Hello Jason and many thanks for all of these interesting positions.

Mhhh, I would not hit loose on the 5 while our opponent has a better prime structure than we do. If we get hit back, we are in a dire position.

But I would consider hitting on the 7, and 24/22 to round it off. Even if we get hit back, we have a return shot and in all likeliness we ar going to make that anchor.

So
#1: 13/7* 24/22
#2: 24/22(2) 6/4(2)

Hm.... on the first position I see that 13/7* 24/22 duplicates 6s but somehow I dislike having nothing than hit. 24/22(2) 6/4(2) improves on both sides of the board, putting pressure on two blots + having a modest racing advantage.
Stragely I'm more inclined to hit with #2 but I still take 13/7* 24/22 (I hope at least 1 is right :crazy_face: )

LOL.....There is a reason I don't play BMAB but build a bot .....

Technically an apples to oranges comparison, since I rolled out the first one and not the second, but I'm sure it's not different.
