    Any OTers know how to play euchre?

    Prior to my poker playing days, I used to play a lot of crazy eights, euchre and the dreaded acey ducey!

    We used to play euchre tournaments in high school at different people's houses and at lunchtime during school for money. Just curious as to whether many poker players got their start playing card games like euchre or if its just an Ohio Valley/Midwest card game.

    As a side note, if anyone is interested in playing euchre online for $, there are $1 and $10 games on Carbon Poker.

    its really popular in indiana. played it all the time growing up.
    I dont think itd be fun online because theres really not much strategy and mostly just about lucky cards. Its only fun playing live because partners can share signs and people can cheat.

    me too man, made it as high as 3, i played under the name of bottleinfrontofme, wonder if we ever played? damn i was putting in as many hours in euchre as i was at work.

    somehow bragging that i was once the 3rd ranked euchre player in the world doesn't seem as cool as it used to

    i learned it over a summer when my buddies got home from Indiana University...we played for cash. I would give them money when we played Euchre and get it all back playing 7stud, 2card guts, and inbetween.

    i used to play euchre all the time back in high school. now i prob play once every two months. it's one of those games that you can play flawlessly. kinda gets boring after you reach that point.

    That's pretty sweet...yah it's not such a brag now, but you're right--it was SOOO time consuming.  I think I was just JJRoth15 on there...not sure.  

    I would come home from school and play until like 11 PM every night.

    Played all the time growing up. Used to love playing euchre. Moved to Georgia and had to teach folks how to play in order to get up a game. Probably been 2 to 3 years since I played at all. Would like to get back into it.

    I used to play on Pogo.com all the time a few years ago. Had the highest rated name ever on the site, and I'm 99% sure no one has beaten it to this day.

    I'm freakishly good at the game (that said, it's not exactly chess.) If anyone plays and/or wants to learn or get better, hit me up.

    Euchre is probably the most frustrating card game that I have played besides poker. I have a different name for it, something phonetically similar.

    I've always played euchre since I was young, but it was crib that I was into on the yahoo ladder. I was always hovering around the top 20 there for at least a year. Etna ftw.

    I'm in Indiana and it was the 1st card game I learned. We used to play for 10 cents a point when I was a kid. Good times, good times.

    I crush at euchre, gin, hearts, spades, cribbage and rummy. Love those games!

    Sheepshead is also a great midwest game that I am mildly familiar with, but not good.

    Rap poker is fun, too.
