4away-3away cube handling

In Response To: 4away-3away cube handling (nixo)

The leader's raw takepoint at 4-away 3-away is 24% and the live cube takepoint is 20%, so I don't think it's very different AtS than for money play.

Using the Trice count, White's point of last take is 11 pips behind. Blue can offer an initial double if he's within 3, or 8 pips ahead. That's exactly what he has, so if this were a straight race blue would (barely) have an initial double.

But it's not a straight race. There's still enough contact to give white a few percent bigger gwc. This would seem to push this into no double territory. I don't think the match score is enough to offset. The take is trivial.
