I'm not sure that Blue's threat to pound White's blots and roll home is the most potent threat in this position. It's not that unlikely that White will enter and have a reasonably well-timed backgame. Meanwhile Blue could roll 44 and crunch, or escape the front checker and roll 55 or 44 and crunch. I think White has an easy take here, especially trailing 11a9a. As Blue I would be inclined to hold the cube but am not sure about that.
