@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)

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?).

No idea on reading—I was hoping you’d tell me! I’ve only ever played at the kitchen table, and never for more than nickels. I’ve never looked into any systematic study materials. But yes, incredibly skillful, but also hard to discern the skill edge.

But, still, dad’s maxim looms large. Gin is only good as a hustle or if you only have one person who wants to play cards. https://twitter.com/mattglassman312/status/1212042131088519168?s=21 …https://twitter.com/MattGlassman312/status/1212042131088519168 …
