In Response To: The classic question: To hit or not to hit? (Max Urban)

I'd play 13/2, hoping to have counterplay against the checkers on the 20-point when they make their way home, or to hit a shot from the deucepoint, and expecting not to lose a gammon. Hitting and leaving a shot my increase winning chances a little (even that I am not so sure about), but at the expense of many, many more gammon losses.
