Default Re: Why no backgammon discussion?

Im in boulder, co. We have a club here that meets every week for a no rake $10+side bets tourney, but I havnt been able to go yet. Knowing when to double is something I want to get a handle on too. To get started, maybe i could pose a sort of grass roots question. Assuming neither player has an otherwise positional advantage, is it correct for a player with a 1 pip lead to double early? An analogy might be raising with a 2% edge in limit poker. Its obviously correct, eventhough you are reopening the betting for him and he at least has odds to call. Discuss.
