I see three plays: 7/1*; 8/2; and 13/7. I would rule out 13/7 as it plays with too many blots, which can give our opponent a ton of cube leverage down the road and lead to too many times where he gets to play on for the gammon. At DMP it might be equal to the other two, but I still would be more comfortable with fewer blots. If I had to pick a play at DMP, GG, and GS from the other two plays, I would have tough choices at all states other than GG, in which case 7/1* looks clear.

If I am unsure which play I would make in any state except GG, I would make the play that is clearly better at GG: 7/1*.
