I made the 3rd best move

I would play the anti-positional-looking b/22, 24/21, 5/2*(2). Although it does mess up my beautiful prime, I think it's more important to reduce the number of rolls which White can use to cover his 9 point by putting him on the bar. Also, 24/21 gets to the edge of the prime if White enters and makes a five prime. At this score, I have to be more concerned about losing a gammon and stopping White from building a five prime is a big step in gammon protection (less chances of crunching my forward position). The biggest plus of switching points, 5/2*(2), are White's nine dancing numbers and the awkward numbers from bar, 16 and 56. After any of these rolls, I have a double shot at his nine point blot and small numbers to rebuild my 5 point.
