The poll question was taken from Fred Benjamin's new book, Euchre Strategies. Fred says the king of hearts (trump) is the correct lead. Fred did not cite any...

My mistake. Somehow in my reading of the question it looked like you had the Ace of clubs and another club. No matter, I'm sticking with my original vote. ...

I notice that stealing the deal is NOT illegal, however the trump cube seems to designate where the deal is and implies where it should go. It could serve as a...
These results would suggest that your strategy should be modified based on the people you are playing against. We've heard it argued here before that if you...

The default seed number is 1 so that's probably what you used. If you switch it (I think it goes to 999) you will get a different population of euchre hands...
