I like action. I love to gamble, especially if I am down on the scoresheet. Those players who take pride in never making a bad take deprive themselves of the possibility of experiencing the incredible rush of making a steaming comeback, which is one of life's greatest thrills.

I don't care if I have to give up a bit of equity to get some action. I play backgammon to have fun and I enjoy myself when the box doubles 62S-55A-F-C and everyone else passes. Not only do I accept the cube, but I also take all the extras.

I think it is probably worth about 1.02 or 1.03. Last time I took this and the extras, it was the first game in the chouette and I never moved again, promptly getting closed out and gammoned, losing about 18 points.

I'm a slow learner. I would do it again, because I love the action.
