In Response To: Early game cube decision (DC-Ohio)

Here's my thinking:

This looks like a decent cubeturn (and Take). Doublets can lose your market, as can cover/fan and PoH/fan. Note that it's hard for White to turn this game around quickly (good doubling consideration), you have a BIG race lead (ditto), and White's best hope may be a backgame which may never materialize.

From White's PoV, it's early and there are good chances to anchor up. Blue hasn't escaped your board yet and the blitz, although possible, doesn't (yet) appear to be a big concern. The worst part of White's game is that it is going to take a while to build a board, with two builders already recirculated.

And if the above doesn't convince you, how about: Mary would cube this and I avoid arguing with her. :)
