Discussion Euchre Simulation and Winning Chances
I tried posting this to r/euchre but it got removed immediately.
I’ve been working on a project that calculates the odds of winning a round of Euchre based on the hand you’re dealt. For example, I used the program to calculate this scenario:
If you in the first seat to the left of the dealer, a hand with the right and left bower, along with the three non-trump 9s wins results in a win 61% of the time. (Based on 1000 simulations)
For the euchre players here:
Would knowing the winning chances for specific hands change how you approach the game? Could this kind of information improve strategy, or would it take away from the fun of figuring it out on the fly? What other scenarios or patterns would you find valuable to analyze? I’m excited about the potential applications of this, but I’d love to hear from any Euchre players. Do you think this kind of data would add to the game, or do you prefer to rely purely on instinct and experience? Here is the github link:
