23/22 is a must, of course, and the candidates I see for the two are 6/4, 8/6 and 7/5. I kind of like the 6/4 play for its multiple duplication and forcing most 5s and 6s to be played on the other side of the board but the downside is that it is sure to cost more gammons when the value of them is only a little below normal ATS. I would discard it and choose between 8/6 and 7/5. 8/6 looks the standard play better for the long run, but playing 7/5 could be right because double sixes looks a lot worse for our opponent while we hold the 8-pt than double fives hoding the 7-pt. Anyway I'd go with 23/22 8/6.
