In Response To: Stick vs Merriman: XG++ Data Makes No Sense (Stick)

Somehow, I misread this position thinking there would be 5 men on the 5 and 6 points after the pick and pass play which would force an inner board blot after double 3s. Oops.

In the actual position, double threes would only only shift the equity by about 0.003 whereas double sixes would swing the equity about 0.006 the other way. On balance this favours the pick and pass play as you correctly surmised.
