Help on VPW

#1

Am using the trial copy:

So is that why I get a funny pop up asking for site code , MID and
other thing? I click cancel and then it goes to the game.

How do I set it up to deal completely random. It sure is not intuitive
to me. From reading when others had asked about it, it did not sound
intuitive and now I does not seem intuitive. Sure can see why others
got extra good paybacks.

Bankroll is not intuitive either, but I have not tried the help section
yet.

Tried to find about the random deal using help, no find, wanted to
start playing with it so am asking here

Thanks in advance

I cannot find any instructions on using the bankroll calculator or
the risk of ruin calculator. Is that because I am using a trial copy?

Your funny pop up will count down the days you have left in your free
trial. When it gets to zero, you will no longer have access to the
software. If you want continued access, you'll need to buy it.

On any game, click on TRAINING STYLE --> LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY. If you
want it random, click on MIXED. I personally recommend using ADVANCED as
that will let you know how close you are to being good enough to play in
a casino.

  I don't think that comment was necessary. I did not want to know if I
am good enough to play in a casino. I wanted to know which was the
random mode.

The naming of this function is not very intuitive.

If I buy this product will it alway come up on JoB, if I play single
games. If so, that should be corrected to come up to last game played.

  I still cannot find any instructions for the use of the bankroll and
risk of ruin calculators. Is that because it is a trial subscription?

IMHO - I bought the program and I have switched all the games to
mixed and I find this program is not very good. There were a few
times the strategy was wrong on one game or another. I verified it
through WinPoker and Frugal Video Poker. I am not impressed with
VPW. Its nice to have to play different games, but I do not find it
to be worth it for anyone that really wants to practice before going
into a casino. Again, this is just my opinion. I'll stick with
Winpoker but my favorite is Frugal Video Poker. Its easier to use
and the strategy just is easier to understand for me. I really am
not so nitpicking as to care about a penny difference in an unusual
situation. However, both of those programs are well worth the money
and I think anyone can benefit having BOTH of them. PS.. I agree the
comment was totally unnecessary.

Answer to a couple of questions:

Strategy incorrect according to other software:
Check your "Play Against" option. It could be that you are playing
against "strategy" or against "perfect play" and the other software is
basing decisions on whatever you are not using. I have not checked
either method for correctness.

Coming up with the last game played:
Sure. Just save the session and the next time you launch the game it
will bring the last one you played up. If you do not want the Analyze
options retained, clear them before you exit the session, it will
still come back with that game.

I thought about the play part and checked that I was on perfect play
for all the programs involved. Then I did it again and reset the
play to strategy play for all 3 programs. VPW came up different than
FVP or Winpoker

I am not aware of any hands that, when analyzed, come up different in
terms of perfect play among the three programs. You are making a serious
accusation here. If you know of any such hands, please tell us the game
(including pay schedule), and all five cards that make up the hand. If
your accusation is correct, this is a situation that needs fixing
