Natty, I have never enjoyed one of your columns so much as your latest post regarding that pretty old euchre book. I guess you could call that little old...

It's Yahoo, and we're all 2200 or so. The score is 6 - 8, opps lead. I am dealing and the Jd is up. My holdings: JKc, Ks, 9Th. Am I supposed to pick up the...
You're "off the hook" on this one (pun intended). You don't have to pick up a jack when a euchre would end the game. You have the black suits stopped and...
We are starting a Sunday Progressive Euchre Tournament today at Pauleys. Starts at 6PM so try to be there by 5:30PM to sign up. We still play Partner Euchre...
... I agree. But I'm not sure I could pass this. If you do, the call is ripe for next, which is likely to score 1 or even 2. And even if it's only 1, you're...

The high rating of P would indicate that he/she knows enough to pass the upcard J when we have 6 points, even with two sure tricks. The question is, do I bank...
Hi Joe, ... That's just it -- you don't know. But in this, as with any call, the ramifications must be considered. You are not dodging the bullet if you pass....
... Thy partner's eternal faith -- if he is a Believer and has a lick -- is based upon thy opponents' score of 8 points, which shut off all conventions...
Hi Ace, ... Maybe with 2 SURE tricks. But he could certainly pass L9 + A, or L + A + A for example. I know I would (unless of course, I doubted my P's...
Hi Natty, ... I'd say the fear is not of getting euchred, but rather of losing the game. Is the alternative of passing much better than getting euchred? A...
Hi Ace, ... If someone goes alone with RLAK + Q, and the opponents stop it with the offsuit K, most would agree the loner failed. But was going alone a...
So now we finally get to the possibilities. Should 2nd trust 4th to pick this up in all situations at 8-6 (thereby avoiding having to order on L9t + A or L + A...
Hi Ace, ... 3 successful >= +3 points. 1 unsuccessful = -2 points. Net >= +1 point. ... Yes, of course. But let's not lose sight of the particular hand...
Hi Ace, ... I agree. ... It may be convention, but it's not BLIND convention. It's convention because it happens to score more points. And Joe covered this...
Hi Joe, ... I don't WANT to play it, but I do think it's a better alternative than passing. I just feel the chances my P passed with some help are greater...

With more respect than you deserve, you young whippersnapper, I am only 65. It occurred to me that someone out there might have relatives or friends or...
i dont know about playing to 5 pts.. but in Australia... 6 handed euchre is often played, probably more so than 4 handed. Its played by 2 teams consisting of 3...
You have posited a hypothesis, son, not a theory. We need more than a supposition for a theory; we need a little evidence. The Doughboys were spared trench...

No a 500 card pack has 11's 12's and 13's and 2 jokers.. each person is dealt 10 cards and you bid for suit.. so its not 500's its euchre. Same rules exactly...
