I played this online and am not sure how to make/show a diagram or whatever, so I apologize for that up front. This came from a match, but I'm curious as to the decision without including match factors. Also, I'd rather someone not just tell me the GNU/Snowie analysis, as I have GNU. I'm trying to understand the cube from a qualitative perspective, and if someone can help me work through this in words that would be awesome. Anyway, on to the decision
1. Opponent wins opening roll with 54 and plays 13/8 and 24/20
2. I throw my miracle 33 and play 8/5*(2) and 6/3(2)
3. Opponent dances
4. Cube decision?
Is this too early? I do feel as though I have good threats as Bill says are necessary - 66, 42, 53, and any seven (although with 61 I would imagine I should be making my bar rather than hitting). Also of course there are other good rolls, they just arent big "threats" (44 and 33, for example).
I doubled, is this bad?
