>Jason_Li: AOV 8H AVO +12 12
>Joshua_Sokol: AGHQRTT H7 Q.T +12 12
#note By his play of AVO I've got to assume he has an S. Therefore I should put more weight on 7F QAT as a play. It doesn't keep things quite as tight, and doesn't scare Jason into fishing like the play I chose, but it creates opportunities for me where there are none after the play I chose. I don't need an S or a blank now to get ahead.
>Jason_Li: II -II +0 12
#note He probably has a 70% chance of a bingo after this fish on average.
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AAGHRT 9F GA. +5 17
#note Some part of me hoped he didn't have an S, therefore I made the play that blocks the most 7s that don't contain an S. This is an example of inferences going wrong. I was in iffy shape so I decided to change my previous inference to better suit me. I feared giving up 7s he didn't previously have with the obvious play of J6 HA(O). This would be a great play if he didn't have an S.
>Jason_Li: ACDELST K6 CASTLED +77 89
>Joshua_Sokol: ?AHRTTW 12D THWARTe. +80 97
>Jason_Li: BJ 7J J.B +21 110
#note damn it, another S it would seem.
>Joshua_Sokol: EILNNOR E10 NO. +12 109
#note I missed 13F OLEIN, which is a good alternative. I decided against EON 11E because I thought it important to bingo back as much as possible. I stand by this play, despite what occurred next.
>Jason_Li: EILSSTU D5 LUSTIES. +63 173
#note EON would have prevented this, but yet I would have been in rough shape regardless.
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIILNR 10I IN.IER +10 119
#note Just super decimated at this point with an II draw. Desperately trying to open certain parts of the board an hope for an S or blank. 5A NIE(L)LI was missed, but at this point I really need to open all quadrants. I'm down a bingo, don't have the best bingo tiles, and there are no good lanes. Quackle thinks 5D (L)IRI is OK, but it assumes Jason will just further open the board.
>Jason_Li: BEO 13F OBE +22 195
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIKLMS E2 KILIM +30 149
#note My wish came true, but I just couldn't pull the trigger on MISLIKE, even though I am sure I have checked DISLIKE/MISLIKE and their hooks before. Awful way to choke out of a possible win. This was also not a good play compared to 14D MILK or ILK. For some reason I failed to consider those. Likely because I was still steaming over all of the I's I had last turn, and wanted to get rid of them. I was not having a good night. My rhinitis was really bad, but that's not a good excuse for this.
>Jason_Li: ?EEILNU 14H vEINULE +68 263
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEFRSU 8A FEE. +21 170
#note Having to keep my S here, as there are no viable lines that don't require it. It's close between 9M FEU and this, but since he can't block my S lanes, there is no good reason to hold on to that U because it doesn't close op column O.
>Jason_Li: ADRY 2B DAR.Y +42 305
>Joshua_Sokol: CERSUUZ 15D CUZES +66 236
#note Now I'm too far behind. Although 1A REZ is available and I missed it. That's 50. Probably not enough.
>Jason_Li: AWX 3A WAX +47 352
#note Blech
>Joshua_Sokol: DEHPRUV C6 VE.P +31 267
#note I give up
>Jason_Li: AGGINOR A8 .ORAGING +95 447
>Joshua_Sokol: DHPRTUY O11 PURTY +40 307
#note DUTY is more likely to work out for me.
>Jason_Li: AMNO 1A NOMA +40 487
>Joshua_Sokol: ADDFHOR 15J FAH +29 336
#note mistracked and couldn't be bothered. Had I played this endgame correctly, I would have won second place. As it were, Michael outdid me by 5 spread points. That will teach me a lesson, right?...
>Jason_Li: EEIINOO 4E .OONIE +7 494
#note -7 to B5 NO. I guess I wouldn't have won 2nd. Nevermind.
>Joshua_Sokol: DDOR J1 ODD.R +11 347
#note Maybe I would have. L3 D(UH) is 2 points better
>Joshua_Sokol: (EI) +4 351
