Saving only your highest cards may not be the best way

I'm showing this hand because last week I watched someone that was trying to teach euchre to another. Their suggestion was to call trump and discard the 9 of clubs.
This was just the wrong move on so many levels
Think about what happens if 1 seat leads a club and your partner trump in. Your ace is wasted.
It is unlikely that the king of clubs will ever win a trick.
If you were to discard the king you'd create a void that you could trump.
This is the type of hand where you should be trying a lone call.
Remember winning at euchre involves a little bit of planning ahead.
