How is this a take?

In Response To: How is this a take? (AP)

If Blue takes and auto recubes on his next shake and wins 7.2% gammons, his tp is 30.5%. Auto recubing is almost always a mistake but the ++ eval sez you win slightly over 30.5%, so it would be a take even if you always made this mistake. You could take with even slightly less winning chances if you handle the recube more intelligently.

See the thread under the position I posted a ways down on the page titled "Cube action ATS" for another example of this auto recube idea.
