In Response To: 6-3 from the bar (Timothy Chow)

I suspect that this may be an easy problem if you look at it the right way, but I'm still confused about how to approach it.

The short answer: Getting hit is bad, mmkay.

The long answer: 20/14 leaves 2s (11 shots) plus 10s (3 shots). 55 and 21 are dupedish. 64 leaves you with return 4s, 2s, and a 56 from the roof.

22/16 leaves 4s (14 shots) plus boxes (1 shot). Nothing is duped. Eights, twos, and aces hit loose on the 5 point. If you don't immediately hit back you are in bad shape. And you get double hit fairly often. Virtually everything hits somewhere at least once and puts pressure on you to perform. And rolls like 21 11 22 44 66 are absolute disasters. Only 55 and 22 are disaster rolls the other way.
