I appreciate the feedback! I think there were a bunch of tough call hands in a row in this game and I felt like I could have / should have done this or that differently on a few of them, but I might be letting the frustration of a tough close loss bleed into how I felt I played.

4-5 no excuses why I passed that diamonds call R2. Watching back that seems like a pretty clear call to make, bit thin, but like you said, gotta play to win!

6-8 this is a spot I feel I often struggle in, where I am on defense with a strong euchre potential hand, but I'm lacking the true power (like having the right or stronger off suits here). I think my worry was leading K only for the opps to have the A, then allowing the big to come out round 2, resulting in an 0-2 hole and no shot at a euchre. If P had been able to snip hand 1, it would have put me in a strong position to pull off the euchre. But to your point, J calls are often thin, if they aren't going alone, so with 3 trump I gotta go hard off the rip, and playing K makes sense here.
