Words for Koca I hate to say

Let's pretend you are in a complicated position, or maybe even a strong, well-timed back game, and you are doubled in bluff gammon. And you realize that no matter what he rolled, you have a fairly good position...remember, cube vig in bluff gammon is huge, so holding the cube is worth far more than it is in a normal game (I'd love to see someone come up with a number but I don't think it's possible.)

In that situation a beaver might be correct. We do not play Raccoons, so there is not a risk there.

And of course it could also be possible to beaver in bluffgammon if your opponent makes a horrible double where even with the best roll he is a dog.

Also, if you are fairly confident that your opponent is bluffing and didn't roll the huge joker, but only a fair or even a bad roll, then a beaver might also be the best tactic.

So once again I must write these horrible words: yes, Mr. Koca, you are right. There might be a beaver in bluffgammon.
