Pool rummy — 101 & 201 formats

Pool rummy eliminates players who cross a points threshold (101 or 201). Last player standing wins the pool — pace is different from points rummy.

101 vs 201 pool

In 101 pool you drop out at 101 points; 201 pool allows more room but longer sessions. Entry fee and split rules are shown in the lobby.

Drop strategy

First drop and middle drop penalties exist — sometimes better than playing a hopeless hand and crossing the cap.

Bankroll

Pool tables can run long. Bring enough buy-ins for re-entries if the format allows.
