         “Rummy Skills”
 Online rummy can be a lot of fun and a great way to be rewarded and de-stress 
after an utterly hectic day. 
 Rummy is all about melding the cards in the right way 
while you use your skills and strategies.
 However, a few strategy loopholes and mistakes in the game can prove to be a 
major disappointment for you and bring your party crashing down.
Here are some common mistakes that are easily committed by even the professional 
rummy players and can be avoided easily if kept under check.
1. Overconfidence and No Patience:
There is no dissenting from the fact that confidence is the key to stay in the 
throne but if you raise your confidence, level to an extent when you see your 
opponent as the noobs then you will surely lose the game.
1. Overconfidence and No Patience:
When it comes to rummy game, being cautious is the first and foremost 
precaution that you can take for winning. 
Never head to high stakes table with minimal exposure and play at your level.
Going for rash decisions in rummy can prove to be the biggest follies so far in 
rummy. 
Don’t make any sudden decision and think of three steps ahead before taking 
one step if you are playing rummy. 
Be patient enough, calculate the outcomes and then plan your strategies 
accordingly.
2. Being Extra Social and going Easy on the Opponents:
A lot of people flimflam in the chat feature in online rummy. 
Though the chat feature is profoundly encouraged in the rummy for a more 
interactive experience some players get an extra carried away way too much, get 
distracted and lose the game.
3. Failure to Drop out:
If luck isn’t in your favor and your hand cards are hopelessly undesirable, then 
there is no point in persisting the game. 
Try to drop out the game early to 
avoid the embarrassment of losing with high points.
4. Pure Sequence:
If the 13 cards are distributed, the first set that is advisable to make is sure life or 
pure sequence. 
Beginners often forget to make a pure sequence first and so get a full count when 
the opponent declares the game. 
Try to decrease the chance of getting a higher score by forming pure life first.
5. Jokers, High Point Cards and Middle Cards:
 Everyone’s heart pumps with excitement when they get a joker among their 13 cards. 
 Cut-jokers can act as wild cards and form the pre sequence. Therefore one 
should use the joker card tactfully to complete the set.
 Besides that, the high-point cards are also not discarded by the amateur players as they think that 
they will help them to make sequences easy. 
 But this isn’t the fact and the score should be minimum so the cards should be rejected.
 The middle cards, on the other hand, have a higher chance of making a set so that these are of 
higher value than the high point cards and so they need to be kept.
6. Negligence of Discard Pile:
Lastly, this is probably the biggest mistake that the players keep making 
continuously that causes them to lose the entire game. 
Before the players start building the castles of victory in the air, every player must 
keep a close eye on the discard pile.
Conclusion
 Make sure that if your opponent is picking up cards that you discard then you must be super 
cautious not to drop any card that s/he might pick up.
 Just be insightful about the cards that your opponent is holding, and you will win!
 It is human nature to be prone to mistakes and undoubtedly, rummy is no exception to it.
 If you do not want to fall for the mistakes and enjoy a more colorful and interactive 
experience with online rummy, then you can always be focused now because you know the 
weak points where you might fail.
