Cube action?

Depending on how you go through the rolls in your head here is how I figure you would label all the rolls.

All doubles = great to fine.

65, not good but not exactly horrible. What I call a pending roll, it could be very good or very bad depending on how your opponent replies.

63, terrible leaves a direct shot. (and doesn't put anyone on the bar)

61, basically the same category as 65.

54, pretty bad but at least it puts a man up while leaving the direct shot.

This isn't particularly a large list of 'awkward rolls' esp. when some of them have the potential to end up being very good rolls over 2/3rds of the time. Maybe you gave more weight to the other non good rolls like 43, 41, 32? There are a lot of gammon losses here and it's tough for the opponent to both maintain his board, keep contact, and find a shot to hit.
