1-4 - one of my weaker rolls. Didn't want to step into a massive number of your pointing numbers on your 4 or 5, so I played down, however with 3 of your checkers back on my ace and me having the bar point, bar/20 or bar/21,24/23 become more viable than normal. A roll other than doubles would have been just ok for you. 2's are a great number.

I've made my next play (after you play your 2-2, which really can only be played one way) :-)
Not thrilled with all of your spares in your outfield, which makes for some difficult choices.

XGR++
While making the golden point is laudable, we have more important things to deal with. unstacking the bloated six while making a homeboard point is stronger, and then move up to the 22 since there's nothing better to do with the final two 2s.
