6/4(2), because it's going to be difficult to find a better spot for those two checkers anytime soon.

Now it's between 3/1*(2) and 11/7. Besides the obvious tempo value of the shifty PoH (which has value here with that bullseye on White's 21-point) you also get that annoying opp checker moved forward. The three point isn't so great here, anyway.

The downside of 3/1*(2) is what it doesn't do with the outside checker -- get it out of harms way. But there are only 8 hits (6 of which give up the anchor) plus 3 PoH's on the other side of the board compared to 16 (I don't count 1-1) clean PoH's on the 21-point if you don't put White on the bar. (One could argue there's value in making the 11-point, now or in the future. I'm not one of the ones....)

6/4(2), 3/1*(2).
