In Response To: What is "Stick's rule"? (Timothy Chow)

His rule has to do with doubling when you're 3a, with average + gammon chances, and leading in the match. It's seldom correct to double in such positions - you're either TG, not good enough, or both TG and not good enough. That's approximately his rule, IIRC. So ND in this position.
