#note 29th Silicon Valley Classic
13 August, 2021 [Friday the 13th]
Game 2
Sim confirms that this is indeed better than GRUE, but I should play better basic scrabble and do ECU instead. Can we say that I was still reacclimating to live tournament play?
>Chris_Schneider: AE G7 A.E +7 7
>Stefan_Kac: ?EGNRTU H8 .NURGEnT +82 92
#note Worth a try? Probably not.

>Chris_Schneider: IY 5J .I.Y +16 62
>Stefan_Kac: DINORWZ 10G DROWN +24 168
#note Never saw or considered 9C ZOWI(E), which sims co-best with DROWN. Short-term defense seems much smarter here.
>Chris_Schneider: OT 1L .O.T +21 83
>Stefan_Kac: ?EIITYZ 6H .Y. +6 174
#note Lots of middling choices here which dangle all manner of floaters. This sims between 5 and 9 points worse than the best of them, but sim is not properly accounting for the likelihood that opp's rack is very well groomed. ZEsTY/(DROWN)s is fool's gold and actually does sim 4 worse than (E)Y(E).
>Chris_Schneider: EHO 11I HOE +26 109
>Stefan_Kac: ?EIITUZ 12K TIZ +27 201
#note Opp manages to drop an opening that I can't use, so suddenly I'm in a bit of a pickle. Don't love this, but I don't really see how 12J ETUI is 6 better.
>Chris_Schneider: ATX 13L TAX +44 153
>Stefan_Kac: ?EEIOQU O12 QI +32 233
#note FML. Now burning the blank actually sims ok, but I'm cool playing the long game here. This is the highest-simming non-blank-burning play.
>Chris_Schneider: AIIIOOO -AIIIOOO +0 153
>Stefan_Kac: ?EEOORU N13 .U +18 251
#note Played quickly to conserve time and never saw 12F EURO, which this time is probably even better than the sim gives it credit for and furthers the defensive bent of the past several turns. (X)U sims 1.5 worse.
>Chris_Schneider: INW 9D WIN. +7 160
>Stefan_Kac: ?EEEOOR 8C OE +9 260
#note UGH. Now I just have to try to trade bingos. Sim says (W)OOER is somewhat better. I don't think I saw it. The cluttering of WOOER scares me a bit, as does leaving the new WINE hook unrestricted, but the pts+leave are probably worth it.
>Chris_Schneider: LP D6 PL.. +9 169
>Stefan_Kac: ?EEIORS 4C EmERSIO. +75 335
#note I should make it a V for best defense.
>Chris_Schneider: AL 8A AL.. +12 181
>Stefan_Kac: ADGGORV E9 .GG +10 345
#note Low on time and not seeing anything good, so I panic-block. Sim says playing elsewhere for points would have been totally fine. One of my short-term goals is to do better with spread relative to my W-L performance. Is this that kind of play?
>Chris_Schneider: ENOP 3B OPEN +23 204
#note Not 100% sure at this point that I have these plays recorded correctly.
>Stefan_Kac: ABDIORV B6 VA.ID +21 366
#note 2B BORA for point pigs. But this is a fine balance of score and defense.
>Chris_Schneider: AAEILSS 14F ALIASES +64 268
>Stefan_Kac: BBMOORU H12 BR.O +27 393
#note Top simming for equity, and at this score let's not worry too much about tenths-of-percentage-points in the win% department.
>Chris_Schneider: AFLT 2A FLAT +25 293
>Stefan_Kac: ABEKMOU C10 OAKUM +25 418
>Chris_Schneider: DMNNR 13A DR.M +7 300
>Stefan_Kac: BE F4 .EB +11 429
#note Whoops, needed to turn it ninety degrees. Or I might have this part of the board recorded wrongly.
>Stefan_Kac: (NN) +4 433
