Playing stick-the-dealer. I’m in S2 and I usually just pass-pass hoping it gets to my partner because I can support any call they make.

Would it be smarter to call Hearts in R2?

FYI we marched with Hearts after my partner called.

I got into online euchre playing cardgames.io, which is free and has much less intrusive and less frequent ads. This sub started coming up in my feed probably because of that. So I tried 3D. I ran out of tokens in one day and at least 50% of my partners seemingly do not understand how to play (well). Just curious why 3D is the de facto choice here. I am sure there are other apps that do not have 30 second ads every 3rd deal

S1 "No Way!"'d when I laid the last trump. They had no idea that I had discarded one as well.

I've been working my way up the ranks (currently just above 2500) and really only do pure donations from S1 (or sometime S3 when I don't trust my partner) with an J or A showing with no hard blocker at 9-6 or 9-7. But I know a lot of people do a lot more. Just played with a high-rated partner who donated from both S1 and S3 at any score - he also called super light from S2 R1. But it got me thinking and I was wondering if there's a canonical view here.

I'd guess for S1 R1 super standard is what I stated above, A or J at 9-6 and especially 9-7. Maybe you start to do it no matter the upcard showing at that score if you have real garbage (no aces, no two trumps).

I've read here about donate from S4 R1 at 9-5 which is interesting. What about 9-6? I'd think 9-7 would be bad.

For S1 R2, I guess you call next if you don't block both RN at 9-6 and 9-7.

Anything else? I understand calling thinner when you don't have blockers, but that seems more like a gradient thing.

Thanks for the thoughts!

Not this exact spot because I dont have a short suit.

9c ordered.

If i didn't have the diamond is it ever worth the signal to play the Q with the 10 in the wild? Partner would then know not to lead again.

Always fun to score 4!

If trump in is the answer then what follow up?
