Number 1. 5 stack on the midpoint. Doesn't that take precedence? 13/8 and either 13/9 or 6/2*. (No rush to step under the gun, IMO.) Ten shots at a blot on the 9-point; sounds like too many. Better board argues for an attack as well.

13/8, 6/2*.

Number 2. As much as I don't like the 8-point here, I've learned there usually are more important places to focus, and here that appears to be the case. 24/20, 23/21 gives opp 16 PoH rolls (from my count) -- seems like too many. 24/18 dupes hitting 6's and when head is pointed upon, not a great concession. I see some tweener plays (where half the roll is played on the homeside) but the advantages of those slip past me.

24/18.

Number 3. Timing appears to be about even. Beige has a clear lead. Brown has options (like running a back checker) when things get awkward. Back up Beige's spare on the 3-point and it (quickly?) becomes a pass.

D+T.

Number 4. Conflict between Stick's first two Mythbuster lessons? What's the downside to making the 5-point? The 10-point isn't so good against opp's 22-point anchor. Then again, you're making the 5-point with the wrong checkers. Getting the back checker hit after 24/16 costs opp an asset. 24/16 jumps past ELEVEN Brown checkers. What's Beige's gameplan? Race. Sam, don't let me down.

24/16.

Number 5. Such an easy take, so Brown needs several (decent sized) market losers. Where are they?

N+T.
