I did end up diagramming this one wrong. I was not in this game but I was very surprised that the box partner who offered to take all of the added equity of doubling wanted to pass everything here when it got shipped to 4.

I was the last man standing on the team here playing as blue holding a 4 cube. I knew I was hitting as soon as I rolled it but I failed to get the six right anyways. Sometimes it takes more cojones to button up and let your opponent roll.
