In Response To: MCG vs. Neil Cube action? (Matt Cohn-Geier)

This is the kind of position that I screw up all the time trying to protect a lead. You see lots of ways to fall on your face and fear you'll soon be staring at a 4 cube and get gammoned. So over the board, I am sure I'd look at this as I do every other time and would settle for losing my market and cashing next turn. But there are a large number of market losing sequences here with a few crushers. And blue is 16 pips up in the race. And blue can certainly use 4 points here. Does blue lose that many gammons to be too scared of a 4-cube? I don't think so. This has all the hallmarks of a cube.

But my action would be ND/T. I would not at all be surprised if this were a cube. And anyone feeling that they are a solid underdog against Neil, frankly should go for the jugular here and try to end the match. I'm not so sure how happy he'd be to see the cube here against a much weaker player. My guess is that like me, Matt did not double this and lived to regret it.
