In Response To: Recube for match? (neilkaz)

OTB with my opp's position having checkers out of play and being fragile I felt that I could win this game about 63% at DMP noting that if plans to go forward failed, I'd often have a 14 game or timed ace pt game. I felt that about half my losses based on these game plans would be G's. Thus I slightly over estimated my DMP chances and G losses. I didn't really care much about my G's since I didn't see many scenarios to make me TG b4 cashing.

I knew my opp's TP was 30% and since b4 we started play, he thanked me for Neil's Numbers, I figured he did as well, thereby reducing my chances to get a really sick take from him later.

Clearly, there seem to be market losing sequences here and all though I felt that he had almost no chance to pass (having recubed me very aggressively as well) I spun the cube and now started a series of really sick dice for both sides. He made a slight error in play, and a couple rolls later was punished with a ruinous breaking 44 when I had two checkers on the bar after having been forced to break my 5 pt. I hit from the roof and soon won.

Looking at the RO results, I can see that I might have done better to not recube a player about 60 ELO weaker than me, although the game still has to be played out and I like keeping opps under pressure.
