Most experts will agree with all these answers. Are there some rare situations where the answers may not be the best play? Maybe. This quiz assumes you understand the game, and there is an average distribution of cards. Euchre is a game that requires a quick analysis your opponents and the cards played. It is my hope that by taking this quiz, you will take a good look at your method of play, and maybe try a few new things. At the end of the quiz you will be told what answers are correct along with statistics on the results. Some questions, if answered incorrectly, will point you to a page on site to help you find the correct answers.(more help will be added later)

Some of these were serious "thinkers". I think I thought too long on some of them. lol Nice job Don!

My score was posted twice because I was going to try to figure out which ones I got wrong, but I changed my mind and clicked the send button again. I have a fairly good idea which I got wrong, but I have my own rationale why I played the way I did. :)

I'd like to see the list of explanations/correct answers. Can you email me this?

Posted by Ann on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #33

I will be adding a section that will say what questions one has incorrectly answered. along with a link to help determine that answer. But first I'd like to collect some data. This will help me to decide the types of information that needs to be added or up dated on this site.

Posted by Don on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #34

Some interesting situations, but someone definitely needs to spend some time editing.

As for #3, you don't call next holding no trump on the faint hope that somehow your partner is sitting on enough to make up for your void, especially since you can't lead into his hand. Where do you think the seven trump are, and how are you going to prevent them from cross-trumping you to death?

Furthermore, whatever you think the correct lead is, it's wrong. You lead the A of spades because you need to give your team the best shot at taking the first trick while also giving your partner the chance to void himself to better set up his hand. Your opponents are more likely to beholding black.

Some of the other situations posted are also based on poor premises, such as #23, ordering up the 9 holding LA, with length that's going to get trumped in hearts. Pass to the dealer, who you can support nicely if he picks it up. 2nd Chair should, in general, defer to the dealer's decision and pass marginal hands. If he passes, you have next defended, two outside Aces in diamonds, and a possible loner in hearts. The only time you'd order up that 9 is if you're either way behind and you have to be sure you're calling every hand or you're way ahead and you'd rather risk getting euched than the first chair going alone in next. Again, where do you think the trump are? You're missing the R, your hearts aren't likely good because you have half of them, and you have no idea how strong your p is. Let him decide.

Posted by Jed on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #35

One other comment about #3. If you're someone who insists on calling from the 1st chair in a 9-9 game when the dealer turns it down, you make it spades and hope for the best. That way, you control which black suit is trump, you're able to lead trump (the 10, of course) and pull, and you give your A of hearts a better chance of being good. When the dealer turns down a 9 of hearts, about all you can conclude is that he doesn't have the J. A good 2nd chair by this time will have picked up that 1st chair is a next whore and adjust to passing when holding decent next, so don't be surprised when he shows up with something like Jx of diamonds and he passed to the dealer because he could support hearts and take advantage of an over-aggressive 1st chair if his partner turned it down.

Posted by Jed on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #36

Edit to comment #35 - going alone in diamonds. Obviously, you have alone in next stopped.

Posted by Jed on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #37

I think perhaps I misunderstood the text of the results. I originally thought it said I missed question 3, but it seems it really said I missed 3 questions, although I don't seem to be able to tell which ones it thinks are incorrect. It would be helpful to see which ones on which we disagree.

Posted by Jed on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #38

Hmmm

Posted by Jan on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #39

Interesting, and would enjoy the answers

Posted by BBS on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #40

Retook the test a few times on the 3-4 questions I thought were debatable

Posted by BBS on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #41

Thank you for putting this together - always looking at ways to improve my game. The first time I took it, I got a 72 based on my gut reaction. I went back on some of the questionable ones and got an 88. I then gamed the quiz to figure out the answers.

Euchre is a game where there is a lot of situational luck. Part of it is knowing the odds, and part of it is knowing your partner's style as well as your opponent. Some of the questions I got wrong initially, and thinking about, I will change my game style a tad. Some others, no way - the odds do not play out in the long run. Example, I called a loner, with only the right and rest were As and one king. I made it, but had to, the score was 8-2 in a tournament, and figured a hail mary was needed. If the score was 6-6, I would not go alone.

Posted by al on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #42

Thank You for your post..The idea behind this Quiz, is to get players to look at the way they play and try something different. So many people play the same way no matter what the situation. By thinking outside the box, and adjusting your style to adapt to not only the cards by the players as well, can one become a better player.

Posted by Don... on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #43

YOu can;t order trump with none in your hand. That is a kitchen rule... not tournament.

Posted by noel on Wednesday, 12.31.69 @ 17:00pm | #45

I agree that some of these answer comes down to ones style of play. please send me your answer and why their correct.

Thanks - Great Website love the game.
