6/1 is forced.  Hitting with the one is counterproductive as it just wrecks our timing and destroys our backgame structure.  Playing 6/5 kills fives which may give us some hope for maintaining some semblance of a board by the time we get a shot so that's what I'll go with.  I know that bots often make a shuffling play like 3/2, but I'm going to go with 6/5.
