#note AGIL is apparently better.

#note Didn't think of playing off AY. FAY looks good here. Even if Rafi overlaps he will likely give me another lane on the right, and I also have my original lane on the left. Didn't like the REAL leave of PYA that much post-PYA, which is why I did PLAYA instead.

>Noah: AEEIINR 12C EA.EN +29 61
#note PIE has some nice properties here -- Rafi has a hard time blocking and will almost inevitably give me a decent opening if he plays at the bottom left. Sims best, makes sense. Many options!

#note I think the big question here is whether or not Noah left the Y, which is a bit hard to quantify. By random chance, he has it 7/27 so slightly more than a quarter of the time, so if you include a portion of setups in Noah's range, then perhaps Y frequency jumps to around 50%? What's tricky here is that there aren't many strong blocks... I strongly considered DUNGy/yUPON which crushes the sim if I infer a Y, but loses the sim by a similar margin if I infer nothing (which DOES still include some Y's). One issue is that playing DUNGy forces Noah to actually think, whereas letting him have a Y play saves him precious time and puts the clock back on me in what now will be a very close game. The pool is not very bingo prone aside from the blank (no E's, BCHKMWWY unseen) and on this board with NS as a flexible leave, I should be able to hold him off frequently. Deciding what % Noah has the Y is really the key factor here... if it's 60-70% I think DUNGy is clearly the right play. If it's 40% or less, then letting him have the Y spot is probably ok? But as the frequency approaches 50% it seems like a much tougher decision. Such an unusual position!
