Right call. Its pick scored $71, the best available.

Why it chose (Halyard's scratchpad)My fair price is $16. Regression to the Mean appears to run the same model, holds similar valuations, has $81 and also wants a guard. It will bid $16. Bid $17. It may reason one step further and bid $17, in which case I should bid $18, but the recursion stops paying after one step because we both know that.
