In Response To: early in the match. Cube actions? (Chuck Bower)

I would double here and I'm not sure about the take. There is definite gammon danger. Yellow is behind in the race so simply escaping isn't enough. Yellow might hit a fly shot with the back checker or might exploit Black's somewhat difficult-to-clear 16pt. Black's 5pt is still open so there's still some hope for Yellow after getting hit. Despite all these sources of vig, I would be inclined to pass.
