>Dave_Koenig: ADFLMTV E5 DAV.T +18 18
#note I spent a while on this rack, saying to myself, "this can't be the best I have here. Where's the better play?" Turns out there isn't any.
>John_O'Laughlin: AGLOW F2 AGLOW +35 109
>Dave_Koenig: DEFGLMT J3 DELFT. +18 36
#note Again, the best that I could do.
>John_O'Laughlin: ACRZ D3 CZAR +40 149
>Dave_Koenig: EGIMMPT 4I T.MP +16 52
#note MIDGET 3H is clearly the best play here. It scores the most and keeps the synergistic MP combo. This is a bad miss, and cost me about 10 equity. Looking back at the position now, the play seems obvious. But it was getting late in the evening, and I was definitely feeling fatigued. The fact that I was wading through consonant drek for three turns in a row while he smacked me around every single play certainly didn't help.
>John_O'Laughlin: EFIRTY D8 .ETRIFY +32 181
>Dave_Koenig: AEGGIMR M3 MIGG +25 77
#note I made best plays here and every turn up until the phony. But it didn't matter. This game was just out of hand.
>John_O'Laughlin: AEX C11 AXE +41 222
>Dave_Koenig: AEEEKRR 5H KA.E +26 103
>John_O'Laughlin: BDO 14A BOD. +32 254

>Dave_Koenig: CEEIISU L11 U.EIC +13 212
>Dave_Koenig: CEEIISU -- -13 199
#note I seem to make it a point to play one phony five against John almost every time we play. He always challenges them off too. I know perfectly well this one is no good, too, but my eyes were getting bleary.
>John_O'Laughlin: IL E2 LI +10 329

>John_O'Laughlin: ?BINORS B5 SORBINg +64 414
>Dave_Koenig: AAJNQRW K11 Q. +22 310
#note Playing the Q at 9A is better to take away his big scoring spot and to preserve two places for JAWAN.
>John_O'Laughlin: AADHOU A3 UDO +8 422
#note He should have made his two final plays in the opposite order.
>Dave_Koenig: AAJNRW 2A JAW +38 348
