Double? Take?

In Response To: Double? Take? (KenB)

Start with Woolsey's rule. Does White have a take? Looks like it to me. White has the deucepoint game with Blue's 3-pt. currently unmade, he can win going forward if Blue runs one off the 18 and gets hit, plus 42 is a poor shot for Blue. I'm still not 100% sure it's a take, so it probably is a double. You'll get some passes in this position, another reason to cube. How about volatility? Most doubles will lose the mkt along with any "run 1 off the 18 and don't get hit" sequence. Blue is doing alright in most other sequences so it looks like a double to me.
