A Ohaganistic position perhaps?

[J R]

The below position is a very thin double and a huge take.
(I missed the double).
Our strength isn't so much that our position is so marvellous, but rather
that we have quite a few crushing market losers.
Since this is right on the border between doubling and holding, I'd expect
to see an approx 25% probability of us getting a market losing sequence,
and that's probably a decent estimate.
I think this position Ohaganizes quite well.

One possible reason for the fact that it seems like a bigger double to you
is that it is a bigger double.
Would you (or Tim) like to post the rollout?
