I don't play in tourneys, I am not a very good player and I know it. But this people that hold and hold till time runs out to make their play are beyond rude to me! Canasta I am told over and over is suppose to be a "gentlemens" game it is sure not played that way by the most of the peole that use this site!

Sorry that you have run into that PJMaker. Most of those that I play with are very quick to play. I look for games where the setting for play is low 30 secs or 1 min. Some of those that leave it at 5 Min have bad connections but some also play the way you are talking about.

How can you tell time set on tables? I can't tell till i'm at table and it's too late.

I take a look once I am in the room and before I press start. If they have too long of time I consider the person before I agree to start. If they have burned me before then they will not get a game.

Well I am glad I am not the only one that cant stand to be put on "hold". So many people do it and I am guessing they want you to leave the game so they will win. Well, 2 can play that game! If an opponant consistently makes me wait, I'll take a break when its my turn!It really makes the game boring, I've actually dosed off! LOL
'convenient' disconnections

Agree with you ellie. I understand those who have poor connections and am always happy to wait it out for them to reconnect, BUT there's also an increasing number of people who have been playing at speed, good network delay and then disconnect either when they are losing or have just lost a good pack. And strangely when the time is up they don't bother to reconnect to finish the game but when you go back to the main hall, well, there they are with a new table open!
So just keep smiling, enjoy the game, and make a note of the players who lack in courtesy.

PJ Maker I couldn't agree with you more. To be honest, I simply make a list of those players who do that to me when they lose, and then I just DO NOT play them any more. I REFUSE to be aggravated when playing canasta by RUDE PEOPLE who do what you described or discourteous players who make nasty comments when they lose. I love canasta and enjoy the competition--win or lose--as long as the other player is not rude or discourteous, and if the other player is, then I just put them on my "Don't Play" list, and I don't play them again. If I have to play one of those players in a tournament, then I simply "Disallow chat while playing."
I enjoy playing canasta too much to let a few "sour grapes" players ruin it for me!!!

Play canasta tournaments online
At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
