What are the best settings for a NMS rollout?

Note: I have retitled this subthread here, but it really begins two messages back with this post.

I still have doubts about the utility of rollouts at 11-away, 11-away.

In a match circumstance, I think you agreed that the best NMS rollout is unlimited games, no Jacoby, no beavers. Then you pointed out that if you make a rollout using those settings, it won’t exactly apply in any real-world setting, money or match.

You seem to be saying that you prefer a sub-optimal NMS rollout in match play because once in a blue moon the score will be tied at 11-away. The rest of the time — in well over 95% of the possible match circumstances you might face — you would rather have a distorted measuring stick. Aren’t those priorities exactly backwards?

On the other hand, if your concern is to have a NMS rollout that can be applied in money games, is it not clear that the no-Jacoby, money rollout is going to be better than one at 11-away, 11-away?

Either way, the no-Jacoby, money rollout is the best one for NMS. The only real value for an 11-away rollout is to evaluate a position at that precise score. If you find yourself setting up to do a rollout at 11-away, that should be the reason. Otherwise, you are better off switching to UL/no-Jacoby/no-beavers.
