It is totally worth it to learn by how much it is a take or drop. You wanted to improve cube handling for matches right? You may even want to learn for a few how it breaks down cubeless into wins and gammon wins.

Once again, Woolsey's Backgammon Reference Positions helps a lot here. There are a few errors (mostly due to statsig). I've made flashcards from this book by simply xeroxing the pages, cutting, and stapling so that the diagram is on one side and the RO results on the other. If I really care (haven't taken the time) I can handwrite corrections to the RO's on the results side.

Since I own the book and have made only one copy of the cards (specifically for me) I don't feel like I'm taking advantage of the situation.
