Hi Gerry, ... Absolutely. ... Maybe so, but the issue isn't just clubs, it's short-suitedness. Unless the maker is 4-suited (which is VERY unlikely), he either...
... I knew that would be coming. I'm implying that trump should *rarely* be led out on defense, not *never*. In particular, I think leading trump from a...
... The past tense (and passive voice) of the verb "lead" is "led" (even in England). http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EuchreScience/message/2038 in reply to ...
We're down 9-4. I'm sitting 1st; diamonds is turned down. I've got the usual crap, QTh As 10c Qd, but I call next in desperation. Trick 1: I lead the 10h,...
I was referring to #2. I don't think the clubs are as big of an issue as is finding a way to let the first chair take a trick. There's a chance the maker is...

... But in this "situation" as you so nicely put it. Leading trump is the right play. Leading trump in alot of "situation(s)" is the correct play but not...
... Well certainly the consensus here disagrees with you. ... It was the 9h, and again, I disagree that your line of play is the correct one. Assuming 2nd...
This situation is precisely when not to lead trump. All leading trump does is fill out the maker's holes for him and assure his contract, as well as turning...
Hi Rob, I'd be interested in knowing exactly how you define consensus. According to the American Heritage online dictionary, it's defined as: 1. An opinion or...
Hi Gerry, ... I guess I'd define it as the majority, but I wasn't trying to quibble over percentages. I didn't count votes from the poll, rather I was going...
I'm not generally in the habit of supressing someone's desire to say what's on their mind but I do occasionally neglect to turn up the volume on the PA system....
1) I think he's more likely to have 3 with the score 9-8. Calling thin from the 2nd chair where a euchre costs his team the game isn't smart risk management....
Ok. I concede. While I was reading your reply, I had an interesting thought. Let's say I played the 9 on the 1st trick and the dealer followed in clubs....
Thank you, "Ace." I was the pollster. Actually, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EuchreScience/message/2048 posed a legitimate question, albeit somewhat rashly,...
I think I would, especially after this discussion. If I have a second club, I know I would, since I'd either take the trick and lead the club back into your...
Hi Jed, ... C'mon, really?!? I think knowing what's in 3rd's hand, as we do here, is what's driving that answer. Try to expunge that knowledge from your...
If my ace of trump was a singleton, I would definately trump your ace diamonds lead. Reason: for maker to take this trick, he has to play a bower. If I had...
There's no doubt my response may be influenced by what we know regarding this situation; it can't be avoided. Nonetheless, it's this discussion that has made...
... To be honest, I haven't spent any time in the lab with this. In fact, I've been neglecting the lab for quite a while. I haven't been happy with it and...
I hate it when that happens. I'll watch for dealing irregularities while I'm testing the next release. Thanks for letting me know. Gerry disappearingace...
People are having trouble with the Euchre Laboratory? I am on dial-up, not broadband. I use Netscape, not Explorer (always have). I still use Netscape 4.78,...
Hi Jed, ... Well, certainly that's true. ... For a 2nd diamond trick. With a diamond void in your hand, your P's Ad has a fair chance to fly. And if he takes...
