First point to notice is that Black should have doubled before rolling. With White's 4-point and 5-point open, his back game is seriously compromised. I'd pass if doubled, but it still might be a take. However, it's a huge double.

For the 3-2, I'd play 7/5 7/4. which clears a difficult point, puts spares in good position, and prepares to attack on the 2 and 3-points when White leaves. Also good is 8/6 8/5, which doesn't clear a point but which does get builders in position and prepares to clear the 8-point. Even 8/6 7/4 is OK. Would White break a back game point to hit here?

The common mistake would be playing something like 10/7 8/6. The blot is in no danger because White's board is so weak.
