In Response To: -3,-7 cube action (Keene)

To me, the decision of when to double at 3-away is on average the most difficult.

I am guessing that it is technically a very close decision. And every time I decide not to double these, I get zinged. So probably double. However practically speaking I would never double this. With this much contact, and a huge deficit in the score, there is just too much of a chance that white is going to take a pass later. For example, say blue rolls 44 or 55. How many people still take the following roll feeling desparate, seeing two anchors and hoping to send back a 4-cube and even the score?
