Point on Him

I'm leaning towards 8/3* 7/3. It retains 4 builders for the 2 points left in our board, keeps opp farther back if he enters at 2 point, so we can come down from midpoint more comfortably. Also, gaps with spacing tend to be easier to bear-in against than adjacent ones. It just feels better.

Is it worth the extra 3 shots? It's 8,3%, after which we have a 61 or 11 jokers (call it 3/36 wins), and can hit loose with 2 more 1's (4/36 * 2/3 because of the blot = 2-3 /36 wins). So it's 5-6/36 return wins after 8,3% of his hits, which leaves ca. 7% deficit.

After the play I think we are somewhere near 70% win mark, with gammons of ca. 1/5 - 1/4 of our wins, say 15%. We should win few % more gammons after pointing on 3pt. (I'd guess 3-6%), which soothes some of the win % lost from those additional immediate shots.

I think merits of 8/3* 7/3 are worth it.
