rummy skills

• You might be wondering what kind of skills are
  required and what quick decisions players have to
  make when they indulge in this pastime. For this,
  we need to know a bit about the game and its
  rules. Rummy rules are very simple and can be
  kept in mind very easily.
• Rummy is a card game in which each player gets 13
  cards that have to be formed into valid sequences
  and/or sets. To exemplify, 2?, 3?, 4? is a
  sequence or run and 2? , 2?, 2? is a set. Joker
  cards that can be used as substitutes for any
  card, add charm to the game.

Rummy Strategies

• A combination formed without the use of joker is
  considered pure, while the one made with the
  help of joker is impure. Two runs, one of which
  must be pure, are mandatory. The task is achieved
  by picking and dropping cards. The player who
  accomplishes the goal first wins the game. The
  aim itself is not a hard nut to crack, but to hit
  the bulls eye in the minimum number of turns is
  not all that easy. Herein lies the gist of the
  matter.

Those who would like to excel at the game should
possess a number of key skills such as

• Knowledge of mathematical concepts of
  permutations, combinations and probability, for
  the game requires their practical implementation
• A calculative approach to constantly speculate
  how many turns you as also your opponents might
  require to declare and win
• Focus, so that you dont get distracted from your
  aim and never become complacent or lose hope
• Watchful to keep an eye on the moves of other
  players to guess where they stand and not
  inadvertently drop the cards they might need,
  thereby simplifying their task
• Patience to think wisely i.e. pondering over the
  possible outcomes of your steps before actually
  going ahead with them
• The ability to act fast for you have only a
  limited time at your disposal
• A good memory to keep a track of all the cards -
  those picked and dropped by others, as also those
  that might be there in the closed pile
