Game 2, move 2: Herd 5-3

[diane]

A couple of really obvious, uneventful things happened, so I moved this one a bit. This may also be obvious - but there are choices, so lets think about them.

Herd rolled 6-2, which was 13/7, 9/7
steifnu rolled 6-3, and 24/15 made perfect sense.

I don't like stripping the mid while there's two points to clear, or stripping the 8 to slot. I'll make 3.

At this point with steinfu having escaped two runners we're hanging back waiting to hit a shot.  Although we'll gladly run if we get the chance, this isn't the roll.  This roll gives us two good ways to build our board - make the three or slot the five.  The five is the better point, and slotting it is definitely the more pure play, but making the three gives us a concrete point right now.  A bird in the hand....

8/3 6/3.

i too voted to make the three point, but was well tempted with slotting our five point with the 3, and coming out aggressively with the 5 to stiefnu's six point
