Isn’t it an obvious fact that every sport has a winner and a loser? As expected, the winner goes through various emotions from ecstasy to tears of joy. Similarly, the losers experience varying emotions ranging from being distraught, angry to a deep sense of disappointment which disenfranchises them from playing the sport again. Pragmatically speaking, we must strike a balance to control our emotions. We must be cautious not to over-celebrate when we win – At the same time we must not drown in a pool of misery for our loss. Winning and losing is a part of any sport. Rummy is no exception to it. It is important to treat game as a game
We have seen some players frustrated and leave the game altogether after a few losses. This is the primary reason we keep emphasizing our new registrants to spend enough time at the practice tables before heading to cash games.

Lethargic attitude or any complacency would instantly cost you the game. You must carefully follow your opponent’s moves at every instance and think twice before discarding/picking up a card
