I don't particularly like that way of expressing errors in percentages, but it is true that a 0.390 error in a money game reduces your equity by 39% of the current cube level. In matchplay, the analogous statement is clumsier: A 0.390 error reduces your equity by 39% of half the equity difference between winning and losing a number of points equal to the current cube level.

          • As a teacher, Phil is wrong to use the word “percent.”
