9/6 is the only non-hitting play I considered. That leaves only four returns but doesn't go for the G (which I think is right here) and doesn't take advantage of White's acepoint blot. It just gives White a chance to shore up his homeboard.

So start with 3/2*. Now I see 9/7 and 8/6 as competitors for the deuce. The former is pure since the 3-point is already made. However it leaves more blots although the same number of total shots -- 13 and same number of double shots. (Sam, please correct if I miscount. :)

If White fans I count 30 covers for 9/7 and 29 for 8/6.

If White enters with a hit on the 2-point, the still made 8-point after 9/7 is an advantage.

Summary: 3/2*, 9/7.
