>Robin_Lewis: DILR 8G DIRL +10 10
>Matt_Canik: AEHNWXZ 7F ZAX +33 33
#note I noticed that WAX set up some ADZ plys right after I had set down the Z, but by then it was too late to think about that. Q says ZAX is still best.
>Robin_Lewis: ?DEIORS K5 DOsSIER +84 94

>Robin_Lewis: KMNO 12D MONK +38 165
>Matt_Canik: AEEGOQT 14A GOATEE +31 158
#note I have no idea how I didn't see QAT on this rack.
>Robin_Lewis: AJU A12 JU.A +60 225
>Matt_Canik: AEEQRTV L4 QAT +34 192
#note But I saw it this time!
>Robin_Lewis: DFI 15F DIF +26 251
>Matt_Canik: CEEIRTV 4C ERECTIV. +78 270
>Robin_Lewis: ABH 3C BAH +31 282
>Matt_Canik: ADGNRST H1 GAD. +18 288
#note For this situation (close game), this is a terrible rack to draw. I can't score points and basically *have* to fish. This sucks. T(HE)GN is a better play than his. DRAG L9 is also beter.
>Robin_Lewis: IILP M1 PILI +23 305
>Matt_Canik: INPRSTT 5A PINTS +34 322
#note T(I)P 2L is an interesting fish. I think that's a better play here. (HE)T allows a bingo with any vowel pull except I, and also S.

Sort of a fan of taking the non-volatile option here and just tryng to in an endgame. But TIP is intriguing.
>Robin_Lewis: BU 1M .UB +21 326
>Matt_Canik: CEFILRT 6A EFT +37 359
>Robin_Lewis: EO 1G E.O +4 330
>Matt_Canik: CILNRTU A5 ..NCIL +30 389
#note I should kill her best bingo line along the 9 row. This does that.
>Robin_Lewis: OY 11G OY +12 342
>Matt_Canik: LRTUUVY 9K .VY +13 402
#note My thinking is this: if she has BARONESS she has BARONESS, but I'm trying to disrupt any bingos starting in an S down the M and N rows. Q wants me to play LUV for 6, but it can't make inferences about her rack.

(B)URY is also an option- empties the bag so she has no chances to fish, but loses to bingos along 9 and M.
>Robin_Lewis: ?AEEORS 9C AREnOSE +77 419
#note The unseen pool to me was AEENORS?. I knew I was screwed :(
>Matt_Canik: LORSTUU N4 STOUR +19 421

>Robin_Lewis: (LU) +4 431
