In Response To: Hit or not ? - RO (storm)

I think this is actually quite a subtle position. For example, if we worsen Blue's position by giving him a deuce-point anchor instead of a five-point anchor then I think hitting becomes correct. Looking at it now, I'm reminded of a series of positions I posted here about a month ago. Following the reasoning from those positions, I think that since Blue is in pretty good shape in your position, there's less need to go for the risky hit. If Blue had a deeper anchor then he might be desperate enough to try the hit. The score might also matter here (versus money play). I'll get a couple of rollouts of variant positions going.
