Blue will be up by 10 pips after this play, so it seems thematic to break contact. So 21/11 seems like a must for the first two fives. The midpoint needs unstacking, so 13/3 is a candidate. Playing to the ace seems anti-positional since this will often turn into a straight race. Making our three point seems like a good choice since there are plenty of scenarios where we exchange hits instead of breaking contact. If nothing else it'll make white less willing to hit loose until she makes a board of her own. And what is the eight point doing for us here? Not much.

21/11 8/3(2)
