Rollout... all 4

Since I didn't get a chance to post before your rollout was finished I'll stick by my choice I told you over MSN, bar/21(2) 22/14. It's still my play, even after the rollout.
One of the first things I said was "if there were 5 on the midpoint my play would clearly be 13/5 with the other two fours". But there aren't, and so it isn't. While I'd consider it, I would rather roll some aces and deuces and put my men on the 6pt to work on my upper innner board points.
I'm trying to keep my timing and that gives the nod to running one of the back checkers. Right now we're down after the roll 58 pips, not a bad amount. Could be a down a bit more to be perfect I think, but this is a good ballpark since we should have no problem playing our checkers. I'd also like to run to the place that is least valuable for my opponent. Running one out and stopping on the bar may seem to 'create contact' but we're very unhappy is said bar point is made. The same goes for the 9pt in my mind, leaving running to my opponent's 11pt as best.
I don't feel we're anywhere near going forward yet so being hit is fine with me. I'm always one for attempting to go forward if we get the chance, but we're so underdeveloped in so many ways I try to maintain my timing and wait for another (better) roll.
