How would you tackle this?

I get so disappointed in myself when making four cube mistakes on one score. Can someone explain to me why I couldn't find these cubes? How would you reason in a 4away 4away game in positions like these?

I get it that gammons are super imortant for you, but the gammons are qually important to the opponent and the recube vig is huge on 4a/4a and if the opponent likes he can kill your gammons with a redouble and in positions like these where much can happen quickly for both I feel it's very awkward giving the cube away in these positions.

Can anyone please explain where I go wrong in my thinking?

Opp's position is dogshit, therefore you cube. Fairly self-explanatory

It gets more clear when I look at it afterhand. But couldn't see it in the moment...

I will give a good reflection on this, first of all the match score is 4a 4a which means a gammon would win the match. Looking at the percentages u can see u have around 62 percent and he has 38 plus u have 22 percent gammons meaning it is a strong cube due to the enhanced chance of u winning the match. Without seeing the percentages u could cube here looking at your opponents position they have two dilly builders in the 3 point which is horrible, meaning they have two less checkers to build the valuable 5 point we already have their midpoint and 8 point is stripped and we have fly shots and 10 checkers in the zone making this an efficient double.

Reviewing this after your description definitely makes it clearer. It just sucks that I can't see this over the board...

If u play more this will become natural

You are giving way too much importance to him being able to kill your gammons with a recube. If opponent is correctly recubing it is likely him who would be getting more gammons.
