... Me, too. The only time I call trump with that hand is when my opponents have 9 points. And then I call diamonds, and lead it -- I thought. It's "next."...
Excellent question Rob, and all I can say is: "I don't know". I went back(to euchre lab)and tried 2 more 15 hand scenarios. the 1st was a gain of +5 for...
Hi Natty, ... Absolutely correct. On average, your team can be expected to take 2.5 tricks out of 5. All you need is that slight edge to give you the extra...
Hi Ron, ... Well, based on your results it appears not.... I originally favored calling clubs, which I still do, and then leading 9c, which I'm no longer...
Yes, this situation does come up a lot and I always seem to be at a loss as to how to play it. This discussion has greatly helped me because now I won't be ...
Hi Ace, ... Good point. ... If the odds are in your favor to score in clubs, there is no reason to pass clubs. ... Hmmm, I'm not sure I'm buying that. Spades...
Hi Ace, ... I think you must've meant something different when you said "the odds to score are in your favour if they make clubs." The odds to score do not...
Hi Ace, ... Let me rephrase that: I've always been a fan of naming (or not naming) trump based on the cards I DO have, instead of guessing at something my P...
This dialogue is getting quite wordy. What "disappearingace" is saying, in so many words (I think), is that in the long run you will make more points on the...
hi Natty, if your attemps at arbitration weren't so biased, i would let you have the last word on this, BUT, the passage by mr. gallagher that you quoted, IMO,...
Well -- not to degrade Tom Gallagher, whom I have never met and with whom I have never corresponded, and who is not here to assert the hyperbole I have...
Hi Ace, ... Of course you knew better than that. ;) ... I think I'll pretend I didn't read that. Surely you're not suggesting my odds of success are now...

Hi Ace, ... You must be looking at different results than I am. The results I see in message 3846 indicate something quite different. ... IF he gets to call...

... Not with just this poll but the discussion on the hand has degraded to other "situations" and have goten away from the orginal 0-0 discussion or shall I...
Hi Ace, ... "Too many euchres" really is the wrong way to look at it. Would you play a hand that scores 3 in 4 times? Now bear in mind that such a hand gives...
... Regretfully you failed to sense a blend of humour in my post. My last line in that segment of my reply -"LOL, pardon me Rob. I'm just trying to lighten...
Hi Ace, ... I saw the humor, and I didn't mean to dismiss it. But analytically, the presence of help in your P's hand is critical to your success. It's simply...
Hello all-- Does the concept of "next" still apply when the card not picked up by the dealer happens to be a jack? Recently, I have seen the following occur:...
... I'd say it applies especially so, because it's almost odds-on the dealer does not have the other J, and probably no side aces, either. The exception might...
The score is 8-5, your team ahead. (game is STD) The Jh has been turned up. You're in first seat and hold JA9d Ac As. Do you pass and risk a loner with a naked...
... and ... I would pass here. You have two reasonable stoppers and if they don't fly its 9-8 your deal. If he passes you have an easy diamonds call and...
Hi Nathan, ... I'm with Ed on this one. I'd pass, and if dealer goes alone, I'd lead the Ad. If it doesn't walk, it provides the best chance for an uppercut...
Hi Ace, ... Sure, but that's like saying water is wet. ... And that's pretty much the case here. You've got a good shot at two tricks, don't you agree? If...
I agree too. Pass. If loner call, lead Ad. My question: if dealer picks it up but keeps his P, then what do you lead? Get the trump out to make the aces...
Hi Joe, ... Yes, and yes, with the idea that a black ace has the best chance to walk. ... I'd lead long through the maker, which in this case means the Ad. ...
Hi Ace, ... Mark the date: 2/4/04. ;) ... Yes, it is more likely he'll have black. But the Ad lead is as much an attempt to promote my L as it is to take a...
