Community Comments

Neil Kazaross:

“I think you gotta go. Getting cubed no matter what so try to win it. I think out and up is the best DMP play.”

Mark Osborne:

“Time to go for it: 22/16, 22/21”

Rolf Schreuder:

“Definitely interesting: do we needs an action play here or is our position viable without jumping out with 22/16 and 6/5?!

Could be a case where playing the best move gets you doubled.

If we stay put the next roll we often find ourselves between a menacing 5prime.

Qf makes me brave: I play 22/16 6/5.

At least we are outboarding villain and we get returns (although just 7 alas) if pointed on.”
