I have learned quite a bit about Euchre that I didn't know, even after having played the game for 27 years now since I learned how to in college. Link:

The dealer can discard anything he wants, including the card ordered up. I do it all the time when I'm the dealer and the loner has the lead, if I have only one little trump and four suits. There is no rule on what the dealer can or cannot discard: He has six cards to choose from when he is ordered. The problem was, you should not have thrown your cards in. There is a rule, applying to whistlike games in general, not just to euchre, that a revoke (renege) cannot be established until the accused plays a card of the suit denied or until completion of the hand, whichever comes earlier. See "irregularities" in many card game encyclopedias. This rule is often unwritten, but here's the proof: To prove a revoke otherwise would require a premature exposure of a player's hand, and we all know that that's against the rules. There's yet another rule that applies: A player has the right to correct his revoke, if he has made one, before the next trick is led. If you have thrown in your cards, you have deprived him of his right to atone. Thanks for your interesting query. Link:

This is what happened-I told the dealer to pick it and I'll play it alone. I lead the right bower, the dealer did not follow the suit lead. I called a renege and threw in my cards. The dealer had discarded the card that I had ordered up. There was some discussion, & the players aged thta you can discard any card.I didn't agree, because the dealer was ordered to pick up, which means it must be in his hand.How many points should be given? Who should get the points? Why? Thanks, Ronnie Link:
