Here, the best play is remarkably obvious if you see it.
But unfortunately I didn't see it.
At a more elementary level than observing genuine banana splits,
it's important not to miss plays which start out with a banana split play
like 6-4* but cover with the rest of the roll so that they don't leave any
more exposure than any other play.
