When done correctly, bluffing can be a potent weapon in any rummy player's toolbox, but it ultimately takes practice and intuition to be successful. Discarding may seem simple innew all rummy rummy, but it has a big impact on how the game turns out. A smart discarding strategy takes into account both which cards are no longer useful & how those discards might impact opponents' hands. An opponent's progress toward victory can be accelerated by a thoughtless discard that unintentionally gives them the precise card they need to finish a meld.
