Just a position

I'd try triplicating 4s with 22/16 13/9. Ahead in the race, so race, you know? If White fails to hit or anchor on the 18 or 20, it's cube time. 11/5x 13/9 looks a little too big to me. You'll be able to at least cash the game on the 15 non-hitters but the other 21 rolls hit one or more of your 4 blots. 13/3 is too much of a "trying to win the game by trying not to lose it" play which is something those of us who "learned" the game in the 70s and 80s were taught to reject. I still haven't unlearned this principle so I keep rejecting these half measure plays. Making the 7 pt. leaves 6s to hit on the 11 plus 3s,duped 4s, and 10s to attack our straggler. Doesn't look right.
