This came up in Nassau, and Mochy is Blue, playing Allen Tish and me as a team.
To set the stage, it is a 3 point match and either player may call his own roll one time each match. We are playing for $200.00 but if you win the match without using your Bazuki, you make $300.00.
Blue leads 1away/2away Crawford and is on roll. He can use his Bazuki and win $200 or not use it and take his chances to try to win $300.
The first question is: what should Blue do?
If Blue does not use his Bazuki, what should White do? Obviously White should just roll if Blue rolls a 1 or 2, but what if Blue doesn’t roll a 1 or 2? Is White better off just rolling and hoping to roll double 4, 5, or 6, or should he use his Bazuki and win the game and play DMP without a Bazuki but his opponent has one?
What if Blue doesn’t use his Bazuki and rolls a 65, and White doesn’t use his Bazuki and rolls 65, should Blue use his Bazuki or should he just roll and hope he doesn’t roll a 1?
