For money (11,5) wins a little over .5% more, wins about a little less than 1% more gammons, and loses about 3/4 of a percent more gammons. At this score, your opponents doubled gammons gain him a little more than normal and you have no recube vig, therefore you should make the play (23,11) that leads to more advanced anchors and away from prime-versus-prime games. You would love this game to be played with a frozen 2-cube and no gammons allowed. Making the play that leads to more advanced anchors is what you should strive for. Also, because you must pass gammon threats a little more often than usual, since his gammon price is slightly higher than normal and you have no recube vig, it appears, from your rollout, that (11,5) only wins .16% more at this score, which is not worth the extra gammon losses it carries.
