More cube action after taking my earlier post

Keene: Even considering reshipping this *must* be wrong. Its an insta-take-reship for the match, and surely you must know this, so you cannot redouble.
My response: As it is only a .021 error and I am willing to bet my house that in every match of 11 points or more you have made at least one error if not a dozen of that magnitude your comment *must* be wrong.
I dont disagree at all. You should see some of the errors I've been making in my training matches vs GNU. Make them all the time. However, I stand by comment - I could without a doubt see that this is an easy take-reship situation. I have learned to be more cautious the closer you get to these skewed scores, and have enough confidence that I can bring it home from the 90%+ MWC that a single win will give me here.
I suppose I thought that the take was so painfully obvious, I assumed that you would have known that OTB, and using a variation on Woolsey (If you are THAT sure its a take, then it possibly isnt a double), then you would have known not to reship it. And I honestly expected the error to be closer to a whopper - very surprised that it was this close.
Perhaps I am turning into one of those 'grey-hairs' that Ray referenced (although I hope not). Patience is becoming more a part of my game than it used to be. About 2 years ago, that cube would have flipped so fast. These days, I just tend to exercise some restraint a little more than I used to.
Either way, dont take it personally, I was just surprised that you flipped it. They do say that every roll is a new cube decision. Horrible still I think, but 0.021 isnt the short trip to BK that I anticipated.
