Answer 2

Always keep track of trump played and trump remaining and consider how the trump is most likely distributed. The following example should help you realize the value of this effort. You pick up the right bower and have queen and 10 trump in your hand. The offsuit you receive is a side ace and a side loser. The opponent to your left leads an ace that captures your loser (your partner had to follow also). Next he leads other offsuit that is not your ace, and your partner trumps it with the 9 of trump. At this point, most players would discard their ace and let there partner have the trick (you can't overtrump your partner..right?)..wrong!! You must overtrump your p and then lead your right bower. Lets look at why. First of all the trump you can see is right, queen, 10 (your hand)and 9 (p's hand) and the remaining trump is left, ace, king. If the left ace king are together in one of the opps hands then you are already euchred, so ignore this possibilty and remember > that player is a serious bagger...lol. But what if they are split up between all other players? After you overtrump your p and you lead the right, you will capture all remaining trump. Then your remaining cards (10 and side ace) are boss and the rest of the tricks are yours. But what if they are split between the 2 opps ..one has left and ace, and the other has the king. In this situation both of the opps will lose 1 trump when you lead the right bower after overtrumping your partner. You then will lead your side ace, and if it wins you have point. If the opp trumps it with his last trump, then your trump is good for the last trick and point is still yours. Now lets consider what could happen if you don't overtrump your p(your a nice guy or gal..lol) If you discard your ace and let your p have the trick then it will be his lead and you are in big trouble unless your azz is covered and he's leading out the left bower (yee-haww) .But if he has no trump to lead (rut roh) you have to trump his lead with a small trump and hope it doesn't get overtrumped. If the opp on your left overtrumps your 10 or queen there is a good chance you are euchred. After you get overtrumped, if the opp on your right has left ace or if he has one big trump and plays it on the next lead which forces out your right leaving his p with the highest trump, you are toast! The difference between getting euchred and making point by playing your cards the right way is 3 points..1 point you lose and 2 points you give away. Very often the difference between winning or losing a game is one mistake..or that one point.
