I let this one go, and not just because I enjoy playing against 2-away.

White is outboarded 3-1, on bar, and with little immediate counterplay. Black has OK diversification here, 4s and 6s to hit and 2s to anchor, most odd pairs make up a hitting 4 or 6, so black has few bad rolls. After loose hit - 4 hits from bar variations, black has again very good diversification, 3 or 5 enter onto an anchor, while 4 and possibly 6 rehits.

Finally the score helps black here, not white, although black is the one leading white's TP should be a bit higher than money, as the extra point brings black to Crawford. Gammons while having 1 point overage, wins for black, and that almost makes up for the overage.

Double / pass.
