I agree a Next, 8/4 24/23. White has two blots and a mere four-prime. No reason to go full speed backwards. 23 point is much better than 24 point for now and later. If you play kamikaze (I expect 8/7*/3 is better than 8/7* 6/2), and get hit a couple of times, you might give White time to extend the prime and wreck your timing. Maybe he can play 6/2* and get recirculated, or at least keep you off your 23 point. The more checkers you have on the bar, the better such plans work for your opponent. Getting backgammoned can be bad for your health.
