Blue on roll, cube action?

I am notoriously bad at evaluating these close ones. I typically use Robertie’s old rule about cubing as you prepare to clear the third point from the most advanced anchor. (I apply this rule loosely.) By that measure, this is a double.

Often, such a position will be a take. In this case, however, the opponent’s 6pt is open, and he has had to run off one of his anchors. I’ll guess that makes this a close pass in unlimited games. AtS, I don’t see much of a difference.
