@thinkingpoker Would you consider exploring the game of Gin Rummy on the cast? Serious studies of the game don't seem to exist. (While not a poker variant or betting game, it's potentially a rich source of concepts adjacent to / overlapping with game theory of poker)

@NateMeyvis I too am interested, though I don't think I'll bring much to the table. I'm only 90% certain I know the rules. But with the right guest...
It's pretty much all luck, and to the extent it's not, poker skill determines results much more than gin experience does. Let's gamble at it a bit to prepare to discuss it on the air.

Strong hustle there Nate. "Ah it's all random anyway. Let's play for money."

This is great. IMO, Gin is more theoretically interesting that actually enjoyable to play. But what a hustler’s game. It has the magical quality of appearing to be mostly luck, even after repeatedly playing. (I suck, but my dad was pretty good).

It's keeping my attention plenty well these days. It does benefit a *lot* interest-wise when you're gambling at it (and I have a lot of Trumbull nostalgia here). But the same could be said for poker...

Over a week at the beach when i was in high school I once won more than $100 from my dad playing a nickel a point. At the time my biggest score. And oh so satisfying. I think I gave most of it back over the second week.
