committed by even the professional rummy players
and can be avoided easily if kept under check.

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.
• Dont 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 isnt 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
• Everyones 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 isnt 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

  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.
