Splitting with that 61 looks too risky. 6-5 with the ace leaves fewer blots and might cause some players to not double (not Sam though). If White correctly doubles, I think you're supposed to pass after either 61 play. Your takepoint is around 20% plus 100% of White's g's. The latter is probably around 20% and I doubt your cubeless chances are 40% in this position.
