Set 5 last night, we took two of three again, including a 10/0 with no loners. I keep assuming we'll just run awful some night, although I'm not sure what a reasonable sample size is. We are third (through 4 sets), one team had won 10/12. The standandings are the points you get in each match, win or lose, except you get a two point bonus for winning.

1) Always call/order if you have 2, unless you're in first position and you have a better 2nd suit. Then obv pass. I guess I occasionally pass from 2nd position if I know the person in 1st is a nit, although at the game you describe I wouldn't expect this to happen often.
I assume you mean if your partner dealt? Surely you are not ordering other team up with something like K9 trump+garbage?


One general spot I had a few times last night:

You order it up with Jxx trump plus one Ace plus say a K from first position:

1)You lead the Ace and take the trick, everyone follows suit

2) You lead the Ace and take the trick, everyone follows suit EXCEPT your parnter, who throws a 9 off

3) You lead the Ace and take the trick, everyone follows suit EXCEPT the player to your left, who throws a 9 off

What do you lead now?
Does it matter if the K is a 9?


It feels to me like guesswork - once last night I got euched like this leading the right (partner had left only), and once we got euched because I didn't and the woman to my left had the left only and I could have pulled it.
