This is why I don't favor these hands in these scenarios. They can work but, make them work when it counts or up a bit more so it doesn't hurt your team.

That means it's go time, unless the maker's partner is hiding the right bower, that means the left bower is boss, and leading trump, and then following it up with a boss KS is exactly what you want to do here.
Yeah S2 just had a brainfart here or something. S4 showed a spade on the first lead (AS) so there's a good chance he has another spade given that he already had the opportunity to create a void when he picked up. So that means when S1 leads the KS there's a good chance it will walk if S2 doesn't trump in. S2 especially can't allow that to happen when he doesn't have the boss trump. S2 also has nothing to fear as far as being overtrumped since S3 showed void in trump. So S2 needs to make the simple play and trump the KS and then lead the AC and hope it walks for the point and if not hope his P has another trump to save the day.

Oh man, I completely missed that the dealer simply could have given the maker the 1st trick in spades and saved his ace, so many mistakes this hand. Then the maker can just lead his AC and the dealer can play off in hearts. Now from here they can't get euchred no matter what the maker chooses to lead.irishwolf wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 12:32 pmNO NO NO, you should make a point on this hand around 75% of the time, if played correctly. Dealer played it all wrong putting his AS on the first trick. S2/S4 should have made a point if played properly. Let your partner have the trick as S1 is probably setting up his KS. bUT PASSING here is okay too.

I missed that too. There's no good reason for S4 to play over his P's boss spade especially when that demotes S4s other spade to non-boss status. His P is the maker, let him have control on the 2nd trick and decide what's best for his team.jspectre wrote: ↑Fri Jun 11, 2021 3:18 pmOh man, I completely missed that the dealer simply could have given the maker the 1st trick in spades and saved his ace, so many mistakes this hand.
