In this hand I would actually pass. Having 2 out of 3 second round suits blocked is enough defense for me not to call marginal. My two low trump+off ace calls are really for those spots where I block nothing in the 2nd round or only block 1 out of 3 suits. Basically the theoretical idea is the higher the cost of passing the more marginal we need to call. I'm guessing that having 2 out of 3 suits blocked lowers the cost of passing enough to make calling this marginal not worth it. That said, with a large lead, I may still call when I have 2/3 suits blocked. With a large lead we have the right to be more paranoid becuz a euchre now doesn't cost that much.
