When would you order him to pick up. Depending on seat position (1st or 3rd) and what else you have in hand. I k ow you wouldn't order from 1st if you are really strong in something else.

Don't order it from first unless you've got something killer and no strength in any other suit.jblowery wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 9:00 amSeems like this happens a lot. Let's say I have this hand and my opponent is the dealer and ais turned up.

Sometimes you have to order from first when you're marginal becuz you have no place to go in the 2nd round.
I'd go alone in clubs with that holding.RedDuke wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:07 pmFor example, say you're in first holding:

Don't order up. Sure, you've probably got a point (and you've got both bowers), but in this case it's better to pass in first seat. If the opponents pick it up, you'll probably be able to euchre them. If they don't pick up, you can easily just make clubs trump.
At this point you already know what I'm gonna say, but I'll never stop repeating it. With right + 1 and nothing else from the 2 seat (assuming you don't have all suits blocked) it is imperative that one orders their partner up.RedDuke wrote: ↑Fri Jan 18, 2019 9:07 pmIn second seat, the choice is tougher. You generally don't want to order the right into your partner's hand unless you've got 3 trumps or a really timid partner. If you're holding the right+1 and something decent in an offsuit (say an Ace), you'd probably want to order. The odds that you'll step on your partner's lone attempt aren't that great in that instance.

Agree with everything above. Although If I have a weak partner that passes in the 2nd round a lot, I'd probably order up from 3rd withirishwolf wrote: ↑Thu Jan 17, 2019 9:54 amThis is not a strong enough hand to order the dealer your opponent, not even if you had two off suit aces. Unless your score is 9 to 6 your favor and your partner at seat one passed, knowing he should order without a sure stopper.
It is an 'assist' hand from seat 2 to order.

Like you said though, that's a definite hail mary loner because that hand is going to get euchred a decent bit if you're ordering a trump into the dealer's hand.Wes (aka the legend) wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:04 amAgree with everything above.

+ two offsuit aces, but I agree that with a strong partner in seat 1, this hand is a pass. Although a hand like that can actually be a decent hail mary loner when down 9-6:
