Early Game Blitz Cube with Elo Difference

In Response To: Early Game Blitz Cube with Elo Difference (Stick)

I generally just try to play to minimize my PR without regard to what opponent I'm playing. I adjust if I think my opponent tends to drop anything scary or take anything that has some chance. Against a stronger player I'll try to steer the game into a more luck-based scenario with high cubes; against a weaker player i try to avoid high cube values. But I'm not trying to win tournaments, playing with minmum PR is an end in itself (BTW, I'm not all that successful at this)

As for the current diagram, the watchword for short matches is to get some gammon chances and push the cube. I see that here. A cube may be premature, but some will drop (few, but some) and making a third point followed by a dance is a market loser. 11, 12, 14, 22, 23, 24, 25, 33, 34, 44 and 64 are all very good rolls, so maybe the cube is not so premature.

I might drop against a weaker player, since a few (un)lucky sequences will have me blitzed off the board. I think I'd cube just about anyone.
