In Response To: Late Game 2-1 (Karam Ashoo)

While we're not likely to be gammoned even if we hit, I think our race lead is big enough that hitting doesn't gain anything.

There's still a question of how to play safely. We want to avoid leaving a shot next turn, and we also want to have an efficient bearing-off position. I'd play 5/3 2/1. Keeping spares on the high points leads to less wastage and also gives you reasonable 5's and 4's to play if you roll 51 or 41 next turn.
