LV screwup

I see two options for consideration.

Make the two point and give him the duplicated 3 on my bar point.

Play 13/9, 6/1 and duplicate his 5.

I like the first play by a considerable margin. I make the inside point giving myself a four point board. If he hits with a 3 he can only cover with a five which leaves him but a single builder on his side of the board. I want my bar point more than my nine point.

The second play I keep the bar but bury a blot on the ace, a 3.5 pt board w/ my only direct cover requiring me stripping the bar. If he hits the blot on the 9 pt. he can cover inside with a 3, thus leaving himself two builders.

Also, the joker 3-3 does less damage, particularly from a racing perspective, than does the joker 5-5. The joker 3-3 likely leaves him with more blots for return shots.

7/2, 6/2
