Game 5, move 12 : Herd 6-3

Its getting trickier...

We really don't want to lose a gammon here - the difference between a gammon los and a single point loss is huge - 51% MWC vs 68% MWC

So, much as I don't like it, the chicken play seems best. 7/1 4/1.

If we were at 1a 5a Crawford, I'd opt for one of the hitting plays.

This is why we didn't want to give up the 6 point - any thoughts of distribution behind the White anchor are irrelevant as we're not going to have him off the anchor any time soon. Chicken play for me, to prevent the gammon.
