Heh -- and sometimes they are long and completely miss the mark ;-

I had written (and thought I had posted) a longer post earlier, but a day later noticed it wasn't there. The 2 was obviously 7/5* because after 23/18 23/21 Opp can escape with 5s and 6s, hit with 1s and 2s, and the few do-nothing rolls aren't terrible, up 61 pips. The first 5 that came to mind, but examining the rolls, 9/4 appeared to be better on about 90% of Opponent's responses. Hugely better! And then, with a GG score, the double slot looks equally strong, and with a GG score, keeping the anchor is no less valuable. I didn't look at all responses after 8/3, but noticed that giving up the block creates a big negative swing on 4-4, 4-3 and 2-6.
