This position came up in our local club tourney this past Saturday. I played 4/2*(2) and that is correct for money. It looked close between this play and 9/6 1/off at DMP but switching points certainly wins more gammons. You can win a g if Black dances forever or after the 54-5x sequence. Switching from 4 to 2 is better than from 3 to 2 since it's easier to clear against a phantom 4 point game than a 3.

Gammons are meaningless at DMP so 9/6 1/off comes out on top. This play leaves no blotting numbers on your next shake, gives you a handful of jokers that PoH or switch, while only 66,64,54 leave a position where you will probably have to leave a direct shot. Remember that leaving a 17/1 fly shot now gets hit more often than leaving no shots now but a position where 6 of your next rolls leave an eleven number direct shot next time (2/36 x 36/36 vs. 6/36 x 11/36).
