PANINO is fun. PANINI, PANINIS, PANINOS*
>Tim_Fish: DIKY F6 DI.KY +25 25
>Matthew_Ridout: AACEHHO D8 .OACH +24 44
#note CHEAPO #1

I'm surprised POACH is outside top ten, though maybe is because I'm hoping Tim doesn't know the Y-back hook
>Tim_Fish: ??AFIST I6 FASTIng +68 93
>Matthew_Ridout: AEEGHLT H1 LEGATE +29 73
#note KHET a runaway #1, leave is easily good enough to justify giving up 3 points
>Tim_Fish: MV 10H V.M +14 107
>Matthew_Ridout: GHNOTUY 13B GUY +30 103
#note GUYOT, same spot

#note RUTH J4 #1
Mine was just outside top ten. LNOS looks like solid enough leave, but is it -so- much better than LUT as to sacrifice 12 points?

SHOTGUN for 38 was most fun
>Tim_Fish: AESW A8 AWES +28 145
>Matthew_Ridout: LNNPTUX K1 UNP.NT +16 153
#note PLEX 2F was best, though not by lots. I considered it, didn't care for keeping the duplicate N's -and- a U. '

10 points was a lot to give up, but I'm counting on scoring the X solidly later.

#note GRAVLAX. All irghty then.
>Tim_Fish: EJT B6 JET +28 199
>Matthew_Ridout: AEIOOOX C6 OX +43 229
#note best
>Tim_Fish: FOT D4 OFT +22 221
>Matthew_Ridout: ACEILOO E1 LOOIE +22 251
#note COOLIE 3A best by a hair over mine
>Tim_Fish: BB 7E B.B +21 242
>Matthew_Ridout: AACELOU 1A LOCA.E +27 278
#note best, though I'm surprised LOCULE in the same spot doesn't make the board at least.
It's late enough that I see not spending the case U with the Q unseen as important, of course
>Tim_Fish: EI M1 .IE +8 250
>Matthew_Ridout: ADIMRUZ N3 MIRZA +40 318
#note I'm especially curious for opinions on this move. Was my play too aggressive? He's just fished off EI for seeimingly-likely good bingo leave.

I ran a 5000 iteration, 5-ply sim on this one and MIRZA did in fact show up best at 87% to win, despite giving up the most avg points on opp reply and, unsurprisingly, the highest chance of a return bingo.

I never saw IZARD G11 which game up second at 85% to win. At a sacrifice of just 2 points, I would've played it. Tim can bingo from N3 as easily as column O, but for more points from O.

I considered CUZ from CI, but the case U looks to important.

#note Worst fear realized.

#note best, but not enough
