A more interesting position to RO

DK's position is a "next". If you play 4/3 you have 4 double blot rolls rather than 2 and you leave a potential awkward big stack on the 3pt with the 2pt stripped. The stripped 2pt is lots more of a factor when there's fewer remaining points and less flexibility since it becomes less likely to get spare on the 2 pt. (Imagine playing 4/3 and then rolling 55 or 66 and then blotting with a 2 and repeating that blot)

This position is being RO'd and is more interesting and close.
