In Response To: play 4-2 how and why (Birol)

Slotting is a candidate. I see two issues with that, however. 1) it's going to be difficult to cover. 2) Your opponent's hits go a long way to escaping (while you are occupied on the bar).

If you don't slot, 11/7 doesn't look like the four since you want the outfield coverage. 21/17 isn't particularly dangerous since opp's hitter/builders are all on one point. For the deuce, I like 3/1*. A) You want that checker to do some work; B) if hit back, opp is still reasonably trapped (bonus: 1-3 roll leaves another blot to shoot at); C) hitting aces are duped on both sides of the board.

Summary: 21/17, 3/1*.
