Cube action

This looks somewhat TG for me. White has major issues getting home and often will get one checker hit and then another and be reduced to hoping to save a G.

At real stakes I'd only cube a steamed millionaire to 32 here and one who I was sure would pay.

My experience with cubes at this level in positions like this where a steamed opp who doesn't intend to pay if he loses a huge number takes here abd the recubes to 64 when it not clear who's winning hasn't been pleasant.

I could buy another Lamborghini with the money I lost from similar positions and throwing big cubes like this back when I played lots and lots for money. Some of that is bcuz the opp got "lucky" and won (usually after throwing a very early 64 cube back) but most of it is due to being stiffed after winning 300 or 400 pts for the session.

Now if you're in a typical $3 chouette with people you see every week, you'll likely get paid so send it over at 32 and hope someone takes.

Technically slightly TG, HUGE PASS.

Of course Matt is kidding about beavering. Also this position could easily come up as Blue was plaing for a G and tossed a double blotting 63 and had both hit.
