In Response To: When to run the last checker (Stick)

Great article Stick. I see your thinking in these positions, but I would like to open a conversation regarding the 4th position.

I did a 3ply analysis for money and various match scores (5pt match). For money it is clear to run because of the Jacoby rule. But when I apply a few match scores, making the 5pt is a hair better because of the gammon potential. I did not see this by looking at the position until I brought out snowie.

Not sure how to ask this question. How would I go about deciding if running is better over making the 5 point at match scores?
