Small tournament without Crawford - Advice needed

In Response To: Small tournament without Crawford - Advice needed (ah_clem)

Well, with the Crawford rule in place the live gammonless takepoints range from about 17% to about 26% in a 5 point match (ignoring the easy post-crawford and 2a2a cube actions), which is not that different than for money. A beginner who just treats all scores as if they are money won't be all that far off.

Depends on how far off "all that far off" is? Counterexamples:

0-0/5, Blue on roll

Position ID: DwAAAAoAAAAAAA Match ID: UQmgAAAAAAAE

Cube decision
2-ply cubeless equity +0.4997(Money: +0.4997)
0.7499 0.0000 0.0000 - 0.2501 0.0000 0.0000
Cubeful equities:
1.Double, pass +1.0000
2.Double, take +1.1228 +0.1228
3.No double +0.6051 -0.3949
Proper cube action:Redouble, pass

Above, a blunder to take at the score, an easy take for money.

2-0/5, Blue on roll

Alert: wrong double ( -0.2043)!

Cube decision
2-ply cubeless equity +0.0556(Money: +0.0556)
0.5278 0.0000 0.0000 - 0.4722 0.0000 0.0000
Cubeful equities:
1.No double +0.0556
2.Double, pass +1.0000 +0.9444
3.Double, take -0.1487 -0.2043
Proper cube action:No redouble, take (17.8%)

Above, a 0.204 EMG whopper to redouble at the score, an easy last-roll redouble for money.
