Which one?

I would like to keep both options open (winning going forwards and winning by staying back). So 3/2 is too committal for me. 17/16* is possible but it seems that it makes it too easy for Black to keep me dancing and extend his prime in the meantime. 23/22 has the advantage of locking up the 3-point anchor, which is good, but it's inflexible; even if I do roll a 5 or a 6, I may be reluctant to hop out if doing so means breaking my 3-point anchor and leaving me stuck with an ace-point anchor, whereas if I step up with 24/23 then I'll be happy to leap out with 22/16 or 22/17 in most cases. The checkers on the ace point are poorly positioned, given that I'm not that far behind in the pip count. If I do end up playing a backgame I probably want a 2-3 backgame rather than a 1-3 backgame here.

If anything, I'd trust the rollout less here than in Chuck's DMP position, but I'd still be interested in what it says.

bar/22* 24/23
