16 Cube from a chouette

If after a medium or larger brick from white, you dont want to redouble, or are possibly too good (depends on the brick), then you dont wish you had beavered it?

Additionally, I typically dont find beavers at odd match score situations. My opponents generally dont care for that kind of cavalier play and attitude. They get all mean and nasty and call directors for attempted beavers during a match.

Do I think this is NRD/Beaver? I am not sure, but I am certain this is ND/T at least. OTB, how do I behave? For very low stakes, I will beaver it - certainly spices the game up. For higher stakes, other people may beaver it (probably not me). I think its close to a legitimate beaver. I could be miles off in my assessment though. I dont rule that out.

I recall a chouette I was playing in with Petko a couple of years back - I think Sean Garber, possibly Ray, maybe some others were playing in it. I was in the box, had taken a boatload of cubes, and turned the game around. I got to a redouble position, and sent them all back over. I indeed acquired a number of drops, a couple of takes, and Petko beavered it. As I recall, I ended up losing 16pts to Petko (I took his recube after his beaver). This is what can happen when playing for low enough stakes. I have no idea what the position was.
