I suspect the vast majority of people would anchor up here (though I've been wrong before) & OTB Senkiewicz actually made the hitting play. It's almost reflexive to anchor up here I think but the 3 anchor is never a bargain in my mind. By anchoring up you leave Blue free to do everything next turn, and his numbers are so well diversified he is doing something very good next turn, either making his own 4 or 5 pt or making your 5 pt. It's true the hit strips the 8 & will most likely be hit back but it's the lesser of the two evils. It keeps your game plan open and Blue off balance. You may even get lucky and have Blue roll 6-X from the bar and they really don't play that well.
