In Response To: San Antonio has Burger Kings, too (Chuck Bower)

OK, it's not technically a Whopper but it's still the kind of error to avoid (2.2% MWC because it's DMP). The analysts here did a nice job with this so there isn't much I can add. I broke my RoT which is to ask "if opp rolls an immediate 66 do I become an underdog?" to decide on the play. (Oh, and that was their immediate roll.) As an aside I don't think this was the exact position -- I reconstructed it after the match from memory. Since it was against Gus Contos and Rich Munitz (my partner was Lee Genud who wanted to make the double cover play...) maybe one of them will remember the exact position better than I. But what I posted is still worth discussing even if it's (a bit) different than what happened in real life.
