LA Overflow Doubles Position

You can split (22/20, 5/4), slot (5/2), or neither (7/4).

The slot seems an unnecessary risk (making opp's 6-1 a fantastic roll). Blue likely will make the 2-point in the future and if White's game goes to hell, Blue may not even need it.

Splitting protects against Blue's upcoming 3-3 and 4-4 (most of the time, that is). Blue doesn't need to send more checkers back, but will probably accept that.

7/4 delays giving up the anchor for ~1 roll. I don't think it's worth the prime-breaking anti-jokers. I'd rather give White the chance to send me to the rail and then hop my 5-prime.

22/20, 5/4.
