In Response To: Killing the fetish point (Matt Ryder)

Thanks, Matt.

It's unclear to me if you realize that after 62D (Down, 13/11 13/7), Opp will not hit with 61 51 41 21, and even if one or more of these rolls turn out to be closely correct hits, the ace duplication still has a lot of value). I hinted at this when I referred to 31 11 and not the other hits but I could have elucidated.

As in the other positions illustrated (62S-31P-66 and 65R-62S-31P-66), quality of hit is an important factor; that is, the value of Opp's hits (which are 14 vs 11 or 14 vs 3, depending on how you count -- quality and quantity are tied together in a sense) are much greater on your 4pt than on your midpoint. Maybe that will help.
