Bottom line, at every score except 9-8, 8-9, 8-8), I'm not passing in the 2nd round when I block nothing. IOW I think calling is a losing play-not that big of a loser, I mean you still have 3 trump-but I think your team will lose more in the long run if you pass. Whenever I'm in Seat 1 with three trump and block nothing in the 2nd round/have nowhere to go, I'm always ordering the dealer up (except at scores 9-8, 8-9, and 8-8). I strongly feel that passing this hand in this spot is a mistake. From memory I have seen other players do this a few times and I didn't begrudge them for it.Īnyone who has taken my quiz knows how I approach this spot (even tho most or all? disagreed with me). My second thought is if the dealer passes I am in deep strife with no next and no block in red.īeing 4 points behind, I am leaning towards ordering up and hoping for the best. My first thought is it's not strong enough to order the dealer up, but I hope they pick up so I can lead trump for a potential euchre. Please give me your wisdom on this situation that came up for me recently. I used to order this all day once upon a time. I've actually passed twice in this spot with similar hands. If your partner has any help its a bonus.

Some guy named Wes, Anyways go with hearts then lead it and you may get some big ones to drop, you may even promote your King to being boss trump if that happens you can run spades for the win. You still have a boss King of spades and can play hearts to kind of semi-donate but who donates at this score? Oh I know who. Also what about your partner? I mean if you are really scared of a loner, call your best if it gets turned down. What I would consider here is what kind of opponent is in the dealer seat? Same thing for who is in the Seat 2 position. It is entirely possible that, might happen in any of the three suits. They will have to be either loaded or going alone in seat 2 to really burn you. You do have a viable heart potential stopper with two voids. I'm passing all day here, every day, except 9-9. However, if we're in the lead, I may take a chance on this play, and I will call here if I want to block 2nd seat from calling, because this is the best play I have. I have been in this particular situation many times, and you really don't have a chance if they were going to pick it up, and if they turn it down you may or may not have made that point anyway given how weak the hand was. In that situation you're practically donating, so only call that or call next afterward if you can't allow the opponents to call in this situation. However, if you give me 2 trash cards like a 9 of diamonds, Q of hearts, I would be way more hesitant to call that, even if I have nowhere to go in the 2nd round. I daresay it's the correct move even from 3rd seat, let alone 1st, given how most partners play the game. The only correct play is to call in this situation.

Passing this hand into diamonds is extremely dangerous, and there's no guarantee they weren't waiting for a next call, as you possess no strength in clubs. You could try and play next here, but you only have a very weak tripleton K of spades to offer, your partner would have to have both bowers and possibly another trick.

Your only play after that gets turned over is a hearts call that amounts to little more than a guess, and you would have to lead hearts because you have only spades for non-trump suits. This is an automatic call for me at any score.
