On yahoo, we are ahead 9-6. Their deal. I have no trump if the upcard is picked. I don't recall the rest of my hand, but I don't think I could call anything...
... our ... upcard ... I ... 3rd ... the ... about ... was ... How did your partner trump a heart lead on the second trick if he held the Jh? I'm just sooooo...
... I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but I strongly recommend you make the tables "protected," not "private." This will allow others to join the...
Hi Joe, ... If I were in 3rd I'd be quite happy I had a P who knew what he was doing. ... Yep, but had you passed, 1st would've called clubs and scored, making...
You are correct about the table being protected and not private. I was going to do that, but had a brain spasm when I typed that. However, we have cancelled...
"Ordering at the bridge" IS foolproof: You live to play another hand, with the lead and the deal, no matter what. What is not foolproof is winning the game...

Hi Jewellee, ... "relatively new to euchre"? All evidence to the contrary. Good eye. What you said is true enough, but 2nd has more than one good reason to...
Hi Rob, I disagree. To review, here's Joe's situation up to 2nd's decision: "So it's 9-8 us and my deal. Now I hold 9Tc, TKs, Kd and the upcard is Qs. I of...
I'm setting a new date. Friday, May 7th at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Gerry, please put it on the calendar. Social Lounge 20. I will not accept RSVP's this ...
We discussed this a short while ago when I mentioned that throwing off rather than trumping in with the right is a good move. When I see a p do that I pray he...
Ok, I've jumped into the fray, so I guess I'd better be prepared to defend myself. I can think of three reasons not to play the R on trick 2, although I do...

Although I think there are valid reasons for hitting with the R, you've all convinced me it's probably not the best play here. To me, this is a special case of...
Well, the other factor: 1st leads the Ac round 1. 1st leads the Qc round 2. Now I am euchred. Period. A). 2nd plays the R and 3rd cashes LA both. B). 2nd...
Hi Joe, ... Yes. Note the implication of case B. Since 3rd needs to cash only one of LA, he needs only one of them in his hand. And since he's behind the R,...
... euchred ... +1.5 ... Hi Joe, I just wanted to say that I think 3 loners from 1st chair in the span of 20 hands is considerably above average. I just ran...
Cashing 3 loners may be high. However, given that I had 7 loner attempts by 1st, I don't think it's that far off. Also that 1st having a J in 18 hands of 20...
... I agree that cashing 3 loners out of 7 attempts is not unreasonable, but the fact that 1st HAD 7 attempts at a loner in only 20 hands, IMO, is well above...
Natty, I thought the point of donating at 9-7 is getting your deal at 9-9 with a 60% win rate. So my passing at 9-8 us gives them their deal at 9-9 (for the...
The POINT of donating at 9 to 7, or at any other score, is to pre-empt a loner by the opposition. Getting the deal at 9 to 9 with a 60% (or whatever it is)...

Nice guess, but that does not suggest what the dealer MEANT by undertrumping (i.e., what was he SAYING?) . . ....
