I will first post the rollout result of the original position. I will then post the rollout result of a similar position.
32S-53P-21@-21$-65$-33 Why didn't I give the sequence in my original post? Because I did not want to deprive Nack the pleasure of figuring it out on his own.

21$-33B-42
Decades ago I saw Billy Horan make the 9pt instead of covering the 5pt. Billy was one of the world's best players from the mid 1970s through the mid 1990s, ranked #3 on the 1995 Giants' List. By "Billy Horan Play," I mean making the 9pt or 10pt instead of covering the 5pt.
