    The only plays I would consider seriously here are 13/4 and
    13/10 13/7. 13/10 13/7 leaves slightly more shots but it has
    a much bigger upside if we're missed; after 13/4, even if we're
    missed, we might have trouble covering, and some of our sixes
    are still bad. I would play 13/10 13/7.

    What Tim said.
    I got spooked by the prospect of two blots going to O's prison.
