(Notice 2nd hand I did what I just said, I played my highest trump b/c if I don't s2 wins that trick and changes the entire hand)

Yep, once the dealer showed a spade on 2nd street you absolutely MUST lead a spade on 3rd street. The dealer showed a heart on 1st street, and a spade on 2nd street, so we know the dealer's void is in clubs. Thus leading clubs on 3rd street--right to the dealer's void--would be playing to the strength of the enemy, a critical mistake. Leading spades gives your team the best chance at a euchre in this spot, attacking your enemy's perceived weakness. I realize S1 didn't have a club to lead so he couldn't make this mistake, just wanted to point that out anyways.LeftyK wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 6:24 pm What makes this hand stick out to me is that the 2nd trick BOTH S2 S4 rid spades and with me holding two of them, I paused for a bit and thought "one of them has another spade and I believe it's the dealer (caller).... and so I led spades on third street.
When S2 trumps the spade lead with the QD, S3 lays off becuz he doesn't wanna unguard as his team already has 2 tricks. BUT THAT'S A CRITICAL MISTAKE!! S3's guarded Left is a mirage becuz S2 will now have the lead and thus S3 will be caught in a pickle--his guarded Left prime to get stripped--with the Maker behind him who obviously has 2 trump left given that he hasn't spent a trump yet.LeftyK wrote: Tue Feb 02, 2021 6:24 pmSo S2 plays trump and this is where my p missed a golden opportunity for a euchre. I think you must, MUST overtrump in this situation.
