not much to think about here, cover the blot, then move off the ace.  6-3 24-23

I voted for 6/2.  Moving up to the 23 makes sixes play poorly, makes it slightly harder to bring that blot to the 18, and increases the number of POH rolls for Linus.  I'm not sure if these outweigh the advantages of making the 3 point, but I've been dinged for moving a single straggler up to the 23 many times. My take is that we'll cover the 3 soon enough, so no hurry to do it now, but it appears I'm in the minority here.
