In Response To: Ask Robertie (Chuck Bower)

In the opening, if you're opponent makes the 5 point (or even the 4 point) splitting is thematic. Splitting to the 22 is clearly better than the 23 as it attempts to make a better advanced anchor and isn't blocked by the 8 point.

The eleven point has much less value now than you have made your own 5 point. 6/5 is better than 22/21 due to diversification.
