White is Player 2

score: 0
pip: 172
1 point match
pip: 65
score: 0

Blue is Player 1
XGID=a--B-BBB---A-A---A--ddCAd-:0:0:-1:42:0:0:0:1:10
Blue to play 42

Yes entering on 21 seems more important than deciding whether to hit or not.

My thinking exactly.

What if the roll is 4-3, then you enter on 21 and must decide whether to hit 5/2* or pass 4/1?

I would not hit. The runner on the 21pt is relatively safe. White has a direct shot from his bar point, but all his other shots are indirects. There does not seem to be any need for a tempo hit. Blue does not need the complication of a 2nd checker having to run the gauntlet.
