There are actually a couple of options here. The run is tempting, 20/10, but I'm not up all that much in the race after the roll and it will give you a chance to attack my back checker. I could make the bar point also but that lets you do too much. Nothing really competes with the obvious play of putting you on the bar vs. my 3 pt. board and the trash that has become your position. Stick moves 8/2* 6/2. Btw, for money play I'd have cubed before this roll, ahead in the match by so much I decided to wait.

Again, for money I'd have cubed in a snap, I decide to wait again. The take based on the race alone I feel is too easy. My position is rock solid but if you sneak an anchor out of this, 3 pt, 5 pt, or bar pt, I'll be happy I didn't cube. I'll wait to see if I improve this roll and you don't and then decide. Stick moves 8/3*/1*

No Move Guess I should have doubled before last roll? Oh well ... now I'm TG as I have plenty of cover for the ace/point making numbers. Once again, I hate to save you the suspense, but you never got more than 1 man on the ground and lost a gammon.
