The reflex play is to go close her out with 6/3* 4/3. But we're leading post-crawford, so gammons don't matter and that play forces a shot after 55 66 or 65, (and leaves an ugly mess after 44 54 and probably some others)

What else is there? Pick and pass 4/3*/off, or simply rip one off without hitting are both playable. Either only leaves 63 to blot - anything else leaves a smooth bearoff structure.

White has lots of timing and since gammons don't count will stick around so might as well put her on the bar. She may dance and leave that blot sitting there instead of making the full board.

4/3*/off
