In Response To: A 32 to play (Neil Robins)

I found this problem to be fairly intuitive. Its one of those less common situations where you simply cannot afford to step up at the back *yet*. As for the rest of it (i.e. where to play the 2?). Thats mostly a technique thing - I did look at covering the ace, but ultimately prefer 8/6 (spare 5s!).

What you want to happen: He fans, you cover, leap and run. What is more likely to happen: he fans, you cover, eventually breaking your home 6pt whilst waiting for the eternal 6 to exit the white homeboard.

So, I tend to plan for the more likely event, and try and optimize my spares accordingly.

I did glance at the rollout results - but this is one of those where I get all belligerent, and declare that the rollouts are wrong until they match my play.
