In Response To: Toughest 52 of my life (Stick)

For many years, players in my chouette have been saying that, in general, they believe that 5-2 is the worst roll in backgammon. Of course, there are times that 5-2 is just the perfect roll. In this problem, White is winning the race; I'd play bar/20 and get his 5 point;and, perhaps 13/11- making this point in case hit on my 5 point. So, let me ask: What roll do you consider to be the worst roll in backgammon, in general?
