Stick moves 21/15 10/6. After the last exchange we've come to a spot where me running is now a serious option. First of all, I'll be up 6 pips after roll meaning if I was able to turn it into a straight race I'd be a very small favorite. I have to look ahead a couple of rolls and imagine what will happen. If I play 15/11 10/4 in as little as two turns I'd start wasting pips or have to run off my back anchor. Your board also may be in a bit better shape and you would be able to attack a lone stragler, all this points to running so far.
Also by running out with 21/15 I keep pressure on all areas of the board. The readers structure is so piss poor that you'll most likely have to bury checkers behind me from your 8 pt. You won't be able to break the 12 or 13 pts. in all likelyhood because it would force a direct shot. There are few perfecta #s that pick & cover and you're very reluctant right now to hit and leave a direct w/my board being as strong as it is. I think anchoring up in the outfield is clear.

Stick moves 7/3 6/4(2). Snowie thinks bringing them all in with 7/5(2) instead of 7/3 is better but I prefer keeping a spare in the outfield for the near future. (it's true that I'll play sixes from the 21 pt., Snowie may be right, rollout to come)

Stick moves 15/9 5/1. The six is forced, after this I wish I had a decent four to play w/out doing something semi-trashy in my board but it's more important to keep a six than to not waste pips. Playing 5/1 puts a checker on my ace point, which should be slightly more useful for the race than 6/2.
