Chuck, have you tried this yourself?

By the way, I have one comment about something you said:

bots seldom lose their markets so simply taking all cubes, or better yet, taking all cubes where there wasn't a joker in the last sequence and only contemplating the joker situations, will lead to few cube errors.

I've heard this said before but I have made tons of bad takes against the bot. I haven't recorded enough human matches to be sure, but anecdotally I think that I lose less equity per match on take/pass decisions against humans, because there are plenty of humans who are systematically too timid or too aggressive with the cube, and the take/pass decision against such opponents is usually easy.

Do you have data to support your claim that you lose less equity on take/pass decisions against the computer than against humans?
