In Response To: Cube action? (Joe Russell)

I like Joe's analysis and answers. Let me add my own perspective to the list by focusing on the ignored possibility :-)

- Against a stronger player: double.

I think your opponent needs to be quite a bit weaker to make this a non-double, but not sure how to quantify this. It looks to me that technically the double is clear, so hits with very little life after death and significant gammon chances, a redouble but clear take after a miss.
