In Response To: Here is the simple answer (phil simborg)

I'm happy enough using 22% and adjusting for gammons.

Is basically what I do now, though I may or may not remember the 22% number. I would probably say moneyish takepoint with scary 1.0 gammon value. Fast double / fast pass and call it a day.

I think the realization for me is that there really is no point to mess around with Neil's numbers and calculate the takepoint over the board when this dead takepoint number isn't even what people are using anyway.

So looks like some memorization is in my future.
