In a recent game, White cubed me here and I passed more or less instantly. I was a bit surprised to see it is barely a dub. I thought maybe the 4-4 anti-joker may be the culprit, but moving the 2 checkers from my 3-pt to my 2 point (where 4-4 is still a huge anti-joker) turns the position into huge pass.

Any help on how to analyze such a position?

The only thing I have now is the basic 1-man closed out reference positions...I know that 3 men closed out puts me at about 10% wins...I figured that the bad white spares and open 1-point couldn't possibly help me enough to turn the position into a take. Looking back now, I realize I have to factor in the contact in my home board as White has some bad rolls...but not sure how to do it.

Money Game
White on roll. Cube action?

White	100
Blue	61
