juanz opted to enter with the 1 and clear up the blot on his 8-pt, rather than hit loose.

The Herd now has 64 to play.

5-pt match, juanz 0-4 Herd, Crawford
Pipcount: juanz (red) 128, Herd (black) 114

I don't like making 1. We don't need gammons and we're not going to get many more anyway with juanz anchored, it's no safer, it takes two men away from the task of closing the four point, and it leaves us vulnerable to busting our position with 55 and 66.

Run.  Run like hell.  We'll be 24 pips up in the race and have escaped oru runners while he has three men stuck behind a broken 5-prime.  gammons do nothing for us, so there's no reason to hit on the ace.  Besides, we want his board to crack and hitting doesn't accomplish that.
