7/6/4 or PoH? I like pointing. Your racing advantage is quite a bit less than what the raw pip counts suggest due to the 7 checkers on your low points (with probably more to follow as you clear the 7), the gap on your 5, and only 1 on the 4. Pointing is great if White dances and pretty good if White enters without hitting. It's real bad if White hits and covers or hits without covering and you dance. Hitting is a more decisive play which is sometimes indicated when the oppt owns the cube. This might be one of those times.
