I should have known I wouldn't get any replies with that title. People probably scared to death to make the same move as Rory. Understandable. While obviously as long as you make one of the top 3 plays there's really no harm, no foul, I thought it was still interesting that lifting the 8pt came out on top. Offhand I don't get it and I'm not going to take the time to try to get it either. To suggest that is better than 13/8 doesn't make much sense in my one second analysis.
