In our club we have a player who deliberately slows his play when he is able to knock. Other players paid very little attention to this move until I advised my partner to hold his play each time this individual hesitated to discard. At first, I was unpopular for having my partner hold his play, because other players felt this was unnecessary. Now, most of the club members see the value of keeping play moving on an even basis; and when this individual hesitates and his opponent advises his partner to hold play, he invariably knocks the hand. It has made a large difference in the outcome of the game.

  Another point that I feel should be observed in partnership gin is when one partner has completed his hand, and he wishes to observe his partner's play, he should stand only behind his partner and not try to see what his partner's opponent holds in his hand. I will give u advice that be attentive while playing gin rummy.There could be cheating. However, just normal reactions to a play may give out information.

 If you are undercut in a tournament of partnershipgin, there is “good possibility that you would have lost the hand, when your opponent made gin, because he evidently had a good enough hand to play for gin.

  A good example of this comes to mind in a game I recently played in a Texas Casino. I held kings, three queens, three sevens and an ace. I decided to play for gin because our opponents had a small lead in the game. I could have knocked and won a few points; however, my opponent ginned and won gin plus one point.

  My partner had been playing his hand to knock, but now changed his strategy and decided to play for gin or undercut to overcome my loss. He could have knocked and won a few points, but because of my error, his opponent ginned, and he lost four points plus gin since he was holding the ace of spades, ace of hearts, and deuce of diamonds. Had I knocked, he would have knocked, and we would have scored points.

  As a result of my poor play, we not only lost 55 points, but also 18 boxes, the three we would have won and the 15 we would not have lost as a result of the double gin. This taught me a valuable rule when behind in points in a game. Being aware of the score is of extreme importance in partnershipgin. If the game is not in jeopardy, your primary thought is to win back the points your partner might have lost. If the loss of points is great, then your objective is to sacrifice the hand and try to knock to save any further loss and reduce the number of points lost by your partner.
