211. I pay now.

Only 7 numbers that hit and cover now and it will likely be much worse next turn. All other times we get a direct shot or the equivalent and some gammon potential if we hit back.

212. Lots of time for white and if we get hit it wont matter. So blue's board is expendable and getting home safely is all that matters. So I keep the 7/8 points for the two landing spots and play 8/2 4/1.

213. ND/T for me. With both the mid and 11 points to clear, I prefer to accomplish one of them and then cube since it is likely a take or a close pass then, and the opponent has a good chance to get it wrong. Yeah, big market loss with big doubles.
