Hi Gerry, ... The correct assumption, of course, depends on RHO's play on the 1st trick. Obviously, if RHO played the Ac, the assumption you just outlined is...
You know you're having a bad night when the score's 9-9 and you get dealt three 9s and two 10s. I just happend to me. I think I'll take my dog for a walk...
How bad it is depends a little on how you got there. My partner and I, too, were at 9 to 9; and we both got hands similar to yours. But we WERE UP 9 to 1 and ...
I found another posthumous precept from Aunt Gin last night, rummaging through her euchre papers: "Don't say, 'I sure saved your ass' to your partner, or even,...
There appears to be a new feature on Yahoo! that makes a table you have been booted from "private" to you. Anyone else notice? Recently every time I have...
I've been at tables where the host would boot anyone not over a certain minimum rating. Some obnoxious soul would continuously rejoin the table after repeated...
The problem with the new device on Yahoo! is that it prevents a host's readmitting someone he inadvertently booted -- or changing his mind when he realizes he...
Good points (You aren't, by any chance, a lawyer are you? ). Kinda makes me want to wade around in the sespool of the social lounge. I don't think I've ever...
What I want to know is, why do they not consult the intelligentsia? I mean to include in this college not only you and me, but also most of the members of...
Oh c'mon now. If the designers and managers always did the right thing, who would you and Scott Adams ridicule? I mean what kind of world would this be if...
Well to say he got the euchre by "Dumb luck" implies the person played very poorly and got very lucky on his objective, whatever it may be. That is just not...
... You can read it at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EuchreScience/files/Natty/2003/Natty_200 3_06_18.html Dumb Luck? No! The dealer picked up with only one...
Hi Ace, ... I think that was the point. The trump lead worked only because the dealer had only 2 trump, and then misplayed the hand. If I were in 1st in this...
I just finished a game (won, of course) where I accused our opponents of cheating through table talk. They denied it and my partner supported them, which...
... I agree it is table talk. There's no reason to discuss the hand at all until it is over. "There'll be time enough for whining, when the dealin's done." --...
What you said was fine and you were absolutely correct. It was table talk. Anytime they say," sorry p I have crap", or "sorry p its std". Thats table talk. ...
Any reference to the hand currently in play is, in one form or another, table talk. I usually ignore comments like "UGH", or "OH, NO!". But, these type of...
I usually get the situation where my partner (assigned "randomly") is euchre-challenged and proceeds to say "what lousy cards" and he is never bluffing. Guess...
Yes, it's "table talk"; but, guess what? It's the kind of table talk that helps the opponents as much as the disquisitor's partner -- maybe even more, since...
Natty Bumppo <borf@...> wrote: P.S. What does "(won, of course)" mean? Maybe it means he's insecure about posting to such an elitist group as this and...
Elitist?!? Suddenly I'm feeling insecure and I, well, never mind. I really really hope nobody feels insecure or intimidated about posting here. I've learned...
If you click the "Play Now" button, it doesn't happen. I usually click "Play Now" when I enter a lounge because, with the dinosaur I ride, it takes forever for...
I just have to share this: I just got done with a game on yahoo where one of my opponants called and after losing the first 4 tricks finally wins the last, and...
Another defect of the new Yahoo! "privacy" feature: You might not object to a player's being your opponent, but you do not want him or her for a partner. This...
