In Response To: separating TG from D/P (Bob Koca)

I just don't see it as comparing apples to apples (or at least not the same apple varieties). It should be clear by looking at the win % for double/take for money and 5a-5a example. For 5a-5a you will win less because you will make the extra blitzing effort when possible (and therefore, win more gammons) now that the cube is on 2 (and G value=0.66). It relies on 2 slightly different playing strategies which impact the equities.

Bottom line is that I appreciate your opinion but am not convinced. In addition, I see 9% difference in gammon value as not huge but it is a lot (definitely from a bg perspective).

Intuitively, I think it is easy to create a position that is TG for money (no Jacoby) and D/P for 5a5a, and not sure whether it is possible to create a position that is D/P and TG accordingly.
