In Response To: Death Trap Score: -2/-4 (Daniel Murphy)

I also understand Timothy's point: theoretically, not doubling gains when things go bad and you go into ND territory; not doubling loses when things go well and you get into DP or TGTD territory. Now, if you know that opponent is going to take late, some of the losses of not doubling are eliminated; so your balance to doubling later.

I think Steve and Timothy both understand completely what is going on, but express it differently.
