We have positions like this come up often in our chouette, and there is never a big problem. We disagree, we make a bet, we put it in one of our computers if handy or if not, in XG Mobile, and settle the bet. Often we text the position to Stick and not only get a quick, good answer, but we get a reminder of what donkeys we are to even be debating such an obvious question.

We often text a picture to Stick not only because we get a good, quick answer, but we know how much it drives him crazy that he's not in Chicago in our chouette where he would be cleaning up because we have people that don't know about these obvious decisions.

As for the one you are showing, it looks like a pretty clear double and take. The take is easy, as any time you know you have a redouble/pass (or could be too good) if missed, it almost has to be a take unless you are going to get hit 27 times and get gammoned a lot when you get hit; and you know it's a take simply by counting market losers and possible gammons both ways. This is not a really complicated position for a seasoned player.
