Pinochle Gold – Pinochle Gold Review

Really bad. Obviously creator doesn't know pinochle unless he deliberately created a partner robot who is very dumb. Partner meld bids with nothing drops out after I pass but bids me up to the sky. Overbids and loses. The meld bidding is useless. I meld bid and partner passes consistently. Passing cards partner robot holds 20 point meld cards in trump losing a 160 double run in my hand extremely rarely passes a jack of trump. Very aggravating. Wouldn't play at all but laptop unavailable to play with humans in yahoo. Partner will hold jD qS for 4 points meld when D's or Spades called trump. Just really stupid playing. Trump called Pass trump!! Amen!! Still the same. Partner holds 4 pts jD qS I have 12 trump need Q for dbl run. Partner doesn't pass the queen to save 4 points Hand lost w/o playing a card. Creator if this game is very stupid. Doesn't know pinochle from Old Maid. Sorry I've wasted so much time with this game. Obviously creators can't fix meld bid problem or card passing mess either. Worst possible partner. Holds 15 pt run in trump avoiding possibility of 150 pt dbl run. Lose hand after hand for lack of partnership skills in meld bidding and card passing. That I win single handedly quite often is a miracle. I'm done. 12/27/2013 And the worst partner in the history of pinochle after many "improvements" still holds and then loses aces and still does not pass trump. Also and again partner knows NOTHING about meld bid Meld bids 20 has very consistently 6 or 8 pts and no playing hand Jump from 52 to 54 means 20 meld. No pinochle player EVER meld bids 10 pts ever. Except as 51 opener for aces which is not available in this game. Finally dumped this game. Creators don't know how to play. Got tired of watching robot partner play like a moron playing jacks on my tricks holding aces and playing points on opponents tricks. Loses at least 2 aces per hand. Can't understand why game programmed for opposition to know to play trump 10s when all aces out, to play points in partners tricks and to play aces but the robot partner if live player doesn't know this? And meld bid? Creators have NO CLUE! Bye. Thanks for all the aggravation. Supposed to be fun. NOT!!! Next "bug fixes"" After aces of trump have been played my robot partner ALWAYS loses 10 of trump by NOT playing it. Like the lone aces he always loses. And game is set to have partner play from the bottom on my tricks saving point cards for the opposition. You guy really have never played or have a crappy program. My $ is on ignorance. Newest improvement!! Not. Table bidding numbers barely visible. Every time I try to play a game or go back to game in progress I have to reset all settings and start over how ridiculous
