Double aces from the roof

Entering with bar/24 is forced. Then 5/4 to diversify seems automatic.

And 14/13 to give 17 hitting numbers if white throws a 61.

It's the last ace that's a hard call. 2/1 to force 20 hitting numbers and try to pick up a second checker? Or something "normal" like 4/3 or 13/12 to run off the gammon?

Does score matter? A gammon loss loses the match. A single point loss gives 5aC or about 15% MWC. A single point win makes the match almost even.

I think the bold play invites too many gammon losses without providing enough wins to justify it. But I may be wrong. I'll play 4/3, QF be damned.

bar/24* 14/13 5/3.
