In Response To: NYC Masters Round #2 Play #2 (Matt Cohn-Geier)

This was one of my worst errors of this match. I didn't like the superstacky 13/8 10/8 or the stack & ace point slot, so I went for 10/3*, which at least got something started and knocked Rich off my 3 point while minimizing blots, since I had the anchor. However playing safe here is totally clear as Rich's structure is solid, so I just hope to get lucky and make a point. If worse comes to worse I can usually hit him next time. He doesn't have that many good rolls that improve his position and hitting just gives him a few more ways to do it.

Between the ugly and best plays, stacking the 8 turns out to be slightly better than slotting the ace here.

The score (after 8 games) is: Rich Munitz 5, Matt Cohn-Geier 8 (match to 11 points)

Move number 5: Matt Cohn-Geier to play 52

Rich Munitz	158
Matt Cohn-Geier	151
