13/10 13/9

This is the classic opening for 4-3. It does carry a little bit of risk if your opponent rolls a 6-2, a 6-3, 4-4, or 4-5, which will happen almost 1 in 5 games, but it introduces a lot of options for building next turn. In addition to 3-1, 1-1, 6-1 for making my five-point or bar point which I already had, now my good rolls include 4-3, 3-2, 5-4, 5-3, 5-1, 6-3, 6-2, 4-1. And in addition to 4-2 for making my four-point, now I'll have 6-4, 6-2 and 5-2 for that as well. With this opening, the worst thing I could roll next turn would be a 5-5, and it wouldn't be that bad -- i'd do 13/3(2) and be 20 pips ahead.

24/18* 9/6 8/5

I thought about making your bar point, but now that you have an anchor on my 3 point, my blot on the 9 is at risk from a direct shot, and I was wanting to do 8/5 anyway to give me more options for building in my home, so having the blot be safely on the six only gives me slightly fewer options for building -- a little harder to make my bar point now, a little easier to make my points in my home.
