Re: Gin
Clearly the four card spread can be very important in gin. However, if you only have two (say an A and a 3) of the four four discards into the game and your opponent throws down a four, should you pick it up? The rest of your hand is very offensive, and you have a pretty safe discard, but are you better going to the stock here, as you are most of the time? The other parts of your hand are a meld and a triangle., a relatively safe discard and a wild card.
