Woolsey's Law Revisited

In Response To: Woolsey's Law Revisited (Stick)

I think it's been discussed (and known by many) for years that Woolsey's Doubling Rule is meant for money play and similar early matchscores.

I would only caution weaker players about using it because they could be chunking off large sums of equity sending over way early cubes (and then having to play out that position being the weaker player!) ....I wouldn't recommend it for Average Joe BG Player.

Well, isn't it possible that "Joe" is giving up just as much or even more equity by not doubling? You gotta learn sometime.

I've always been impressed by the arguments good players try and give weak players. Quite often it goes something like "(I don't want to see a cube coming over in a gammonish position, so,) weaker player, the best thing for YOU to do is to leave it be."
