I dont think you've found the window here. I may be wrong, but I will play on, because I simply dont want my opponent holding a 2cube in this position - it doesn't take much for white to suddenly have a strong game, and it takes too much for blue to get out of the woods without having a significant amount of bear poop on his shoes.

Translation: ND/T

Sticks rule: you should just play on at 3-away, 5 or more away, because the doubling window is too small. You are either too good or not good enough most of the time.

Keene's thing: Don't be a hero. Unless you need to be heroic.
