1. ND/T

Up in the race but the Position and Threats seem pretty weak and this could easily swing into whites favour. If white I'm wondering if it's a beaver.

2. 19/14 16/14

Here's a problem I should know the answer to considering how many times it comes up. 7/2* 7/5 kills my asset. I'd like my checker on the 14 point to make the 6 prime if white doesn't roll the 6. If white does roll the 6 then I'd rather 66 not but I'd also like the return shots. 6/2 might be better than 16/14 but I can rationalize outfield coverage, blocking 6's and preparing to prime, with a kicker of pointing on whites head if he doesn't roll a 6 right now. I won't be shocked to be wrong on this and the correct play actually involves avoiding the direct shot.

I've argued myself back and forth on this position many times.

3. 7/2

Not the best roll in the bunch. Tempting to hit here with 15/11 5/4*. What a blot fest that would be. 7/6 7/4 is passive but no worse. 15/11 is nice but the 2/1 with it is not so nice. Duplication of 3's is an idea I've abused and7/2 might just be a good way of getting pistol whipped. It does however give blue a 4 point board. I'm picking duplication and waiting to see whether white cubes next roll. Do I take or drop next roll?
