Posted By: John O'Hagan In Response To: 12a-7a recube action? (John O'Hagan)
Date: Saturday, 15 July 2023, at 2:14 p.m.
I had this position a few days ago in an online match. It went R/T and that is correct. The leader won't get much value from owning a 4 cube ATS since the trailer's 8 cube tp in anything but a last roll of the game position will be ~8-9%. The trailer can be much more aggressive than normal in doubling if the leader will then have a dead or nearly dead cube. A good rule for the trailer at these kind of scores is to double or redouble if you have 3-4 market losers and are within 8% of the leader's tp. If you have more than a few market losers, you can turn the cube even if you're more than 8% away from the leader's tp. Here XG says the leader's tp is ~32% and he wins ~42% so you're more than 8% away from an efficient recube. However you have more than a few market losers: 66, 6-x and fan, the 6 numbers that cover the ace followed by a 6. There are a few anti-jokers of course but not enough to keep this from being a recube.
