They Laughed at my Backgame defense

In Pos. 1, 2, and 3 I'd make your plays -- 5/4* 16/10, bar/21* 10/4, and 4/2*/1*. In the first two, I want the 4 point. In the third, I want to keep the prime and either recirculate the checker or be satisfied playing 14 checkers vs. Opps' single anchor.

In Pos. 4 10/4* 8/4 and 10/4* 18/14 look playable but I'd be tempted to play 8/4* 8/2*, all out to put 7 checkers on Opp's 22 point.

In Pos. 5 your play, if that was breaking the 5 point, seems like a good try, but I would have just slotted 14/9 19/16.

In Pos. 6 I'd play bar/15 with second choice bar/19 15/11. I'm not lifting 8/4.

In Pos. 7 I'd play 7/4 3/1 with an eye to distribution, speed of bear-in and bear-off, and Opp's blot.
