Isn't this a gammon go spot?

The literal definition of "gammon-go" is that the score is 2-away, 1-away, Crawford, with the trailer on roll. In a more general sense, the gammon-go play is often correct at other scores when the trailer is on roll.

Neither of those describe this position where we are on roll, leading at 3-away, 8-away.

Hitting twice, K = 8/7* 6/1*, may cause us to win more gammons, but it will also cause us to lose more gammons. At gammon-go or a gammon-go-like score, losing a gammon does not leave you much worse off than losing a single game. Here, it does.

H (Hit) = 13/7*
