In Response To: How many is too many? (Michael Depreli)

Naturally we'd like to fill in the 7pt and the 9pt. Also, 6/3 is a good way to use a 3, activating an otherwise dormant checker; later we can either make the 3pt or aim to recycle that checker depending on circumstances. The purpose of hitting, other than to increase gammon wins, is to prevent White from making those points, which could hem in our straggler and/or inhibit us from slotting too freely when building our prime.

With all that in mind, I'm inclined to play 10/9 6/3 at DMP. For money, maybe it's better to hit one, with 24/21* 10/9 or 24/21* 6/5. I don't like hitting two when we have productive slotting moves available.
