I have had Frugal for almost a year and did not notice that! I feel like a
dope! I strongly agree that the game is well supported. I was one of the
players asking for 20-10-6-5 Joker two pair and they had a patch available
within days. I downloaded the super bonus deuces patch this week. The only
thing I would like is availability for three of a kinds to pay different
(as in Nevada Bonus or High Fives) but have not seen a playable version in
my area (Chicago.) I have seen the full pay version of High Fives in LV.

I'll add a little to your earlier comments. In addition to an
excellent selection of features for the novice to intermediate player,
FVP offers up analysis tools for the advanced player that are unsurpassed.But one feature has become a particular favorite of mine. As in
winpoker, there is a Computer Play mode that will allow you to have
the computer play through a game session of a specified number of
hands. The difference from winpoker here is that the sessions can be
viewed graphically, providing an incredibly dynamic visualization of
the volatility of a game.On occasion I've used it to provide a rough sense of what trip stake I
should take to the casino by running a number of trials for my
expected length of play and seeing where sessions largely bottom out.
It's particularly useful in approaching games for which I have only
limited experience.A huge mark on the plus side for FVP is the unsurpassed support that
Jim Wolf (designer) is providing on the FVP Yahoo! group forum. He's
demonstrated a level of responsiveness that provides some assurance
that the software will grow to meet users needs.All around, I'm pretty enthusiastic about FVP. (Although I'd dearly
love it if the graphics could be made to be a little sharper and more
closely resemble the real thing in the casino :).- Harry
