Clear the midpoint here?

Well, with a 5 prime, a lead in the race, and Brunette's (thanks, Chuck) blot on the ace point, I'm looking to run off the 20pt as soon as I get a halfway decent roll. As it turns out, an 8 isn't a particularly good roll for that.

I could play 20/15 10/7, duping aces, but that play is kind of gross, leaving me with a ton of cleanup even if I don't get pointed on on the 5pt. I could play 13/10 13/8 and hope that Brunette won't be able to cleanly improve her board this roll (which is somewhat likely due to her awkward distribution), and hope I roll bigger than an 8 next time (not really all that likely). Or I could play 20/15 20/17, duping 3s, and hope I get away with it.

All in all it looks like 15 & 17 is my play. Cleanup seems pretty easy and many hitting rolls are really bad for Brunette, so bad that she might not even want to hit (e.g. how do you play a 61?). Only a few jokers--66, 55, etc., and even those aren't even necessarily winning.
