OTB I was playing someone extremely strong so all I wanted to do was to make the technically best play. I hit and stepped up to the 20 pt, but didn't feel quite right about it. Soon after getting attacked and it dawned on me that I'd seen this discussed a few years ago and that I recalled that making the 20 pt was a bit better. Here's a new RO.
