Answer 2

Well, when you try to sit at a table and can't, you may see a little icon at the bottom of that window with a red circle and red line through it. Click on that icon and click on "temporarily allow pop-ups" or if you prefer "permanently allow pop-ups from this site". You should then be able to sit and play. Otherwise, go to Yahoo Games Help and type in "why is my game not loading", which will list several reasons and solutions to try.
