In Response To: Containment checker play (Timothy Chow)

When you have an open 6pt (versus a checker on the roof), the 12pt and 10pt happen to be efficient points to make because of the extra two doublets that close the board. So, that would be my autopilot move.

OTOH, I'm not used to seeing a centered cube in this type of money position. Maybe making the 11pt is right because not only do you get 9 vs 6 board-closers (courtesy of Mr. 18pt-er) and extra shots on his 8 non-hitting 6s, you also get the vig that you only lose instead of getting gammoned when Opp rolls 64 66.

I'll still support making the 12pt and 10pt, but without much conviction.
