Hello! I've noticed you posted a few times about your struggles with Canasta, and I would like to express my sympathy for the difficulties you are experiencing.
From my experience as a Pogo Player myself, the game of Canasta fundamentally operates on a win or lose basis. Regrettably, there are no measures that can be taken at this time regarding enhancing our chances at winning at Canasta. However, feedback is always welcome!
When playing Canasta, it is important to recognize that whatever suits you may be missing in your hand, your opponent probably has them, i.e. only have one Queen in your hand, it is likely that your opponent holds multiple Queens. Refrain from discarding these until the time is right and don't hesitate to freeze the pile. On occasion when playing the bot, I will discard the same suits as they do and pull the pile when it reaches 11-20.
Good News 😊 There is an avid Pogo Player who post videos online named TheRJY Pogo, he has posted videos online of playing Canasta and most of the Pogo games. In one of his videos, he stated that he plays 4 player games instead of 2, because he always loses when plays 2 players. So, you are not alone in the stumbling block! Don't forget we also have the option of playing with other players as well to avoid the bot.
Pogo Gem Loss
I have not heard of any updates concerning those of us who experienced additional gems being deducted from our accounts during the "Gem Reward Error." The EA Community Manager, EA_Illium, shared a post regarding this matter, which includes further instructions for players:
