In Response To: preparing for eventual shot (Bob Koca)

I might be tempted to break the rule that you shouldn't volunteer a shot in a holding game given the two blots to shoot at. But the race will be even after this move (instead of blue being up) so that's probably not the right idea - a big risk to get to 50-50? Still let's look at the running options:

18/7 is blot city. I don't think so.

18/13 9/3 - nice homeboard, daring white to hit, but a double shot with many hit and cover rolls.

I do like covering the 3, so either 9/3 or 8/3, then look around for a good six or 5. I'll try 6/5 - save a transition, with a good chance of remaking the 6 later.

9/3 6/5.
