We rolled a 6-1 and played the only legal move.

Now it's another cube decision for the box.

I thought this was a hard decision for blitzy, but  gnubg doesn't think it's close.  Presumably there are enough market losers to trigger the double here.

I also thought it was a clear take, when it's actually quite close - the take decision is within the margin of error.

The rollout refers to the previous cube decision, I think. And it turned out to be huge blunder for me not to double. It's a surprise to me that I would get that much gammons. However, if you change the match equity table to jacobs-100-points-fish-table then it's borderline. So I was thinking here I must be over 100 point better then forum... :D LOL.
