Very interesting Variation.

imagine the sequence: 52S-55K-F-31P-F-D

obviously it's a double before 31, but by making a big error, after the fan, what should the opponent do on the double? normal play is drop by a huge margin, but by doing so you give one point while your opponent has a PR in the 15's (actually just put the sequence in XG and it's a 18.65 PR). Seems to me like you want to take, but i am not so sure...

one thing i'am sure, i will not play that variation against you or Matt... my head hurts already...
