I just joined Pogo recently, and I find the Solitaire games fascinating, so much so that I found ever since I joined it, I have not earned as much at myLot. So are any of you like me that you are getting just as crazy about Pogo and stay there until you win a game and not do as much myLoting or can you just take it and leave it?

I spend most of my time on MyLot, but I love to play solitaire and I will have to look for some other free games.

I have to try some of the other games, but I am not good at shot em up or break out games. Right now it is just solitaire and hang man games. And I do spend most of my time on mylot.

Yes, indeed, I can spend hours in there. I stayed out for a while, except for challenge times, but now they've added reward badges to the ones I already have in Canasta, I've had to go back. It is terribly time confusing once you get caught up in it. I've gone from level 50 to 67 in two weeks. lol. Brightest Blessings, and Happy Pogoing!

Oh my, my keyboard's brain has gone on vacation! lol. That should be time *consuming, not confusing as I have written! Now I'm confused... blonde moment! ha ha ha

I haven't been but there's something addictive about Canasta for me, so when they added the extra reward rankings, I am unable to stop until I get them all. lol

I cannot spend hours in there, maybe an hour, and that is that. MyLot is much better.

I love Pogo, I mostly play at night before going to bed. If you want you can add me as a friend on pogo. I am grammasmagic on pogo. I only play the free games, I don't have a paid membership. Everynow and then they have a special you can be a trial member without using a credit card, I will do that. Even when I can play the member games I still usually play the free ones. My grandkids come over and like to play pogo too. I play Free cell solitaire a lot, you have to use your brain and you can win lots of tokens. I like to enter the drawings with my tokens. So far I haven't won anything, maybe someday.

I have not won anything either. I like all the solitaire games, but I find I have to use Internet Explorer to play on Pogo. Oh I added your name. My name is the same as it is here.

I play on Pogo often too. Usually this game called Stack 'em with barnyard animals you stack up in piles. LOL There are only 24 hours in a day no matter how you slice it so eventually something else is going to lose the time you spend on Pogo! Enjoy it! It's fun!

I tried that stackem game, but for some reason the Java does not work on my computer even though I have all the Java programs, so I decided to leave Pogo and concentrate on mylot. I might go back to it when I get a better computer and when I have more time. Besides I love writing more than I love games.

I used to try to play Pogo and work in Mylot also but I am on dial up and it made everything go so slow. I would also spend too much time playing the game and not enough work, LOL.

Wait until you get cable or dsl then you can do both at the same time.

Yes. I would love to have high speed internet. I can't wait until they ever get it in my area. They don't have anything available here yet. They just recently put in a cell phone tower. It is unreal because we live right off of the expressway.

I used to play on pogo a lot years ago, when I first heard of it. I didn't check out too many of the games, but really enjoyed the bingo games for a while, and my most favourite game is "Poppit!". I've never won on pogo, and rarely go there anymore now. But if I did, I would likely get re-addicted, and like you, it would interfere with my mylot time (which isn't all that much to begin with anymore anyways).

I stopped playing Pogo, because it interfered with myLot. I do love Poppit, but I do not want to go on Pogo anymore because I have not won anything and it is addicted. I love solitaire, especially the hard ones like Spider and I know if I got on Pogo,I would keep at it to the exclusion to anything else.

LOL - I'm not a member of pogo but I play Solitaire on my computer all the time and yes it does tend to interferr with other things whether it's myLot, working on web site, or as I should be doing now crochetting. Just one more game and I'll quit is a very common saying of mine.

I find it hard to quit, so I usually say three tries and that's it. It does seem to work.

Since I've been a member of pogo for 7yrs now, it no longer holds my interest like it used to. When they came out with Club Pogo, I was one of the first members to sign up for it and I really became a pogoholic but after being away from it for 4 months(had phone/internet shut off that long), I no longer am interested in pogo. Sure I'll go there every now and then but I no longer am held 'captive' there like I used to.

I have not been on Pogo for at least a month. My java does not work, so I cannot use it. I am saving for a Mac, but I doubt I will go back to it.

Yes I find I can earn more tolens in pogo then in my lot. I like both of them but I really enjoy pogo.

Actually myLot does not pay in tokens. You get paid in money. Also I think in pogo, you have to turn the tokens in for cash and it is more like prize money, so there is a good chance you may not win any. And the best winner gets the prize money not just the token winners.

Actually it does interfere with me posting on mylot because when I first joined pogo I got so addicted to it that it made me not come here at all for a few months. I was so addicted to some of the games that I pretty much spend all of my free time on there. But its not so bad now it was just for a couple of months lol and it will probally stop till I win a lot of money there which is my main goal.

I love solitaire, but now that my Java does not work, it gives me a good excuse not to go on Pogo. I am the type of person who plays until I win. So it is best that I keep off of Pogo for a while and concentrate on writing, I love myLot better.

I used to spend way too much time on Pogo and joined myLot just to help break away from it. The most I ever won on Pogo was a $5 spin. Every year they raised the Club Pogo membership too, so you wouldn't believe how many "badges" I had when I pulled the plug on the upgrade. Now I never go there any more. I play a few WorldWinner games from time to time and would hang out at King except it is banned in the state where we now are. Pogo used to be a lot better before they started selling all sorts of bling for the minis.

I just joined and I wish you did not have to play to pay Mahjong, I like complicated games.

Sometimes pogo can interfere with mylot. I have only been only active here for a few days so I haven't had much of a problem yet. When I'm going to have a problem is when a new game that I like comes out.

I have to decide when I play pogo and when I do myLotting. It is hard.

I can't tell you that it is or not i just joined here and i have been pogo member for years. There are some games that i just hate and can't stand. I have a friend on pogo that can do one game i can't. Most of the time I stay with one games until badge is won. But that Solitaire game I did not stay with it. Yes it makes me mad something also. that is when i stop and play something else. HAVE A GREAT DAY

I am good at solitaire, but it does get harder. I cannot understand how it goes to zero, when the cards end and the new deal starts up sometimes and not at others.
