After looking at the rollouts...

I think Problems 1 and 6 underscore how "redundant" it is to own both the 8pt and the 2pt. I did briefly consider 2/1 in both problems but not seriously enough.

In Problems 4 and 8, I feel I had the right idea but just overlooked the bot play entirely.

In Problem 10, 20/15 20/14 was actually the play I considered first, but then 20/9 looked better to me. I'm amazed at the equity differences! I guess 20/15 20/14 puts a lot of pressure on O's straggler even though it's not technically a direct shot, and on the flip side, 20/9 gives O several joker rolls that attack the straggler. O's rolls that totally disengage after 20/15 20/14 are pretty good for her in any case.
