>Seth_Lipkin: EIILOOY 12H .OILY +14 28
#note actual rack - OI(L)Y or OILI(L)Y are cool here.
>Jackson_Smylie: AABDGIW 11J GAB +26 97
#note bagwig is a cool word. I don't think there are many scoring options here, so I chose not to play DAG(O)BA to keep it that way, I think I'm more favoured on a bad scoring board with ADIW than I am on a more scoring board with IW.
>Seth_Lipkin: IOQU F8 .OQUI +36 64
>Jackson_Smylie: ADDEIIW G6 WI.D +17 114
#note about the same equity as WIELD, and wield gives more scores back.
>Seth_Lipkin: ?AEEGHS 15H .HEnAGES +86 150
>Jackson_Smylie: ADEIISX 13H .XE +39 153
#note considered DEIXIS/COQUIS, (A)X and (A)XE. I saw AXIS but dismissed it, and I'm not sure if I saw IXIAS, maybe I'd play that. I think I overestimated ADIIS here - it's really quite bad for scoring and will take another turn to turn into a bingo leave. DEIXIS has the advantage of drawing more scoring tiles on a board that is starting to be better for scoring. downsides are that he'll get first crack at the spots, and likely might not give much back to me. AXE holds an S for two s hooks that are hard to block, which is why I ended up playing it. AXE is more of a long term play, cause I will be favoured keeping my S (also to play a COQUIS play). This tournament I wanted to play more aggressively and less scaredly. I don't think this is a fearful play but it's also not a great one. I bingo a bit under 17% with axe, and a bit over 12% with deixis
>Seth_Lipkin: EF 14N FE +22 172
>Jackson_Smylie: ADIIPST 10K PADI +22 175
#note I'm still down a tempo, I liked making this aggressive play.
>Seth_Lipkin: AAEINRT 6C ANTI.EAR +65 237
>Jackson_Smylie: DINOSTV 13B VOIDS +35 210
#note more aggression...
>Seth_Lipkin: EKU 5C KUE +26 263
>Jackson_Smylie: AFMNNTZ D12 F.Z +30 240
>Seth_Lipkin: DEIORRS 4C OR +17 280
#note both of us forgot about OVOIDS - this is his actual rack. DORE looks pretty good here. I may have played DIVOTS instead of voids if I remembered ovoids!
>Jackson_Smylie: AEMNNTU A9 UNMEANT +90 330
#note axeman is a nice play
>Seth_Lipkin: DIL J4 DI.L +5 285
>Jackson_Smylie: BIJORWY 4J .OWRY +24 354
#note so I have him definitely on an S here, otherwise I might expect a more aggressive opening. My main options I considered were (D)OWRY and JIB(ES). My thinking was that DOWRY both limits PADIS and limits an M column bingo, and can outrun some bingoes as well. JIB(ES) is a more complete block, but leaves the D in PADI which beats me a fair amount if he plays there. If the score were a bit closer I'd prefer (D)OWRY, but in this case it is a mistake. JIBES outruns other bingoes enough that it's worth making a complete block, mainly to prevent him making plays like he will right now...
>Seth_Lipkin: ELR N1 REL. +14 299
>Jackson_Smylie: BIJNNST 2M J.T +10 364
#note not a happy play here. Wit an EIRS specified leave, which is a bit optimistic (and also seth's actual leave) he bingoes 13% after JIB(E) plays, and 32% after plays making PADIS. Given that a fair amount of those bingoes will be through the E in rely and not the R, and I outrun every bingo that isn't a triple triple (maybe with the rare bingo the R that scores a lot), I should just play JINNS. I don't think I outrun PADIS bingoes all the time, surely under 50% even. I was fearful this turn
>Seth_Lipkin: EIMORST O5 EROTISM +85 384
>Jackson_Smylie: BEINNNS 5I B.NE +25 389
#note N(I)NE wins 1/8 accoridng to Q, but doesn't actually seem to win. his wins are hard though, COVE(T) with my a draw, THECA(E) with my O draw. bine sucks
