White on roll, cube action?

I do not pretend to know, but I thought it would be fun to introduce a play that no one has mentioned so far. I want to keep the anchor. Bob's play 13/9 13/11 would be my second choice, but I do not like giving 8 shots.

As you can see in the diagram above, another option is 13/9 8/6. This play has these advantages:

(1) It keeps the anchor.

(2) It minimizes shots.

(3) If White does not move her back checker, this play gives you lots of numbers that hit loose on the 1pt next turn, which is the best way to take advantage of your 4-to-2 advantage in home board strength.
