I took XG's cube below but was I steaming?
I don't know if you were steaming. X has some racing vig but it's
not enough by itself to justify a take. But X also has some shot
vig. X blots immediately with 66 65 42 22, and could blot later
as well. The combination of racing vig and shot vig would induce
me to take, but I think if it's a take, it's close.

Yes, a close take. You're exactly correct.
Funnily enough, when I took it, I (wrongly) assumed I was being reckless.
It's the type of position that Trice covers quite well:
The shot equity -- that ain't so good.
Racing vig feels quite fake.
But put em together and what have you got?
A nice little marginal take!
I'll post the rollout later -- it's on my computer.
