Does speed playing really help?

Does $25 mean $25 per credit, or $25 per hand?!

$25 per credit= $125 per hand

Thanks J. I would have posted sooner but I just woke up. Yes Eduardo, he plays higher than average denoms. As you might guess, he also gets mucho comps(RFB) shows and BB/CB. Stuffing that kind of dunkins in the till, can you imagine what kind of free play money he gets? Sheesh! Factor in the speed he plays and try to guesstimate amount of hands-per-hour while playing practically error free. Wow!

I can play speed with the best of them with minimum mistakes...Of course thats on a VP machine. But how do you speed play on a PC? I hold cards with my right hand and the mouse pointer and draw with my left hand/Enter key..... During the tourney, the fastest I did 200 was around 11 minutes......

I do the same except use the space bar to draw.

Its faster to hold cards with the number keys on the keypad to the right and draw with th enter button right there. Much slower using the mouse!

Boops, you're a clever girl! I wouldn't have thought to use the number pad. I tried it, the numbers didn't work but the"enter/return" button worked as deal/draw. Same as right clicking with a mouse but more ergonomic because its already in front of you. Left hand holds the cards and the right hand deals and draws! Now I need a VP.com mousepad to complete the picture!

Actually, with the site here and the games offered, you can "select cards" with the bottom row of keys on the keyboard "C V B N M".  I fiind those easier on the wrists than the number row at the top of the keyboard.

I use 12345 at the top and spacebar.
