Realize that the Trice guideline saying that can take down one effective pip is for roll vs pip positions.

Bob, I wonder, if you have missed this post of mine!?

Anyways I feel free to quote Walter Trice again and hope you will kindly tell us, what makes you think otherwise.

The Prop 57 player's edge comes from his being able to handle the cube decisions quickly, effortlessly, and with above-average accuracy. One set of guidelines works well for pip-vs.-roll positions and for roll-vs.-pip positions, if both sides are converted to EPC. Here's how it goes. Start with the "number of rolls" for the position of the player on shake, and subtract 3. This is the maximum deficit in EPC with which the trailer can take a double. If the trailer is within 1 pip of his point of last take, the leader can redouble. Within 2 pips, it is an initial double.

Do you possibly mean both pip-vs.-roll and roll-vs.-pip by just roll-vs.-pip?!
Do you possibly mean, that Trice's EPC rule doesn't work for other kinds of positions, e.g. pip-vs.-pip or the position posted here by Sebastiaan?!
Generally, I would really like to hear more from you. Please don't be that tight-lipped. Thank you.
