I agree 100% with RedWolf & Wes. This is getting scary!
What is even scarier, is looking at the BPS counts:
0.50 Seat 4
1.00 Jc
0.25 Tc
0.25 1 Void
2.00 Which is the minimum, "edge" order. But now:
+.25 for having 9 Points (to end & win the game
2.25 One click above minimum but:
-.25 for Opponent having 8 points:
2.00 We are back to the edge.

What is even scarier, is looking at the BPS counts:

0.50 3 trump but weak

2.25 A "tad" better than 2.00 but no trump winners. In fact no winners!
____ The BPS is an approximation. You must keep thinking and analyzing.
____ This hand is equivalent to the 2.00 rating for the previous hand. So:
2.00 means I'm confident of taking 1 trick but doubtful on the 2nd trick.
____ (2.50 points gives me 90% confidence that I can take 2 tricks).
+.25 for having 9 Points (to end & win the game
2.25 One click above minimum but:
-.25 for Opponent having 8 points:
2.00 We are back to the edge.
The final decision for both hands:
2.00 equates to a 60-70% chance of my success. (30 to 40% chance of being euchred and losing).
If I pass, 2.00 means that my hand is weak defensively, I estimate a 70% chance of Opponents taking at least 1 point (possibly 2). Plus Opponents have a 70% chance of making a point and winning the next hand. (They have the deal). Let's "guesstimate" that Opponents have a 60% chance of winning if I pass.
Order Up! Damn the torpedoes! Euchre is a game of chance and you must take chances to win more often.
