In Response To: DQ: Three reasonable plays (leobueno)

1. With 34 pips lead in the race before the roll the cube must be turned. Once you clear the 11 pt you lose your market.

2. I categorize this position as ending holding game. That helps me in tackling this sort of positions. Here our game plan is the race and we want to clear the pts as safely as possible. For that purpose 8/6 helps in the process of clearing the pts and on the way achieves a good to have spare on the 6 pt. Then for the 3 - we are interested in racing and not in contact. Therefore, there is no reason to make inside pts behind the anchor. What we want is a better distribution for the race and 4/1 serves that.

8/6, 4/1 is my play (preferably after the cube has been turned) and I would be surprised if that is wrong.
