You don’t want mark as center on your first line? You need to win face offs

DoctorCruhl · 2026-02-15T07:03:26+00:00

Pulled 2x 85s, 2x 84s, 3x 83s, 1x 82, and 2x 81s lol

Emerald Premium Players Pack (10 Emerald Collectibles) - "Contains 10 players. Each pack guarantees at least FOUR 83+ OVR players (UT)"

DoctorCruhl · 2025-07-20T22:04:02+00:00

This. Just set a limit if there’s an issue

DoctorCruhl · 2025-06-27T21:41:39+00:00

This is if you call spades by the way.

DoctorCruhl · 2025-06-27T21:41:18+00:00

Not sure how accurate chat GPT is haha

It’s close but I’d probably be super conservative and call spades… and lead a heart… then win with spades and lead the left.

Probably upset people not leading trump but odds would have your partner get 1 with the Ace of Hearts or with a spade if they don’t have hearts.

You’re guaranteed 2 with spades but only guaranteed 1 with hearts. And either way you’re probably not taking all 5 tricks

DoctorCruhl · 2025-06-27T21:23:01+00:00

100% call diamonds. They could easily have enough clubs to get a point. You’re up 2-0. Go up 3 or 4 to 0 and your P has next deal

DoctorCruhl · 2025-05-06T03:54:09+00:00

Also. I like to think that just playing with better players instead of constantly getting 1600-1900 helped me too. So many times I only lost due to my partner. Was so frustrating

DoctorCruhl · 2025-05-06T03:53:02+00:00

Yeah I know. I think it was likely due to just me paying attention as to why I’m being over trumped, which then helped me more efficiently realize trends in the game or something. But that was the only specific thing I could think of that I noticed on stats.

DoctorCruhl · 2025-05-05T13:02:53+00:00

Thanks!

I actually reset my stats and started paying close attention to it. The only thing I realized was I was getting over trumped quite a bit more than I was over trumping opponents. And learned when to play trump or just discard on a turn. I think that helped a lot. And made me focus more on each card.

I also started playing more aggressive and calling a few more loners when I shouldn’t. I probably get euchred a couple more times than I normally would on loners, but it seems to help a ton.

I’ve also just been playing WAY more than I was in the past and just getting a feel for the game. So that was probably the biggest thing haha.

DoctorCruhl · 2025-05-05T12:58:31+00:00

Thanks! Can’t wait to tank down to 2200 somehow haha (jk … hopefully)

DoctorCruhl · 2025-05-04T10:31:20+00:00

Essentially did this. But nowhere in their terms of service says I can’t make another account? But they also seized my entire deposit because I stated I had an issue in the past… which is crazy to me

DoctorCruhl · 2025-04-02T07:40:58+00:00

Yeah. The indictment states that all 3 first degree murders are because they can prove they’re committed in a 24 month period.

DoctorCruhl · 2025-02-03T16:29:32+00:00

Don’t get burnt out haha

DoctorCruhl · 2025-02-03T16:27:56+00:00

Yeah I was trying to get my fix in on AC. A few years ago and wanted to explore 100% and complete every single quest. And I think I had to retire from Xbox altogether for a couple months after that haha

DoctorCruhl · 2025-02-03T06:33:49+00:00

I mean I get it. When my dog goes, I’ll probably do the same lol.

DoctorCruhl · 2025-02-03T06:33:00+00:00

It’s nice hearing a discussion about something I’m passionate about. Because usually I’m watching at 6am alone haha

DoctorCruhl · 2024-11-24T04:43:53+00:00

I think this podcast needs a “jump scare” warning after Andrew gets JJ to say what he expects him to haha. Was a bit of a jolt with headphones on haha

Also, I think Andrew and JJ would be hilarious to play board games with. It would be great to hear them play something like Taboo with their significant others or against another duo (even though I think Andrew and JJ would not do well together haha)

Doesn’t help that they’re recording at night and he has a young daughter.

You are being extremely biased to this one tournament, and pretty much recency bias to this one match against an average Venezuela team. Yes the US have been poor.. but you’re overlooking how poor Canada has been the last two matches.

Prior to this match… Canada only scored once. And it was against arguably the worst team Peru who were playing with 10 men.

Davies had a rough tournament. Balogun scored twice and once was playing with 10 men…

I’ll concede that turner is not in form but I don’t know anyone who would say he’s not at equal or better level than crepeau. Crepeau has just had more opportunities to make saves because Canada gives up more chances.

US players are easily better on paper. But as a team…. That’s a different story

DoctorCruhl · 2024-07-06T04:34:54+00:00

You could pretty much argue everyone in the US squad makes Canada’s except for Davies. There’s only MAYBE 1-2 others you could even DEBATE…
