#note The sim, for whatever that's worth, values a lot of non-trading plays about equally -- ABA 9G, ATE I7, AIN G6, IF 7G, etc. My thinking was that I'd let her open the board for me, scoring virtually nothing in the process, and then I'd keep a strong leave to bingo through her play. Perhaps that's not foolproof, but it still seems like a viable option. Or does it? I'm really not sure. Quackle says -6.
>Elana: TY 8G ...TY +8 14
>Evans: EEILNTX J8 .EXT +27 35
>Elana: ANU 11J .UNA +8 22
>Evans: BCEEILN M10 C.BLE +18 53
#note Pretty awful play. NEB 12K scores 20 keeping a nice balanced CEIL -- that looks best. But there are like 10 other plays better than mine -- BEANIE and BALE are better in the same spot, for example. A static -5, a simmed -13.
>Elana: AHINRU 15H UNHAIR +40 62
>Evans: CEILNPV K5 VIN.L +24 77
>Elana: I 7G I. +9 71
>Evans: CEIOPTU 12K PU.IC +36 113
>Elana: ??EINOP O8 PINO.lEs +140 211
#note PLIOCENE, PINECONE and PINOCHLE are all good as well.
>Evans: EEOORTY 14J OY +19 132
>Elana: FOR N6 FRO +18 229
>Evans: EEKORST M3 KORE +21 153
#note Oooh, STROKE and KETOSE at O1 score a bunch. I was focusing a little too much on leave here. -3
>Elana: ADD N2 DAD +19 248
>Evans: DEEGNST O1 GET +22 175
#note Wow, it never occurred to me that OD had a D hook. GEED! -19 (!!)
>Elana: GIJ L2 JIG +40 288
>Evans: DEENOSS 10D NODES +19 194
#note SOX 10H is best, I suppose... I was just afraid of what that would do to the board. Down 100, I'd rather swing the board wide open. Probably not wise. -13
>Elana: AEIRZ C9 ZAIRE +55 343
>Evans: DELSSSV E9 S.LVES +18 212
#note Plays like this are a good indicator that I should get off my ass and actually study Superleaves. Guessing this stuff based on intuition can only get you so far. Superleaves has SS at 11.319941773107 and DS at 9.18118650749678; SOLVED is definitely better than SOLVES here. -4
>Elana: EEW D12 EWE +32 375
>Evans: DEHIORS 15A HODS +35 247
#note OSES 14B is really cool -- scores 23, keeps DEHIR, and opens a hook into a TWS lane for a huge play making DOSES/HOSES/ROSES. I wish I'd thought of that. -9
>Elana: AA 6F AA +7 382
>Evans: EIMRRTW 5C WRIT +16 263
>Elana: A D9 A. +14 396
>Evans: EILMOQR 6J Q. +31 294
>Elana: AAEGMOT 14A AM +21 417
#note Best is OMEGA 4D, scoring 29 and keeping an easy out with AT.
>Evans: EILMOR D1 MILE. +20 314
#note OLE 4D sets up MIR/META to go out next turn.
>Elana: AEGOT 1D .AGOT +24 441
#note Missing GELATO/LEGATO through the L.
>Evans: OR 2F OR +11 325
