Prime or Blitz?

In Response To: Prime or Blitz? (Stick)

I would prime for a couple of reasons:

1. Priming gives White only a 3 to semi-escape, while PoH gives White 2's and 4's to semi-escape.

2. Attacking makes the 1pt and is very committal. Since White's offensive position is strong, committing to a blitz seems overreaching.

The main advantage of hitting is that it is a tempo play to prevent White from covering her blot, but I don't think that's enough to swing the decision.

There's still the question of what ace to play after 6/2. Slotting 5/4 is the most aggressive approach. The alternative is the mundane 7/6. I would go with 7/6 because slotting duplicates our 3's to hit and cover and doesn't seem to gain enough when it works to compensate for the risk of being hit.
