Splitting seems to lose too many gammons, and abandoning the bar point makes it easier for Julia to escape her runners. So it's down to playing off the 8 and then either making the ace or the deuce. Both look to be about the same, but I'lll make the ace so we have no blots in our board. Hopefully we'll still have a shot next roll or her blockade will detereorate while she's still stuck behind ours. It's a longshot, but the best plan to win.
