"There was also discussion in this thread on what is easier to memorize, a match equity table or take points. It is more useful to know the match equity table at least out to 5 away 5 away and then after that you can use Neil's numbers for basically everything else."

But if beyond the takepoints you also had the give points and the gammon prices then that info would be much more useful than the MET.

"turns out that between the 3 players I polled, myself, John O'Hagan, and David Rockwell and all our years of combined experience we have actually had the need to use this OtB twice"

That is an amazing statement. Maybe you hardly ever used it but maybe you just never realized when it would have helped. For example you have a 2 cube and are losing 4 away 3 away. It is useful to know that the window is about 31 to 60% for you right away. As another example JOH recently made a post where he didn't understand why one score was a double but the other wsa not. If he had calculated (or had already memorized) the give point for those scores it would have helped understand that situation immensely.
