Clearly, if you do not have the lead, you need 5 trump for a certain march. Otherwise an opponent can trump their partner's lead to your offsuit. Since 5...
Indeed i was very sceptical about this mystery sim from the time i heard about it. Bimbert's replies only confirmed my suspicions to be true. I still firmly...
Correction: A donate at 9-8 would mean u lose about 85% of the time so clearly its not on. I meant a donate at 9-6. ... loner ... J ... would ... play, ... ...
I got a little lost in all these messages and would like a condensed summary. Assuming a jack is up, in your estimation, what are the final odds that: You...
I should clarify that items 1, 2 and 3 assume the score is either 9-6 or 9-7. It souldn't matter which. On item 4, separate answers should be given for 9-6...
I didnt know if you wanted a specific person to answer this - but heres my analysis, my $.02 if you will. 1. This is determined by a number of conditions -...
Very true, and if you should be euchred at 9-8 then there is no deal at 9-9. In fact there is no 9-9. Which leads me to ask how accurate is the 78% win rate...
bauerpower, ... Judging by the content of your response, it is very apparent you misunderstood me when I addressed the limitations of my simulation. ... This...
... The first two premises are true, the third is not: no assumption regarding line of play was made at all (except for which card to discard). ... 20%, 22%,...
... Yes, it was calculated as you assume. Note that on more than one occasion I've stated 78% is generous because it does NOT take into account the possibility...
Rob said: Yes! And that's how I simulated it. Again, I simply looked at the cards in the hands. For EACH offsuit in the maker's hand, if EITHER opp held ANY...
Hi Gerry, ... I did not do that, and that is the limitation. But it's more than just the ace: 1) For EACH offsuit in maker's hand, if EITHER opp has a higher...

Ummm, im pretty sure i got you the frist time. Either that or i need some more of those remedial reading lessons. I think we are in agreement as to the...
Hi Gerry, ... Yes, they are equivalent. ... Good idea. But we have to define "unbeatable trump" here. Do we choose his lowest trump which is higher than any...
... Yes. ... Yes. ... Yes. ... Yes, although I wouldn't call #3 a problem per se, because the goal was to define "unstoppable" loners. From there we can...
Hi Rob, Good idea. But we have to define "unbeatable trump" here. Do we choose his lowest trump which is higher than any of 3rd's? Or do we choose his...
ok we agree on a lot of things, and we agree that we disagree on one point. When i said rarely i was meaning yes i see it happen, but not as much as how many...
My previous post was regarding the specific hand that bimbert mentioned - 4 top trump with a 9 in off suit. (JJAK) hearts with a spade 9. It can also be...
bauerpower, ... I don't think so. I'm not sure where your 2/3, 1/2, and 1/2 came from, but here's how I see it. The loser must be in one of only two suits....
bauerpower, ... Yes, and that decision now has to be made with less information available. And it's usually the discards on the 3rd and 4th tricks that really...
Ok, i think yur misunderstanding me completely. Ill try to make it as simple as i possibly can. 1. the 2/3 refers to the prob of the losing suit not being led...
... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, well lets see. Let's state the obvious first. Just by looking at the word and the context it was used, it can only mean Clarification. Now...
