I needed to test for something I am working on, so I decided to analyze a Missouri Loner. I never heard of the term till reading an article on this site. I...
Very interesting, and congratualations on making the first post of the year on Euchre Science. But why bother to report the successes and failures of a...
Question: Why bother to report the successes and failures of a "Missouri loner" at scores including 8 and 9 points for the maker? Answer: To have a complete...
17 other euchreheads have subscribed since you did. You're part of the landscape and not a new kid anymore. Your next loner is on me. Congratulations! Gerry...
Assumption: Rule 1 You are playing STD (dealer must bid in 2nd round) Rule 2 You are playing "player must have trump in his hand to call trump". Question: What...
You've a already turned down the up card, which was the proposed trump in the first round of bidding, for Rule 2, assuming you did not have suit to pick up or...
The rule seems fairly straight forward. Any player must have a trump in his hand to call trump. Dealer is a player, therefore, he must have a trump in his...
sure this is a good poll, and sure you would be shot, but there are scenarios, rare, but they do occur, where u need to go alone, so your partner doesnt end up...
A few days ago I went alone on 8 in Mystic. I was told "We do not do that in Mystic." I said, "I don't care what you do in Mystic, taking my p along with my...
... Understood. But we were talking about going alone without either bower. Show us a scenario, please, in which it makes sense to call a "MISSOURI loner" at...
on my own program i use to project probability i have come up with a number close to 63% at the highest with the deal at 9-9, and 61 at the lowest, which is...
The following EuchreScience poll is now closed. Here are the final results: POLL QUESTION: The Question: Dealer has [JH] [TD] [9D] AC KC. Score is 4-4. 9S was...

It seems reasonable, for analysis, to combine the king of clubs votes with the ace of clubs votes and the ten of diamonds vote with the nine of diamonds votes....
in the example hand.. with spades turned down why would the 1st seat be stupid enough to lead turn down anyway even if it is the ace. 1st seat shud have led...
I did address the thought that 'good' players play differently when the score was 9-9 in an email to Natty that was not sent to the 'euchre science' group. I...
I guess I am the 'ten of diamonds people' seeing I choose the 10D and no one else did. If someone choice the 9D, I don't have a strong argument against that...
... I have a copy of that e-mail, dated Dec. 30, 2005. It reported 63.5 per cent, to be precise. I replied to Sword the same date asking if he wished to...
Playing "from the top" makes sense in signaling a king, and when "false carding" opponents (e.g., promoting a queen with a king); but it does not necessarily...
Yes, playing the 10D leaves your partner wondering where the 9D. But to be fair, lets compare the information of playing the 9D and 10D using my convention of...
I answer all emails I get (especially from attractive, rich women). It is possible you sent it to the wrong person. It is possible I misplaced it. It is...
RE: Your comment, "Partner already knew that. He PLAYED the queen of diamonds." Agreed.... I pointed out that in this specific scenerio I could not see an...
Clearly there was an error in arithmetic (not in logic) in my column: 13 per cent times 39 per cent is, indeed, a lot closer to 5 per cent than it is to 16 per...
I took the partner-turns-bower, 2-trump, all-aces, down 7-2 scenario myself to the Euchre Lab; and here's what I got in 15 hands: Going alone: 7 marches = 7-6...
I took the partner-turns-bower, 2-trump(AK), all-aces, down 7-2 scenario myself to the MY Lab; and here's what I got in 100 hands: Going alone: 33 marches 65...
