Mid and Late Stages of Play
I hold a three card meld consisting of three aces, another three card meld of three sevens and a combination of the 10 of clubs, 10• of spades, jack of spades and an off eight of diamonds. My opponent discarded the king of spades after the sixth play which indicated he was breaking off a combination of either kings or the king and queen of spades. I promptly took the king of spades. This gave me two advantages. One, if he was indeed breaking off kings, my play may force him to hold one. H he was breaking off the king and queen of spades, he surely would believe that I made kings and discard the queen of spades, thinking it safe. This is exactly what happened. The vocabulary he used to describe my so-called "stupid" play is not printable. online gin rummy play often demands unusual strategy. For example, you have been put in a position to play strong defense. You have one meld of deuces, with a mixture of small cards, and a pair of sevens. Your opponent discards a seven of spades and there are only six or seven cardsleft in the pack. All the higher cards have been played or accounted for, so you know your opponent holds cards in your same area. Many players would take the seven and gamble one of the off cards. H you do, you usually will hear your opponent say "Gin." Another option would be to take the seven and come off your deuce of diamonds, which is your only safe play. All this accomplishes is lowering the count in your hand. Since, at this late stage, you are not going to win the hand anyway, and it is very doubtful that your opponent will chance a knock this late in the game, even if he is able ter knock, why not play serious defense? To do this, pass up the seven, draw from the pack and discard one of your sevens. When you decide to playa defensive hand to the end, do so seriously and not half-heartedly. You may find it necessary many times in late play to discard from your melds to prevent your Opponent from ginning .. For example, you have a meld of six, seven, eight and nine of clubs, another meld of three fives and a combination of the three of clubs, three of diamonds and deuce of diamonds. It is late in the game, and from previous play it is obvious you and your opponent are both playing in the same area. You draw the deuce of hearts. Many players will gamble by discarding the three of clubs or the deuce of hearts. Sometimes they will get away with the play, but most of the time this gamble will not payoff. The better play is to discard either the nine or six of clubs from your meld, whichever is the safe play. Gin in late play becomes very much a game of skill. Do not gamble unless you have absolutely no other choice. Another play evident in the late game is that of finding it necessary to discard melds in an effort to defend your hand. You hold three kings, three fives and the nine of spades, six of hearts, the three of diamonds and the deuce of clubs. You know that your opponent has " three nines, three sixes and surmise from previous play that he has a combination in the, lower area. You draw the three of clubs. In . this case you can not afford to discard any of your live cards, nor can you afford to add on either meld as he may already have this third meld which may possibly be deuces. Now keep in mind that this is in lilt play only http://www.ginrummy-online.net/ginrummy_archives/" title="online gin rummy">gin rummy you must break up one of your melds. I have seen players break off kings without thinking that there may still be a possibility of his opponent winning the hand. Provided that both melds are safe plays, discard the fives, simply because it is of lower count should your opponent hit that one chance that may be left in the deck. Much more information can be gained in late play by remembering previous discards, and more so by the fact that experienced players will never discard a wild card in the late stages of a game. They will look for clues that give them information that can make a difference in winning and losing. For example, I know that my opponent holds a meld of ace, two, three, and four of hearts. Suddenly he discards the ace of hearts, which is safe. I know that he has either gone into a defensive game or he has made a four card meld elsewhere. I hold the five of hearts, so I know his four card meld is no longer in this area.
