In Response To: Your Early Game Test (Stick)

Okay I'll try! I might be playing in Chicago this weekend but I'm out of practice. Fortunately this is my first tourney and if I go, I'll be playing in the wimp division, not against any of you guys.

1) I'd split and hit here 24/18 6/4*. Pretty sure this is right...the extra covers for the 2 aren't worth the painful return hits.

2) Coming in on the 1 looks ugly, so I'll play bar/20, and then maybe 6/5? It does duplicate 4s to cover the 4-point.

3) Double-hitting on both 5-points can't be that wrong, 24/20* 6/5*. 8/4 6/5* would probably be second, but we gain a lot by hitting on the 20.

4) As much as I like 5-points, I'd hit on the bar here, b/22 24/18*.

5) I kind of like 8/3 5/3. I also kind of like 7/5 8/3*, why did I slot the 5 if not to make it? I can't decide. My initial reaction was the first play, but that looks much worse if we get hit, and there are a number of hits. Maybe the second play. I still can't decide.
