In truth, you put him on the wall. Next roll he gave himself the roll he needed to get back off the wall. As for this strategy... I do it all the time. Sometimes you need to send one or two back in the hopes of catching your opponent in the ultimate gammon....besides its fun to practice your "back" game.
