In Response To: 63S-43W-41? (Ian Shaw)

Yes, the play of the 43 in response to 63S I have not rolled out and I wouldn't nactate it W either. If I had my choice I'd give it my special *D* notation knowing I'd never forget their play because it was so Donkey.

I think hitting two here is clear, 6/5*/1*. Putting both of his men in the air depriving him of anything but a forced move next turn is huge. It freezes hit inner board blot which you'd like to hit to gain in the race. If not, you wouldn't mind having time to toss a 6 and make the bar point anchor. Not hitting allows him to consolidate his trashy reply too easily. Sure, the 9pt is a nice point but now you leave aces and sixes to hit, fours to anchor up, threes and fives to cover his trash blot. That seems to cover everything so he'll likely find something he knows how to play.

I'm not sure why you'd seriously consider 18/13. You aren't up in the race enough at this stage in the game for it to be worth anything and it leaves a direct shot. I'd give it the compulsory glance and then move on to other candidate plays. Your blitz potential isn't bad either if he rolls a dumb number or two he has 3 blots floating around. I'll be sad if anything is close to hitting two. I'm not even sure 9(2) would be my 3rd or 4th best play I like hitting so much...
