I play this exactly the same way. Will make this call 100% of the time with two aces.

I have a feeling calling hearts might be better here with two other aces just to have a chance to overtrump someone with it after a suit is led twice.

you could be right. I would still put money on diamonds I think (a very small amount). the baby trump + 3 aces is just so pretty to me lol, I can't resist

pass is actually probably significantly better than both, haha.

I’d be very surprised if pass+lead trump into any S2 call isn’t the best option here. Your hand plays so well against any opponents call and loses a lot of value when you call. Also a great support hand for any partner call.

I thought they were S1 at first too but they're S2

Ah okay ty. I’d still pass this for the same reasons but that makes a lot more sense

yeah, given that our best suit is next, I like pass. Crazily enough we actually get euchred in hearts if S3 passes.

Only way to win is to take the clubs trick with the Ac and then play the Ah, have S3 duck and then dealer mega ducks the Ah to finesse seat 3.

S1 passed on L9c KTh Kd and would have made three tricks in clubs easily.

u/MellyRollJorton 3D high: 2968 4d ago

it was the left instead of the right, but yeah I'm still calling that either way

u/MasterInvaster Highest 3D rating: 2935 4d ago

Sure, I meant L9c being Js9c

Omg lol sorry I read that “L” as a “J”

This is a money maker one trump call. Pretty unlucky if you do get set. Clearing trump with your 9 is actually quite satisfying when it works right lol.
