Why not 5 point?

I don't see any reason not to make the 5 point. White doesn't have the bar point yet, and he might never make it, so I don't feel a strong urge to split if there is such a good alternative.

I think making the 5 point puts blue ahead in both attacking and priming games and it puts big pressure on his split checkers - for example with 21 he has to make anchor instead of hitting or making the bar point. With 61 he has to run and hit instead of making a 5 prime.

And that's also a small bonus - 1s are duplicated and in particular 61 which is probably one of his best rolls anyway
