Making the bar point seems pretty obvious, but I don't have quite the confidence to next this one. Anybody have a good reason  to play something else?

BTW, we're pausing for a cube decision unless Z rolls double sixes.

I think making the bar point is obvious. I really don't see anything else; it's just another nice roll. What comes next, I don't know. Of course Zorba's position is pretty strong with the anchor he has. But, apart from a double 6 he can't easily escape his runners.
For now, we don't have that problem.

No need to roll this one out.  2-ply analysis is enough.
