Generally speaking, it is dead wrong to ever pay when your opponent's hitting numbers are so costly to you and you have another decent alternative available. That would seem to be the case here except for the details. The blot on your opponent's ace point that has no covers is of paramount importance. Even if you are hit now your opponent can't possibly cover immediately and isn't likely to cover within' a couple turns. Your board is so strong any hit back, even when you'll be behind a 5 prime, will give you more a lot winning chances than most similar positions would yield. Still, I can't make myself do it with a reasonable alternative so pay later, 6/1 4/1

I have no idea why this is posted, clear the outer board points.

Blue on roll, cube action?

This looks so standard I won't bore you with the details. D/T.
