Consolidation of "I'm Snakebit"

Okay, I know I said I wouldn't do it, but I got bored and invested another small sum in Play65. My latest match was typical.

I'm playing this Swiss player with a high rating. 9 pts., $20. Recreation.

First game: I roll 4-2 and point. He rolls 6-4 and makes 2 point. I roll 5-1, down and slot. He cubes !! I can handle this. -.39 to double. +1.48 to take. I take.

We cruise on a few rolls and, not surprising considering the start, I get in a commanding position. I, according to Snowie, erroneously recube. -.24 because it was too good. He takes !!!! -.77. I was ecstatic.

We start bearing off and the guy redoubles me from the following position.

Again, I'm liking this. -.28 to redouble. +1.29 to take. He's only 44.8% favorite !!

Boom. After his 4-4 and 3-3 I get to listen to his smack.

I win a couple of games and lose the match.

My 3.8 falls woefully short to his 16.8.

LOLOL. Typical of my Play65 experiences.
