With one on the bar, you should be aggressive and pull (5/o 4/o), since if White enters you're in bad shape anyway. With two on the bar, I'd play safe (6/2 6/1). You're a big favorite here. If it were money, you would have redoubled White out before the roll anyway.

Don't know any good rules of thumb for these, but I'd like to hear them. With one on the bar, White has 9 crossovers to bear off, while you have 13 or 15. With two on the bar, White has 16 crossovers to bear off (and of course he's unlikely to get in on the first roll, even though 66 would kill you).
