I'm looking for input into the best way to take out 134. I'll pre-empt Cy by saying that it's probably a mistake to land on 134 when 132, 136 and 140 are preferable but however it happened, we're on 134.
The reason for my interest in this number is that I have seen the best player on our team bust 134 with T20-S14-T20 and I myself have gone T20-T20 to leave the hated D7. In both these cases the other player wasn't on a finish so it was a blunder to go this way. (The reason I threw for the second T20 is terrible; I didn't think I was good enough to hit it.)
My thoughts... Going T20 first is fine. If you hit the single 20 then you're just trying to leave a good double or 2-darter for your next visit. You could do this with T20-S14 or S20-T18 for tops. If you hit T20 then T14-D16 is reasonable. If you're going to move from 20's to another treble then you may as well try to leave D16 (rather than, for example T18-D10).
But what happens if you hit T20-S14 to leave 60, 1 dart in hand. Do you risk busting by going for S20 to have 3 darts at tops next visit? Do you just make sure you definitely aim high? Or do you take away the chance of busting but likely leave only a two-darter e.g. T8.
Maybe this question boils down to the best way to go from 60 with 1 dart in hand!
