Too Good / Take

I know OTB I am definitely NOT doubling as white. While white doesn't win a ton of gammons, I think he wins enough to justify playing on. With only 4 bad numbers (I think) the risk is small. Also, white can double later, and if he loses his market it won't be that tragic.

I'm guessing that black eekes out 25% wins. Assuming black has to flee from the 4-point, he'll be playing a reasonable 3-point game, and that open 4-point may make life difficult for white. I might drop against a weak player.
