In Response To: Who's holding whom? (Snua)

Why is the blot not in danger? Would you not hit with 54?

I count 20 return shots so with White having the racing lead already, hitting is not an automatic advantage for white. That said, I'm sure I'd hit with 54, especially if blue made my play leaving two blots in his homeboard. The point is that hitting doesn't gain white much equity since the blot will just enter and recirculate.
