Indian Rummy is a card game that involves a lot of skill, calculative decisions and mathematical reasoning. It is a game that requires decision making and adaptation to various situations. It is a draw and discard game where, ‘no right move is always a right move’, rather it's about understanding when it is right to change the pattern you are playing with, and making sure you are using high level of reasoning.
As per most professionals, most complications which are faced by a player during a game are mostly caused on the basis of how one plans to proceed with the card they are dealt with, thence below are few points which will help you in understanding and handling those challenges and colossal confrontations better. We have mentioned challenges that you might face in online rummy and the best solution for them.
Challenge- Arrangement of cards - one of the biggest mistake people do while playing rummy is, not arranging their cards in proper manner and if we listen to some of the most successful professionals in the field, arranging cards in wrong format can actually turn some easy wins into embarrassing falls.
Solution- Being first challenge in the list, most players think there is some hard and fast rule related to the same, whereas all one has to do is make sure they are arranging their cards in a proper manner with either increasing face value or descending, and most importantly make sure you are arranging them in ‘black-red-black-red’ manner or the opposite. So that player doesn't get confused while forming sets or sequences.
Challenge- Set or Sequence – While completing your Indian rummy game, player may face a dilemma where they have to decide between making a set or sequence. This decision between a set or a sequence can play a major role in determining the final winner.
While some are known to be in favor of sets, there are people who always prefer sequences, and they have a quite reasonable reason for the same as well, which is when you opt for sequence over set you actually increase your chance of winning. Further, always choose a sequence if a pure sequence is needed to validate your game. Sets should be preferred in cases of small numbers. For example if you have a set of 4’s, then it is advisable to make a set. Because even if someone declares and your sequences haven’t been made, the set of 4’s will not weigh heavy on your points.
Another example can be- consider you have 8♦ 8♣ 6♠ 7♠ in your total of 13 cards and the next you opened is 8♠, now if you go with set of 8♦ 8♣ 8♠ you might stop your opponent from making two possible sequences, but you are also reducing your chances of a better sequence and an easy win, which is quite possible if you get 5♠ or 9♠ next on the decks. In short, rummy is a game of probability and it's better you keep all your options open for the next card in the deck.
Challenge- Understanding discarded section - One feature which is great about online rummy is that you can easily check which all cards you and your opponents have discarded in the past, as once you start paying attention, you can actually decrease the chances of making mistakes and make sure your opponent is not benefiting from your discarded cards.
Solution- In case you are still finding it hard to understand, all you have to do is just keep an idea about the cards your opponents are discarding and picking from the discarded pile (just a slight idea, you don't have to memorize it), in case you find yourself a little confused you can always take help from game history mentioned on your screen and can improvise your game strategies accordingly.
Challenge- Groups to avoid - it's not that, we are trying to suggest that, you should avoid certain cards, it's just that there are a few groups you should try and avoid as there are very less chances you’ll be successful with them. In clearer words, what we are trying to suggest here is, it's always better to go for those sequences where you are not limited with the selection of cards, for example with A♠ 2♠ only 3♠ would be the card you would look for.
Solution- Thence, as we have mentioned above rummy is a game of probability and a player should always make sure that they are keeping more options open with them, which means always go with the groups which have at least two outs to form sequences.
Challenge- Ace’s are better or joker – This is another dilemma that every rummy player is faced with always. No doubt many over here will opt for joker, but alas, here are still few who might wish to go with an ace as the same can help in making sequences in two different manners.
Solution- A player must understand that Rummy is all about decreasing your loss from the state itself, which means getting rid of the card which can push you towards the heavy penalty if you lose and if we can understand the facts right Ace, King, Queen and Jacks all are of 10 points each, thence its always better to get rid of them in them in the very start itself.
Moreover, jokers are the real Ace in this game only if you can use them wisely. They can play the role of any card you want, thus once you are done with your pure sequences, start using a joker in arranging other set and sequences. And most important of all, in case you lose, the joker can help you in minimizing you penalty as well, hence use wisely and win well.
Now, that we have served you with the information which can help you in avoiding some of the most threatening situations of rummy, we truly wish to see you in the winning corner.
