In Response To: making a virtue out of necessity (neilkaz)

a) It looks to be almost a .01 error theoretically to cube it.

b) Note that getting your opponent to drop it is not really the issue. Your avg PR is going against the field and is averaged over 5 matches. What the cube gains is the stronger chance of the game getting played out. If you lose your market and cash you lose the chance to play several very easy racing moves to help out PR. Gaining this is surely worth something, but how much? It is one of the several drawbacks to the PR approach they used.
