Today so far has been a good day in the Conso in Novi. I didn't get a bye and have won four matches and need to win 3 more to cash.
It seems that most of my opps want to play with me holding the cube. In the last match this was true to great extent. In game 1 my opp cubed me too soon, and I turned it around and then thru a joker 55 and played on for the G which he saved with boxes. In game 2, when he cubed the only question I'd have had if playing for money would have been whether to beaver. I turned the game around and was playing for the G for a long time and then a sudden accident happened but my opp couldn't roll enough 6's to hop so I recubed here and he took this 1.32 pass and was G'd.
When someone throws a W/C player a very easy take when he has an anchor and there's complicated contact (ie the doubler has back checker(s) also. He is putting said W/C player under little pressure and forcing himself to play the checkers and likely make considerably more errors than the W/C does in finishing the game.
I hope more of my opps cube me early and take recubes like this. This is when I want to recube when I am the stronger player and leading in the match...ie when my opp is screwed.
The score (after 0 games) is: opp 0, neilkaz 2 (match to 9 points)
Move number 5: neilkaz on roll, cube decision?
Pip counts: opp 81, neilkaz 102
