Game 18
Fun brain teaser right outa the gate here. I don't mind this play. I didn't see the slurplay which is clearly better from an equity standpoint.

#note Sim has it too close to call between this and MAIL(L). I chickened out of MAILL because it looks wrong. Fml. 6I MID is also in the mix and suits a defensive style well.

#note Stumped and desperate. Did ok. Again, the top-simming plays betoken wildly different lines. Just dropping the Y for 10 with (AWA)Y sims 4 better; N1 AM(OK) for 32 sims 1 better.

#note Maybe DUOTONE is non-negligibly better with the J unseen?

#note Again, tough to choose among sim's faves. This is probably best overall, but C7 GO or GIG are cool for taking an aggressive line. Just (ZA)G also does very well, though I'm not sure where we're really expecting to bingo with -ING next turn

#note Decided not to be scared of the bag. It's a solid gamble for a potzer, but there are plenty of things that hit for opp. 1J DUP to go up by 51 and leave 1 in the bag seems solider and isn't hard to spot.
It's tough to make peace with the idea that you can play this badly and win, or play really well and lose.
