Cube action ATS?

In Response To: Cube action ATS? (John O'Hagan)

1) White's take point here is 6.75% 2) Using the Trice adjustments, white is +1 for the outside checker but -1 for blue having 2 open points and white only having one. the adjusted pip count is the 96 - 76. 3) Using Kleinmann's formula for estimated equity, I get 90.26% equity for blue. So this is a take with an automatic re-cube. 4) I'm not sure that this is good enough to double yet. (Granted in these positions, I don't know how close you have to be to the take point to double.) I estimate it is right on the border of no double/double. With these when the opponent has a automatic re-cube for the match, I've been told it is better to hold off until you are certain. 5) But then again, who am I playing? This may be right to double if I am playing against someone better than me.
