Lead the aces, save the crap. I've tried it both ways, and played with partners who play it both ways. The ace lead is unequivocably better. 1. Don't make me...
An eloquent explanation. I remain unconvinced, but out of curiosity I run 2 similar scenarios (300 hands each) to test it. (not an all encompassing test, but...
Just for completeness what did a 10H lead and a JH lead in both cases? Incidentally, it is a bit odd that there would be a scoring difference between the 2...
Sorry, I didn't have an ace, either. The queen of clubs was my highest card. I had a three-card suit, but -- talk about inviting the dealer to overtrump. But...
Well, more hands is always better. The program was halting at 400 hands because the program stops after 3,000 hands don't meet the search criteria and it is...
Since we are on the topic of aces, it was brought to my attention last night at our euchre tournament that a few of us have different opinions about aces. If...

When discarding a single ace to short-suit yourself, you need to consider what advantage short-suiting yourself gives you. It allows you to play your trump...
But Fred, You don't send me flowers anymore. -Jj ... curiosity I run 2 similar scenarios (300 hands each) to test it. (not an all encompassing test, but enough...
10h and it isn't even close. I see no advantage to short-suiting yourself here. So that if Your opponent leads the Kh, you can jump on it with the 10c?...
I can think of at least 1 example where I would discard a singleton Ace. I'm dealer and it passes around to 3rd seat who orders the 9h and elects to go alone....
Obviously this only applies when the orderer is in 3rd seat. When they order alone in 1st seat they will have the lead and so you would not throw away a...
You didn't say who made trump. Against a third seat loner, I would discard the next ace to create a void. Second seat should usually lead next against a third...
In the example I mentioned I said it was passed around to the 3rd seat who ordered alone. Also I don't know if I would say that having an extra trump is always...
Sorry Pimped, I was actually responding to Amy's post. I had not yet seen yours. It looks like several of us posted at the same time. Please pardon the ...
I would keep the ace. I don't know if the math works out but I think about 66% of the time your partner will be holding one of the other two aces (assuming...

1. My partner was the dealer with 9s up and we all passed. 2. Opponent in 1st seat made it clubs. 3. He led the Ah, we all followed suit. 4. He then led the Qd...
Agree, but there is pretty much no difference between the 10H or the QH so I'd dump the QH because it reminds me too much of an old girlfriend. ... -- ...

Assuming that the caller makes a habit of ordering up a king a trumping the first trick with a queen or lower. Only then does this become the best choice, imo....

The amazing thing about this hand was that there was only 1 possible way that he can score a point and countless ways that he could have been euchred My...
What must be considered, when the player in third chair orders to go alone, is that picking up gives you the only opportunity in euchre to create a void. ...
