Hitting on the 20 seems mandatory, so where to play the deuce?
Slotting the four seems rash, 8/6 seems just dumb, so that leaves unstacking the midpoint, slotting the 18, or moving up the runner. I'm not sure that slotting the bar point accomplishes anything, so I'll dismiss that too.
Moving up puts (more) pressure on the blot on the 16 so that's a plus, but that stack is screaming "unstack me" so I'll go for that. My hunch is that these two plays are somewhat close.
24/20* 13/11
