Very clever to only post positions where you are clobbering Stick. It is a very SUBTLE way to show your superiority. I'll have to remember that in the future.

If you double this, you are a bozo. At some earlier score you may well provoke a pass, and it might even BE a pass, but you are "messing with Sasquatch" when he is down 0-8 here.

This kind of doubling is mildly satisfying when it works... cuz you win a little faster. It is devastating when you double, get re-whipped and the guy tosses 55, perhaps hitting along the way, and you lose 4 or more points on your way to LOSING this match. In short: The ends don't justify the means.

Think of Stick as a mighty tree, not a twig.

Doubling is like using a chain saw to cut him down. Faster, but more dangerous.

A great writer once wrote: When ahead of me, like the beaver be...

A beaver will bring down this tree just as surely as the chain saw. But he will do it more slowly and SAFELY. Put on your hard hat and go to work with your teeth.
