Another difficult 8-9 question

I have the most trouble with this score .

We have 8, they have 9, and they turn down the Ks .

I'm in seat 1 with Jc Kc As Jd Kh . Call something or pass ?

I'm also steaming a bit here as on the previous hand we were up 8-7 when my partner (2300s) went alone and got set

Second trick duck situation

Ac was the upcard. It's early in the game and S3, a 2300, orders me up. I discard Kh to leave Ac 9c Kd Td 9d.

The first trick plays out: Kc Ts Js 9c. The maker then leads back the 9h.

Do you trump in here, or slough ?

In the actual hand >!I trumped for fear of the ace losing to the Right, but it turned out the right was buried and we would have euchred if I did duck this one, as S3 had L-Q-T + 2 small hearts and my partner had 2 higher hearts and the Ad.!<

First hand

My partner is in the 2600's. Opponents both in 2200's.

I'm in third seat with Th-Jd-As-Ks-Jc. Upcard is Qs. Order or pass?

Next hand

I passed and they made a point, and so now it's 8-9 and I'm in second seat. The Kh is up, and my hand is Jh-9d-Ad-As-Ac. Order or pass?
