On partner's call, there are many hands where a trump lead back may be debatable. This is not one of those hands

Red Duke was making all kinds of strange plays if you ask me. lol

Dealer was ordered,has 3 & and 2 off suit aces and does not lead trump? He should have been shot on the spot! He has failed all fundamentals of playing euchre.

One of the worst plays I have seen awhile. The question for the Dealer is, WHAT IN THE H E L L ia your reason for not leading trump on the 2nd trick?

Sorry, I don't follow. Are we not supposed to say who sat where? Is it really even a big deal?

The goal in posting these hands is so OE viewers can analyze and see possible misplays. Pointing out what players were involved in a hand only distracts from that goal.

I would think it's also helpful to get input from the person who made said play, at least in cases where a mistake can be defensible or the right play was deceptively hard to find. I'll admit that this example is a pretty open and shut case, but I'm always giving my thought process for how I played, if I wind up as the target of one of these replays.

There is a basic euchre guideline of pulling trump before playing aces that would apply in this hand.
