In Response To: Play 65 (Mr Majestyk)

The question is whether making a 5 point board immediately by making the 2 point out of order is worth giving 4/36 return shots (plus 3-6 out) and I wouldn't think so, so I'd play 17/6 for 4 builders for each of the empty points. If the roll were instead 54, making the 3 point in order (instead of the 2 point with 6-5) would give Player 1 a much stronger board and attack, make Opp much worse off with any entering nonhitting number, and not allow a 3-6 to escape, all for however many rolls it took Player 1 to not make the 6th home board point. In the original position, that 17/6 nearly doubles Opp's entering rolls hardly matters, since I don't mind if Opp enters with a 2.
