I hate being six-primed

The right idea when stuck behind a full prime is to counter-prime and hope to contain the opponent long enough for her prime to break. Hitting is often the wrong idea since a closeout is a one-way ticket to Loserville.

How to apply that here? 8/5*(2) rolls the four prime forward and gives white a lot of rolls to enter, so it might be part of the right play. But how do you keep the four prime? I don't see how, so perhaps another approach is in order. 9/3(2) makes a broken five prime without hitting. The downside is that whites checkers on the 5 and 12 points are free to travel. But maybe containing the blot on the ace is enough?

I'll make the three point. Without much confidence.
