Cube action in reality?

Okay I had the bar slotted and got hit there, then missed with 65 and made the wrong play... Gnu wants you to break the 6 point and slot the ace point! It's pretty nauseating to have that happen and I wanted to pass the redouble, in fact when I talked myself into taking it I was prepared to find out it was a pass later.
Lo and behold, it was no redouble!
Therefore, I think this is a mandatory redouble for White, to capitalize on the nausea factor. Or the arrogance of your "superior" opponent. It just looks and feels bad, so you must manually start your opponent's imagination by redoubling him! Let him overcome all that psychological crap. Even though the bot "knows" this is a bad redouble... Its a good gamble, especially if your opponent is predictable. It is better to redouble someone who will not KNOW, like Neil or MCG or Stick I guess... But that is the beauty of doubling, you get to pick whom to double/redouble.
I was proud I talked myself into taking... and won the race after he got by with a 62. I even got in a good 8 cube! My ER was low for this match because I overcame my visceral aversion to the position.
I think it was a good idea to try and capitalize on that for my opponent, despite the bad result.
The score (after 0 games) is: naz 1, Coolrey 0 (match to 7 points)
Move number 5: naz on roll, cube decision?
