How do card players (rummy, bridge, canasta, etc.) remember what cards are gone?

The only “useful” thing to read about it online is the memory technique of creating mental images of each card and placing them into locations/memory palaces.

While I know it’s s useful technique, I sincerely doubt that the classic ol’ school guys do that.

The cards played are not random. It makes sense in the game. So when someone play a card you instantly analyse why they played exactly this card and also what follow up cards would make sense to play. And if a different card is played you also notice this. So good players are able to use all this information, their analysis and short term memory, to replay all the cards that were played in their heads. It all makes sense and tells a full story to them.
