand diagrams.
