Findings

What we found

Compare the winning condition

Indian Rummy starts with 13 cards and a valid declaration typically needs at least 2 sequences. In Texas Hold’em, each player gets 2 private cards and chooses a best 5-card hand from the private cards and 5 shared cards.

Read one result both ways

7♠–8♠–9♠ is a pure Rummy sequence. In Hold’em it is only part of a potential hand. A poker straight needs 5 consecutive ranks.
