Good bag by seat 3, unfortunate for the maker, however, they did play the hand correctly. They just got euchred is all.

Great example hand demonstrating the benefit of passing both Bowers from R1S3!

It matches up to OE lessons about ordering from R1S3.Click on the lesson:

Highly questionable for the maker to lead trump when he has NO ACES no bower!

This was me. I would gladly lead the off suit double here if it wasn't a J/10, but the odds of having the remaining boss card in this pairing are slim. It would have worked with the ace being buried, and everyone having only one spade, but the person holding both bowers held the KS, so I was euchred either way. I know from experience that sometimes leading trump here is the only way to avoid a euchre, but I don't know which play the math would back up.
