Cube action
I overestimated my chances of winning, if I manage not to be hit. I thought, I would lose my market, which in many cases I would not. correct take from Dave.

Checker play
This came as a surprise to me! My thinking was like this: 6/1, 6/5 leaves two less shots, that is about 6% less losses, assuming I lose, when I get hit and win otherwise. I did not believe taking one man off could balance that.
Where did I go wrong? Well for one thing I do not win, if I am not hit. My actual winning chances may be around 75%. It seems taking one man off only increases those chances by about 2%. On the other hand, if being hit, I do not lose automatically and in fact in this case the additional man off seems to have a big impact on the winning chances (about 7%).
