Know the rules and have a strong basic foundation.

            Not only rummy but also any new thing you learn, you should know the rules and basic concepts. Knowing the rules and understanding of basic concepts is essential for rummy tournaments too. If you are a fresher, you should have a keen understanding of rules before entering any rummy tournament. Play practice games to improve your skills. Every tournament has a different format like seat allocation, rounds, points calculations, and prizes. Have clarity about the rules and basic concepts.

Form a pure sequence first and know Joker’s worth.

            Winning with a bad hand is possible. This can be done only with some smart strategies. One important trick is to form a pure sequence first. You need to have at least two sequences, out of which at least one has to be a pure sequence for a valid declaration. A pure sequence is mandatory for winning a hand, and it consists of three or more consecutive cards from the same suit. No sooner are the cards dealt than you should focus on forming a pure sequence. Use the Joker wisely. You can use the joker to replace missing cards to form sequences (not pure sequences) and sets and win the game.

Observe, but don’t be predictable.

            You have to keep track of your opponent’s moves, what they are discarding and picking. This will give you an idea about what card you should block till the end. Rummy is all about finishing first. If you form a pure sequence or reduce your points but end up helping your opponent, it is worthless. The opponent is also watching your moves just the way you are doing. Refraining them from seeing your discarded cards is impossible, but they should not know what cards you are picking. Avoid picking the cards discarded by your opponent, pick more from the hidden heap, and avoid the discarded heap.

Conclusion

            Following the above tips will help you a lot in a rummy tournament. You should know the basic rummy rules before playing tournaments. Practice well, and don’t directly jump into cash tournaments. Use your skills, calculate your opponent’s moves well, don’t let the opponent judge your game, use joker wisely, and so many other tips and tricks will make you outshine any tournament. Ace up your sleeves and join the rummy cash tournaments.
