In Response To: XG rollout of 24/18 and assuming you then don't play the 2 (neilkaz)

13-11 is well placed unless it is hit (12 times?). If it is hit, the duplication of aces will often dilute the loss suffered. I was expecting the rollout to confirm the value of 13-11, albeit a small value.

I note that the rollout shows that not playing any 2 would be better than either 6-4 or 24-22. This surprises me a little simply because of the race. But, both of these checkers are better placed where they are rather than advancing. You noted the advantages of leaving the extra spare on the six. 24-22 loses the strong sixes available after the blot is hit. It would be interesting to see if this holds in an extended rollout.
