At rummy tables, one doesn’t know about the opponent’s cards. Hence the excitement and the unpredictability factor tests one’s temperament. In both the game the skill is challenged to the highest level. At the rummy tables, the player has to read on the opponents to break through the barriers. It is almost similar to the one in cricket.
