Never liked spider solitaire, my longest streak was 3 games and it always seems to rely on luck too much; that makes your streak really impressive to me. My preference is freecell, my old laptop had a streak of 94% win rate after 2500 games with 219 being my longest streak. Had a number of 150ish streaks. That game is an amazing way to kill time in meetings.
It's NOT just Luck like it is the old fashioned Solitaire game.
I have a strategy and a few rules that I go by… that work 87% of the time. LOL
Freecell…
Never have been able to learn that game… I just spin my wheels doing nothing with that game…
... someday, I will have to try it again… I don't think this computer has it…
Joe ….........you need to go to the shop and eat some sawdust ….. NOW
from now on you are only entitled to be on the computer if you are online with L J ….
I do not play it much during the day… just once in awhile to take a break... BUT, I do not Terminate the Game in the computer (Notebook) (to force an end to the Winning streak) (I Hibernate)...
It's not as bad as it looks… LOL…
edit:
Dennis, I spend more time Reading All of my Email and catching up on ALL LumberJocks Watched items that have happened overnight… LOL
My game of choice is Free Cell. My longest winning streak is around 8-9 games and I seem to be stuck at 60% for a winning percentage. On two occasions, I've managed to win without moving a card to the top cells.
I couldn't believe you could win so many in a row until I saw you play just 1 suit. I play all suits, win about 1 out of ten; much easier said than done. very fun game. I prefer freecell as well, 76 is my hi streak so far but I tend to get lazy and play too fast.
