In Response To: Not your everyday cube action (Timothy Chow)

Normally, I don't cube a five point holding game until I have a race lead that would be a cube without contact. But this is a pretty weird holding game, and the score matters a lot.

White's takeppoint is 25% That's easy to see, but I don't have a good feel for blue's double point. A win gets him to Crawford and that's worth a lot.

I may be being a donkey here, but I'd wait until I was fairly sure I had a cash, or at least close to it. White seems to be more than 25% here due to the race - blue can't simultaneously maintain the blockade and take a race lead.
