Pottle? Make the full prime? Make the deuce point?

Blue will be slightly behind in the race after this play, so I don't think Pottling is the way to go. Too much risk for little reward.

Making a full prime looks impressive, but i'll need to abandon the midpoint to do so. Seems like my best strategy is to hit a shot (i haven't counted, but it looks like white's awkward structure should give up a shot before long - abandoning my midpoint lets pressure off of her midpoint checkers - think of how she can play 12 and 16.

That says keep the midpoint so I make the deuce point. 11/5 7/2 is worth a look, but why slot when you can make a point?

8/2 7/2
