Reluctance to play a lower ranking player

I play a number of games at GC. I find that the higher ranking players at Gin Rummy are highly reluctant to play someone with a lower ranking than they have. The players either kick a player out of the room or ignore the player. What is the point of playing if not to prove yourself good enough to play all players? I have been told by some that they don't want to risk there ranking... Most other players at Dominoes and Cribbage do not exhibit such behavior. Still I love playing Gin Rummy the most. Please Gin players lighten up and give all of us a chance.

I so totally agree. I'm not sure if the 'ranking' matters that much anyhow considering players are rewarded in accordance to what "place" their in. My ranking probably stays low because I play anyone that comes to my table... thats the challenge of the game. I would suggest if you are that worried about your "ranking" you create a private table and invite who you are willing to play and save the rest of us a lot of time-- thanks for the format to speak out---- dots
Thank you Dots!

I afraid we are "singing to choir", but I hope the word gets out and all the gin 'snobs' play at invite only tables. I too love the challenge of playing anyone who comes along, but I notice that most high rankers don't want to play. Just thought I would see if it was just me or if other noticed the snubs. annied

annie you might consider playing tourneys. there is a good mix of players of all rankings and we need more players. i know dotti plays a lot of tournaments and can tell you their is a wide range of players.
I agree with Birddogharve

I am relatively new to this site and think that Bird is right - the tournaments are friendly, there is a good ambience and banter inbetween games. Let the "SNOBS" just get on with it - they are the losers in the end - nobody will want to play them eventually. See you in the competitions soon. Regards LINDEKA

I tend to play with people that have a similar ranking to mine. If my ranking is high, I play with other high ranking players. If my ranking is low I tend to play with other low ranking players. I don't consider myself a loser or a snob. Afterall it's just a game and I play the way that I have the most fun. It would be unfair of me to call the low ranking people snobs because they only want to play high ranking people!

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
