Woolsey's Doubling Rule double for me.

5-2 and 5-3 leave immediate direct shots. Then White still has to hit. White's race is worse than the pipcount says because of the pips required just to get home. The pipcount alone would be a borderline pass. Does the shot equity make up for the racing deficit (here 'deficit' means the extra required to make this a racing take)? Note that simply hitting doesn't win the game for White because of the crunched homeboard.

Could be making a mistake (what else is new), but I pass this.

Summary: D+P.
