Game deciding 31 to play

Hitting leaves 25 return shots (all entering rolls except 2-1). Giving up the anchor with this much risk AND when there appears to be a lot of game left to play without making this bold move looks too risky for me.

The constructive play of making the 3-point is a contender in my book. That play still gives White 17 shots in the outfield (plus some double-edged hits with 3's and 7's in his homeboard) and three total blots.

The safe plays all start with 13/10. Then 10/9 (8 outfield shots; 3 total blots), 6/5 (4 outfield shots; 2 total blots), and 11/10 (0 outfield shots; 1 blot) are the continuation candidates. I don't like 11/10 since I don't like two checkers on that point (in conjunction with the made 4-point), let alone the inflexibility of four.

The tweener play of 13/10, 6/5 is looking like my choice here.
