Ah Gerry, With a hand as weak as this one, I would get rid of the 9C and hope the KD can win me a trick (about 12% of the time). With weak hands I like to...

A sign of a good euchre player is one who is euchred more often than most other players while going alone. (To be candid, it can also be the sign of a poor...

I like the analysis. But what worries me with this hand is that you risk taking a euchre at the dealer's spot. You've 'almost' conceded the game at that...

Interesting ... the simulator gets euchre (if score if 0-0) about 16% of the time which is 1 hand in 6. I guess that is a little over once a game. I know my...

From a mathematical standpoint you could make a case that the maximum aggressiveness will be getting euchred 1 hand in every 3 that you play. In this case,...

The player has enough (say JJAK, K offsuit), and stupidly neglects to play alone at a score begging for the loner (like down 6-2). Giving them 1 instead of 2...

I definitely agree. JJX or JAK, keep the AK. JKT or less, keep the AA. JKQ, I would keep the AK if off color. If the AK is next, I would keep the across A and...
