In Response To: 5-3 (poseidon)

At a normal score I wouldn't want to break anchor despite White's two blots, and would play 8/5 8/3. At (effectively) DMP, running is relatively more attractive. Of the running plays, it looks like 21/18 21/16 is slightly better because it makes it harder for White to hit and cover than 21/13 does, and it also gives Blue a chance to make another outfield blocking point.

Still not sure whether I should run. I think that White's potential attack is stronger than her two blots make it look, and Blue's board is still mediocre, but Blue is running a little short of time and White's board will only get stronger. OTB I'd probably chicken out with 8/5 8/3 but I won't be surprised if running is correct.
