Backgammon: Woolsey's Law (Lesson 118)

[@danielsrensen1837]

When I first heard of Woolseys Law, I thought of it as an aggressive approache to cubing, but now I am convinced that its quite a conservative one that vastly reduces missed doubles. Having said that, many cubes are still missed when the takes are easy. Probably next level knowing that.

As every law, be careful. If e.g. your oponent is less skilled or much better the decision could be different.

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Adjustment helps, for sure, but you can also bluff and get your opponent to take a pass or even a too good position

Even if you know the opponent is a big taker?🤔 I never double in this situations😂one of my friends is a big taker and he takes the double and gets a bunch of jokers and turns the table always😐😂and gives me 4 cube😐🤦‍♂️what's the best cube action for those lucky double taker opponents?😂

[@BackgammonisBeautiful]

Just try to make the correct cube action and don't worry about it. I wouldn't adjust too much :)
