Ho-Hum 61

It's tempting to force White to leave a double shot with 61 by playing 13/7 5/4 (I assumed 5/4 is the best ace as suggested by Tim). However, when White rolls 51, playing 13/8, I cannot hit and cover with 14 or 13. I wouldn't have this problem if I had covered the 4 point with 11/4. Also, by leaving a blot on the mid-point, I am giving White the option to hit and lift with the remaining 1's.

So, I would play 11/4 covering the 4 point. With a five point board made, I can always come back to the idea of leaving a blot on the mid-point.
