Voids

To insure that a hand will have a void in one or two suits, type 0 (zero) or v. This is necessary if you are filling in some or all of a hand with randomly dealt cards, but you want a void. For example, if you want a hand to have 5 spades with the ace and queen and 3 spot cards, a void in hearts, and the remaining 8 cards random, deal the hand AQxxx in spades and a void in hearts. Then complete the rest of the hand by pressing the Finish Dealing button.

Removing Cards from a Hand

Use the <BackSpace> key to return the most recently dealt card to the “deck.” Successively pressing <BackSpace> will continue to remove the dealt cards. You may also click a card to return it to the deck or you may drag it with your mouse and drop it on the “deck” or on another hand.
