Two Away Four Away

My last match score related article cover the -4 -2 score from the trailer's perspective. This month we'll take a look at the score which everyone who is reading this is more likely to reach, -2 -4, as the leader. If you read and followed the -4 -2 article then understanding the inverse score should be a piece of cake. I considered not covering it at all but didn't think that would do the score and the match score series justice.

Great Article, Stick.

Should the leader slot with 62 against 42P and 31P also?

No, the leader should should just split after 42P-62? and 31P-62? (running is a close second after 31P-62?) You can check on my site in mid to late April and all of these rollouts will be posting for dmp/gg/gs.

Just a quick note that the biggest differences are the urgency which you need to split, after 53P-62? you're in not great threat of being hemmed in and will likely have good rolls/opportunities to split at a later time. If you get hit after slotting 53P-62? it's a lot less hurtful as your opponent has both the open 4 and 5 points so immediately you have more higher anchor making numbers. I also see it as not playing catch up as much because if you get away with the slot you may be winning the priming battle whereas in the other two situations you aren't really.
