In Response To: Rollout(s) (ah_clem)

Hard to say without knowing your opp. Carlo mentioned that he felt that his opponent was experienced, but would misplay this position. That might argue for taking. I think Carlo's opponent play of 55 immediately gives up some 0.15 in equity (EMG) I think, so Carlo may be on to something.

I am not sure why so many of you seem to find this an easy position for Chocolate. After playing it a few times, I know I find it difficult to figure out how best to control the outfield, position the spares on the prime, decide whether or not to trap depending on how many points opponent has retained, if you decide to trap which point of the prime to give-up, should you leave hittable blots to increase outfield coverage and timing and if so, under what conditions, ...

I think the difference in the 1- and 3-ply roll-out also indicates it is a tough position for Chocolate.
