Consumption be done about it? I think Blue absolutely has to attack, and I'd use one 3 to make a 3 point board to pick up 5 more fanning numbers. So then the only ways to play the remaining two 3's are 13/7* and 6/3(2). In favor of 6/3(2): no outfield blots (so White can't send another back), no anchor for White except with 6-1, a double shot at the other blot and no duplication of attacking 5's. In favor of 13/7*: a stronger offense if White enters without anchoring, eithe rmaking the 7 or 5 point or attacking the 3 point (without having to remake the 6!). The switching play has merit, but I'm not convinced it's best. I'd play bar/22 13/7* 4/1.
