I think you will have to run soon with one of the checkers anyway, anchoring on the 23 point- probably isnt the long term answer since you are up 22 pips. I see 2 options: 23/17, 8/7*, I counted 16 hitters. The good thing about playing it this way is that its less shots, 3s and 5s that hit on the other end are duplicated, and the back checkers stay connected. However, it leaves 4 blots. 24/17 I see as the other option, gives us a good 6; looks like 29 shots. 44% hits vs. 81%, how bad is getting hit here? compared with how bad is it leaving 4 blots? Ill trust my broken 5 prime and play 24/17.
