For money, with the cube centered, it's going to depend completely on cubeful valuation. If we think we are almost at a cube before this roll, then we clearly have to play 11/5 8/6 to keep from anything but 6-6 to cause a big turnaround. If sitting back on our 5 leaves too much play, then 20/16, followed by a whiff probably leaves us with a nice efficient cube.

I'm going to guess the latter, so 20/16.

At DMP, probably the same play.

For GG I think maybe we cover the 5 and 8/6, since we aren't winning a ton of gammons in this position, but when we are it's usually because white gets those 3 checkers stuck back there for too long. that said, I don't like pushing one of our builders past the hole with a priming plan, but there don't appear to be any other good 2s once we've covered.
