Being offensive aggressive and knowing what you are doing is the best strat imo. Being 2 suited can be really strong in most cases. Never trump your partner's ace. Lead out small trump if your partner made it. Never lead yourself out of trump* some outliers for a few of these.

@@tammyducklow4453 You obviously don’t want for your Jack to fall on the same trick as your partner’s (if they have one). But - if your opponents lead a suit you can trump, then you using your jack lets your partner know where it is; valuable information. Let’s say you have the left bower and the 10 of trumps, and your opponent to your right leads. If you Trump with the 10, then you risk the other opponent overtrumping you with the queen, king or ace, and you’ve unguarded your Jack. Better to Trump with it - the worst that’s going to happen is the player to your left throwing the right bower on it, and they were going to win a trick with that card anyway.

At 4:15 he says "Tell your partner to do ...". We may silently communicate with our partners via discards. But to do so verbally is against standard rules. In your house, you can name any rules you want, but in public settings, it is usually rude/illegal. That said, I think you can pause a liiiiittle-longer during bidding to signal your partner you're on the fence, but ethically you should not have a prior agreement for that.

Not sure he’s the most experienced euchre player out there. The tips are okay for a beginner but I was expecting some advanced strategy based on the title. Cross rough is not something I’ve ever heard anyone speak of, although I take it that he is talking about ordering up the trump. Is this game played outside North America?

What you call “baiting”, Americans call “sitting on you”. Otherwise I was pleasantly surprised at how similar the US and UK versions are. And as someone who plays (and wins) tournaments quite frequently I agree with most or all of your assessment. Only thing I disagree with is I would be even more aggressive on loners than you are - I’ll call on L A K and two suited with the ace, for instance. 44% chance right is buried or with my partner, if it’s not then I have a side ace to back me up. Will also call loner if I have R L A +1 and any side card. Even if it’s a nine of diamonds, all it takes is two people having thrown all their diamonds by trick 5. And your partner only has the side ace at a 26% clip, so it’s a 74% chance you’ve only got one point with or without your partner - might as well take the chance and go for four.

6:46 not only that but your partner having that ace can dupe you out of 2 points by taking the lead away from you. How many times have you missed out euchring someone when you had the king in a suit your partner had the ace and you needed the lead to complete the euchre?

Sensible points made in the video, but it’s all stuff that beginners should learn fairly quickly. “Professional… tips” - not really. I don’t mean to be too critical; it’s a good video. But what sets great players apart is knowing stuff like at what point one has a 50/50 chance or better of success when calling ‘next’ once both opponents have passed on the card turned up. Example: they both pass on hearts. On average, you should then call diamonds if you’ve got the king and 10 of diamonds or better. King, ten sounds weak but the expectation is that your opponents are really weak in hearts too, and you’re denying the player to your left the chance to name trumps.

@@stevenguegens9516 Yes - most people fairly quickly get to the point where they're not making beginner mistakes. There's a very large component of luck, so over time one's win rate would tend toward 50%, unless one can gain a little advantage here and there. Stuff like remembering all the cards that have been played (I don't claim to do that, especially if having a few drinks), knowing when you have a >50% play like making spades if the opponents both didn't want clubs - mathematically you only need king & ten of spades or better. In the shorter term, like one evening of playing, luck or not can and will overwhelm that stuff. I used to play online, way back when Yahoo Games was going. There was a really good player I knew who once had a streak of 27 losses in a row; amazing.
