The primary question here you should ask yourself is "how fucked am I if I pay now and get hit?" Answer - pretty fucked. Your opponent's board is powerful and over half his hitters make that a 5 prime. This is the main argument.

Another thing of note is while your position may appear stripped in most cases you should be able to easily clear one point, creating builders, and go from there. Your opponent does not have an anchor meaning you may get lucky and point on him, pick & pass pushing him forward, or even roll small doubles kicking him off the deuce point, all good scenarios for you.

At most when forced to leave a shot it will be a single and your opponent's position will only be a tweak stronger than it is now. It's best to give yourself a couple of shakes and hope to squirm your way home shotless.
