RE: Interesting question/experiment about value of cube ownership

MK "Those numbers are based on how the bot would play against itself. If you 
accept the bot's decisions as best/perfect and if you try to play just like 
bot, assuming that your opponent will also try to play just like the bot, of 
course you wouldn't/shouldn't double."

Agreed. Against a worse player, you can take with fewer winning chances. If 
your opponent will give up enough equity in errors to overcome the error of the 
bad take (and your own subsequent errors), then you should still come out ahead.
