At double match point I dont need to be getting so far
behind that i have to drop a double. Here i was trying to keep my
opponent off balance by hitting on the 1pt (rarely a good idea). Instead I
should have been using this roll to set up for the advanced anchor which
would keep me in the game for the long haul by coming in on the 5 and splitting
to the 3.
Keys to remember: Dont give up hope of winning
forward this early in the game. Hitting on the one point is rarely
useful when there are other ways to play the roll and your opponent isn't
threatening to do something constructive.
