>Josh_Sokol: AAEILNR -A +0 0
#note isc wouldn't let him play a :(
>Jackson_Smylie: ACEGRVX H8 CAREX +44 44
#note seems like carex is still right, and josh's ex. 1 range is a bit looser than most other players'. VEX is hard to resist, but I figure he has a t a good % of the time, maybe 40%, he suggested 30%. AEILNT specification, CAREX wins the sim by a good amount, and still wins by 4 with AEILNR (As he had).
>Josh_Sokol: AEEILNR 10E NEA.LIER +62 62
>Jackson_Smylie: AGGJLUV K5 JUGGL. +30 74
#note figured juggle only gives him a couple extra points on average over JURAL,and the JURAL leave is unmanageable. I might get JAGG sometimes but still probably not worth it. Q agrees
>Josh_Sokol: ACEIINT E5 ANCIE.T +36 98
>Jackson_Smylie: ?ADIILV K5 ......D +34 108
#note vidalias plays, which I saw, and I missed DIL(U)VIAN/DILUVIAL, but I'd still take juggled
>Josh_Sokol: DINOOPT L4 TOPOI +36 134
#note g1 joosh
>Jackson_Smylie: ?AEIILV M3 VIE +24 132
>Josh_Sokol: BDEKNSU 5A SUNB.KED +65 199
#note BUNK(I)E is awesome, actually completely tied in the sim with sunbaked. depending on what josh thinks my range is, I can see taking bunkie. it doubles his bingo % and doesn't let me score as much. my range here is interesting, cause I didn't have an E with JUGGLED, yet had extra vowels with VIE. Sunbaked pulled ahead by 1 point as I typed this
>Jackson_Smylie: ?AEGIIL C2 GAI.LIEr +68 200
#note AIGUILlE!
>Josh_Sokol: ?NPRSTT 3A TR.NSePT +62 261
#note PT(E)R(I)N is sick! and the P is a good lane for him. sims just behind the bingo, once again!
>Jackson_Smylie: ADIMOTW G10 .WAIT +23 223
#note considered lots but didn't like many plays that didn't attempt to open the board. M(E)ADOW is nice and I might play it had I seen it. SWAMI or WA(T)T(S) and those plays I ruled out cause josh can just keep it tight and win quite often, I think i'm in a bad enough place I need more pressure than that. WO/OP above transept is worth considering, but too easily it is blocked and I don't see myself bingoing that often with it, and it's just handing him free points, which is really bad right now. AWAIT is at least hard to block, though it doesn't score great and doesn't keep a great leave. I'd probably take meadow
>Josh_Sokol: EFFMORV B8 MOVER +23 284
#note OFF M7 looks like a nice play, but a couple problems: it doesn't do anything to block the board, unlike mover, and it also leaves the possibility for me to play GIFT, which is really not ideal (he could block with TIN or something but still that's not a good position. my worry with mover is that I could actually outrun after it, like a play like (S)AWED or something isn't that rare, or SIZE, and I'm not in a good position after that, but could come back with another big play or hitting an AWAITS play. EFFOR(T) is a cool play cause it restricts a lot of these openings - still leaves bingoes starting in S, and the 8s from the S. Q says I don't average too much more after mover at all, just 4 more than EFFORT, and about the same as REFORM and VOTED. Effort wins the sim cause my bingo % drops from 9-11 with the other plays down to 4%.
>Jackson_Smylie: ADMNOST 2F MO +23 246
#note MONAD/NOMAD? DAMSON? I don't know here. I figured an E is quite likely on his rack right now - he keeps one fairly often and still draws one a lot. I don't see myself scoring my way back into this game, so I wouldn't play DAMSON (though I didn't see it). These middling plays like NOMAD don't seem to do much. I think I need to maximize bingo % here. I considered UPDO as well to keep laying on the threats. MO does a similar job but allows him to score a bit more. I'm not sure what to do here!
>Josh_Sokol: BEFFLRY 1E REFLY +45 329
#note BELFRY is 61!!! interestingly, BLRY is 7.1 better as a leave than BF according to quackle. +1.1 vs. -6.0
>Jackson_Smylie: AADNNST M7 AND +16 262
#note ooh missed (GI)ANT, which is looking decent. I need a big bingo right now, which is one of the problems with this board being so scoring heavy (good job josh).
>Josh_Sokol: ABEFIOY A12 OFAY +36 365
#note he's at over 97% to win here! stay tuned!
>Jackson_Smylie: AEHNOST A5 .HOE +36 298
#note fuck, missed OATHS, which I might have played. if I play oaths, I sort of need to hope he doesn't have an E play there, which is possible cause only the D hooks the OR. Yeah I'd play that, and an occasional QU draw is good as well.
>Josh_Sokol: BEIOQUW F12 WOE +27 392
>Jackson_Smylie: ADHNRST N9 AH +16 314
#note hated everything here, champ says SHAD wins over 1/10, I don't see how that works... I was hoping here for a big bingo and maybe stick him with a Q or Z
>Josh_Sokol: BEIQSUZ O5 SQUIB +54 446

>Josh_Sokol: EIUZ A1 ZI. +36 482
