@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)

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...

Did people play Gin at Trumbull? I never did, and, unlike Yahtzee I have no memory of it there. You *can* play for just fun—my wife and I play once a while—but it’s much more like poker than Bridge in the need for stakes.. Where are you playing? What are you reading?

I did a few times (huge hourly!) while waiting for more poker players to come. No idea whether others did the same. I’m playing just against the computer or on a Zynga app; I don’t see anything better. Not reading anything (suggestions?).
