Is this a Take or a Pass btw? I haven't seen the rollouts.

I generally wait at least 24 hours on BGO before posting a rollout. As you've probably noticed, it's up now.

By the way, I have a general comment/question for you (which is perhaps more relevant to some posts you've made on rec.games.backgammon, but I'm temporarily having trouble posting there). I've noticed that you sometimes start by listing "market-losing sequences," and then later on you say that you don't have any idea what is going on with the take decision (because it's a strange score, perhaps). I don't understand how you can talk about market-losing sequences if you have no clue about the take. By definition, for something to be a market-losing sequence, two things have to be true:

1. It's a take now.

2. It's not a take after the sequence.

But if you have no idea about the take, then how can you judge either of these things?

By a "market-losing sequence," do you just mean "a sequence that leads to a big improvement"? If so, then I think it's confusing for you to refer to it as a "market-losing sequence" if you're not sure whether (a) your market has already been lost or (b) your market will be lost after the sequence.
