I'm with Koca. I have no idea what you mean by a psychological advantage in a chouette by making this play. If you had cube access and you could draw incorrect drops after a bad entry or fan then I could see a discussion. As it is to me it seems like you're trying to find an excuse to give away equity?

It reminds me of someone who reads on these forums I play sometimes who has said to me many times in the past "It may not technically be a double but you don't want me to double!" I never got this. I want you to make any wrong decision where you piss away equity to me.

I'm no more interested in this to roll it out more. With a 54 it's clear to hit both.
