In Response To: Philosophical Question on 'Wrong D/P is not an Error' (Gregg Cattanach)

Sorry, Gregg...I do not understand your point.

What about those times when you doubled early and got a drop that, had you not doubled, you would have played on and lost? There you got a huge swing by doubling early and getting a drop.

I find it hard to argue against gaining 20% equity by a wrong double/wrong drop vs. gaining 10% by a right doulble/wrong drop or right double/take. What am I missing (aside from brains)?
