I take a different approach than John. My approach is non-numeric. Nothing wrong with John's approach. Frankly, I wish I were smart enough to be able to do it John's way.

I first decide what I would do for money and then I consider how cube action at this score differs from money cube action and by how much.

Looks like I would ship it for money. I see lots of market losing sequences, even when your first roll is not a double. Examples: loose hit with 53 62 54 followed by a fan or bad entry. Also, 42 (making the 9pt) followed by many rolls should be a pass. Even 65, bringing in two builders, followed by many rolls looks like a pass.

Those silly builders on the 4pt hurt White's flexibility. White would be better off if both were on the 6pt.

With Blue winning lots of gammons in this position, White passes much earlier than for money and Blue therefore doubles much earlier than for money.

Double/Take.
