A useful video, but I would disagree with several points that are made. At 2:22 there is a suggestion that a good strategy would be to pick up a card from the discard pile if it can be added to an existing run. At this point, the presenter points to the 10, Jack and Queen of Spades. If I was holding the presenter's cards, then I wouldn't pick up the 9 of Spades from the discard pile, as the three high spades already complete a valid run. You need cards that will help you to meld your remaining cards, so from this point of view, a 9 of Spades won't help. If, however, you only had one deadwood card in hand, then it would be a good idea to pick up the 9 of Clubs, as you could then meld all your cards and have one deadwood card to discard. At 6:53, the presenter discards the 6 of Clubs. However, if I was holding these cards then I would discard the Ace of Diamonds. The 6 of Clubs could be used with the 5 of Clubs if you later obtained another 5 or the 4 of Clubs or the 7 of Clubs, whereas you would need two more cards to make use of the Ace of Diamonds. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticising the presenter, but I'm outlining other options to consider. I try to think of the probabilities of obtaining cards that you need. For example, if you had the 4 of Hearts, 6 of Hearts, 8 of Clubs and 9 of Clubs in hand but needed to discard one of them, you might think that you're two thirds of the way to completing two runs (which you are). However, there is only one card that will complete the run of Hearts (you're missing the 5 of Hearts), but there are two cards that could complete your run of Clubs (either the 7 or the 10 of Clubs), so you're twice as likely to get a card to complete this run. I would therefore discard the higher value Heart card.
Thanks for the video. In my experience a hand lasts on the average off 7 turns per player. I would never hang on to high value cards for 10 turns. But maybe you mean 10 turns including both players (5+5), in case I might agree with you.
Question, people i play with allow multiple to be picked up from the discard, with the idea that you have to play the furthest card down the discard pile (if it is an ace on top of a seven, followed by a two on the bottom, you may pick up all 3, as long as you can use the 2 to complete a run or a 3 of a kind on that turn) is this true?
When playing Gin Rummy on iPad, sometimes the dealer cheats and I took the loss on this quick game. Maybe the dealer does peaked under the cards to prevent the player, like myself suffered a painful loss.
Wait! Yu through the 6 clubs and kept the king hearts when the 6 would have both lowered your deadwood core and possible would have helped the 5 clubs in a run!
Youre playing it wrong. On the first move you should throw away the King and not the 6 of clubs because King is higher and its worse deadwood. The 6 of clubs could be usefull, although unlikely, if another 5 came and you use the 5 of clubs to make sequence
Why would you discard the six of clubs and keep the king of hearts in deadwood?? The king is worth ten points against you if your opponent knocks. The six of clubs is worth six points.
Undercutting the opponent is worth 25 points, not 10. Also, going Gin is 25 points. To undercut you need to have equal or less deadwood than your opponent
There are a lot of different variations for bonus points. we play 20 for gin and 15 for undercutting (we say back-dooring). Here's a question for you, do you play that you can rummage through the entire discard pile to see what had been played previously if you want?

Thank you for the simple explanation and great tips to win! I hadn't played in many years. Now I'm ready to play!😀
Have fun!

Great video. I seem to get a lot of hands that have almost nothing to work with. Very frustrating.

Good luck!

Now I have to wait for a day in school were we are allowed to bring games 😫
Wait.. I'm 2 minutes in. Why aren't we trading 10 deadwood for the 2 of diamonds when we have the ace of diamonds?
LMAO now I'm 4:30 in, and you're recommending the exact opposite of what you recommended before. What kind of video is this?
Hi my name is
Your first point is without error. But at 4:30, my guy is showing a different strategy based on the other player’s deck
this box deck?

Is it 25 points plus their deadwood
@@bloodbatteries4797 Yep, sorry, I didn't mention that and I should've. Thanks very much mate
@@TixtheGoAnimator is undercutting 25 points plus their deadwood...I know going gin is 25 points plus their deadwood...
