More statistics on who calls trump in Euchre

By Marya · Updated by Holger in September 2026

On another page, I analyzed some stats from a large number of Euchre games at World of Card Games. You can slice and dice these numbers in different ways, so here are some more statistics for those who enjoy that kind of thing! They all come from live games of Euchre on the site.

These stats are a little more detailed. As before, each row stands for a player at the table in one "consider" round. The rows are in the order of choosing. So the first row is first seat while the up card is face up. The second row is second seat while the up card is face up, and so on. The row above the totals is the dealer after the up card has been turned face down.

The first column shows how many times the player in that seat got the chance to choose trump. As a sanity check, notice that first seat always gets the chance to choose trump while the up card is face up. The figure in this column is the same as the number of hands analyzed, as expected.

The second column shows the percent of hands where the player in that seat got the chance to choose trump. It's just the first column divided by the total number of hands analyzed. Notice that the dealer doesn't get "stuck" very often. It's so rare that you might almost call it lucky when it happens.

The third column shows how many times the player in that seat called trump.

The fourth column shows how often the player in that seat called trump when they got the chance. To get this percent, I divided the number of calls (column 3) by the number of chances (column 1). As a sanity check, the dealer called every time they got the chance in the second round of choosing. That's expected, because they were "stuck". See below if you're wondering about tables without stick the dealer.

The fifth column shows the percent of all hands where the player in that seat called trump, whether or not they got the chance. To get this percent, I divided the number of calls (column 3) by the total number of hands analyzed (129,164). This column already appeared in part I of the analysis. It's here too so you can compare.

If a table didn't use the stick the dealer rule and all players passed, the hand didn't count. I didn't record those hands, so this analysis leaves them out.

The stats in the fourth column show that when players get to choose from 3 suits in the second round of choosing, they're quite likely to call. The dealer is also very inclined to call the up card. A discussion thread at Ohio Euchre called "Almost Always Calling Seat 1 (Round 2)" showed that first seat really is very keen to call trump in round 2.

Here are the stats.

Euchre consider phase statistics for solo tables with the bots

This table is the same as the one above, but it only counts "all-bots" tables. These are the solo tables, where one human plays with the bots.

Euchre consider phase statistics for tables where humans are allowed

This table is the same as the first one, but it leaves out the "all-bots" tables. It only counts tables where humans were allowed.
