Spoiler

roman is quite stacked and will most likely be forced to leave a shot next turn.  Anchoring up lets him play behind the anchor and build a board while making our four point gives us a strong board and applies pressure.  Anchoring is playable but pointing looks like the stronger play.

8/4 6/4

XG summary for game 1. The herd turned in an excellent 2.03 PR while roman played a super-human .71  Well done on both sides!

The story is the dice and we got a joker or two at the end that made all the difference. A .6 luck equity is usually decisive in a one-game sample.

I'll post some rollouts on the relevant threads.
