In Response To: Match Equity 101 (Stick)

In my experience, a lot of players are willing to memorize take points, but unwilling to memorize gammon values. For these individuals, I recommend grouping the gammon value into four categories and memorizing these (or deducing them from common sense):

1. zero - zero or significantly less than money

2. money - .50 or very close to .50

3. elevated - between money and 1.0

4. GG - 1.00 or higher

This should get one through the majority of matchplay decisions.
