Slotting and splitting

In Response To: Slotting and splitting (Timothy Chow)

Long, long ago, 30 years and more, I believed that a slot-without-split was necessary here, since (a la Magriel) it couldn't be right to slot and split, nor to split under the gun. Nor, of course, could it be right (according to conventional wisdom) to make some stacking, stripping play like 13/9 11/8, or 13/6.

I decided it must be technically right to play 11/4, but I thought that sometimes the best practical play would be 11/7 8/5. The weaker the opponent, the more inclined I'd be to make the double slot.

I haven't thought about this position in recent memory, but 24/20 8/5 seems obvious enough in hindsight. If you slot everything, you're bound to make something!

I'd like to see both 24/20 24/21 and 11/7 8/5 rolled out, however. Thanks in advance to anyone who might do so. My own rollout logistics are poor these days.
