3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, April 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: How To Win At Gin Rummy: Playing for Fun and Profit (Paperback)

I bought this book, largely based on reviews I had seen on the internet. I was very excited about the "computer studies."

I'm sorry to report that there are many elementary errors, and substandard probabilistic thinking, in this book. The author does present some useful information and some impressive looking charts. But when you delve into the actual material, it is flawed. Starting almost on the first page, there are serious mistakes.

And there are no computer simulations. No real data to back up (MHO) the author's somewhat dubious advice. I don't know what his (her?) Ph.D. is in, but I doubt it's in mathematics or game theory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, February 7, 2006

This review is from: How To Win At Gin Rummy: Playing for Fun and Profit (Paperback)

This book has a lot of statistical information in it. It is a lot better than most modern gin rummy books. Read this book plus Jacoby and Wander's books to get started on the right track in gin.

3.0 out of 5 stars basic to intermediate, June 25, 1998

wcredle@cstel.net (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How To Win At Gin Rummy: Playing for Fun and Profit (Paperback)

decent book for beginners and casual players, but not for the advanced playeer. Wish to author would play me for .25 cents a point... I'd retire to the Bahamas, rather than Florida
