In Response To: To take or not to take (TheProdigy)

The rule of thumb for money-like scores is that three points in front of a well-timed backgame is D/T. Here your timing is not excellent since you're somewhat crunched, and even if you hit a shot it will be difficult to contain the hit checker. As compensation, White's formation is somewhat awkward. If he rolls 5-4 you get an immediate double shot, and several other rolls increase his shot jeopardy next roll.

I think I would take but I think it's close.
