Sam I am: But we can talk about the other side of the equation: if you're the stronger player, you do want to be careful about the 4- and 8-cubes you accept, even if they look like clear takes theoretically.

Ray Say: Again an example of making a bad play based on a superiority complex. If it is a take, take it. Skill or no skill it's never really wrong to do the right thing. Perhaps you should have considered the effects of 4 or 8 cubes when you sent over your initial double, maybeeeeeeee? When it comes right down to it, taking or passing a 4 cube incorrectly magnifies the mistake. .050 on a 2 cube is 0.1, on a 4 cube it becomes 0.2, the same percentage of error, but a larger integer. The 4 or 8 cube mistake exerts greater influence over the match because it affects a higher percentage of the total score.

He's weak, so I am not taking this 4 cube... (?)
