Snake eyes against a shaky backgame

10/9(2) not only allows opp to play a 6, giving up the high anchor, but also forces him to break his 6-point with {51,52,53,55}.

I don't see enough plus in leaving a blot on the 10-point, so 10/9 also with the 3rd 3.

Slotting a low open point is often good against a backgame, but I think those are well-timed backgames. With opp's highly respectable homeboard and severely questionable timing, 3/2 gives opp the opportunity to shun the failing backgame for a winnable frontgame. 6/5 is the kind of play that should give one pause, but here I think it fits the GP better than other aces.

10/9(3), 6/5
