I don't think I've gotten a PoD cube decision right in a month. Can I break that string here? (What's the LV line? :)

I have a rule of thumb for a single (unbarred) checker vs. a single straggler: 9 is a Take, 8 is ballpark borderline. In reality other conditions can enter into the decision making, such as trailer's homeboard strength and leader's ability to avoid getting in range.

Add a trailer on the bar and whom does that favor, relatively speaking? Note that Blue getting to the {12-,11-,10-pts) duplicates entering and hitting rolls, plus the obvious 25% fanning numbers. {63,64,65,54} give White a single direct shot here but directs exist in the ref-pos situation, too. And then there are those outlier G's.... I guess I should ask the "is it too good?" question. OK, I did say "outlier G's."

R+P.
