No Cube for me. 
Tell me it is not a cube

I also lured the fish and ended with the bait in my mouth.

Correct me if I am wrong, you should never (ok very rarely) offer the cube when you are up 2a-3a

It changes the dynamics from you being ahead to winner take all.

You should double in big race lead with no contact (except anchor). And then it's almost always pass. But in this position there is still contact so, no cube. That's my rule. Correct me someone if I'm wrong.
