hit or not? why? why not?

There are two classes of situations where, IMO, you shouldn't hit:

1) The hit doesn't improve your position much. That doesn't appear to be the case here as not only would Blue like to make the next point in line but he'd also like to make it difficult for White to make that point (or otherwise improve his position).

2) The hit is way too dangerous, even disastrous, when it fails. There are certainly downsides here (starting with 13 hits for White) but Blue would then have to fan, White close his five point, etc. for White to take the lead.

At GS I would likely shun the hit, but not at this score. (And in response to Stick's favorite question, I think the hit is right at DMP.)

8/3*, 10/6
