>Michael_Fagen: EINOOT 8D TOONIE +14 14
>Joshua_Sokol: AAINRRY 7I YAR +19 19
#note With the same tiles, I should have opted to play 9E RYA for 2 more. I failed to consider that, because I was focused on complementing my leave with the board. At a certain risk.
>Michael_Fagen: AHKL 6G LAKH +42 56
>Joshua_Sokol: AAIIINR D6 AN.IAIR +14 33
#note And now with this horrendous draw, I didn't want to rely on a good one next turn. I prefer this, since I may still be able to win without a bingo after this. But maybe it's just too much to give up to not play INIA at 9D or L6. This might have been a result of tilt.
>Michael_Fagen: IQU 10B QU.I +33 89
>Joshua_Sokol: EILRTUX F10 LUREX +46 79
#note I really was in no shape to play this game correctly as it seems. EXULT is a 5, and this is one more point at L4.
>Michael_Fagen: ADEJ L4 JADE +31 120
>Joshua_Sokol: IIOPSST 8L SPIT +35 114
>Michael_Fagen: UV 5K V.U +12 132
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEGIOS 14D GO. +11 125
#note I think I just play G3 COA(L)I(N)G here, which I saw and didn't really think enough about. I had a feeling I was now in really bad shape. C12 AGIO may be a better version of this play if I think Michael is about to bingo.
>Michael_Fagen: ?DEHLNP 11F .NHELPeD +76 208
#note I had to win by 26 to pass Michael in spread. I would have probably let this go if I didn't need to win by 26, and also if I had seen my bingo. But I just knew it was all wrong, and hoped that this was not a word. I didn't really recognize it, and Michael couldn't know.
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEEINS - +0 125
>Michael_Fagen: EMOW 12L MEOW +35 243
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEEINS H10 C.AINE +36 161
#note Before MEOW, this play would make much more sense, despite probably being worse than the bingo. This is because a play down from the W is now very likely and an easy way to block the lanes I just created. But still, I missed the bingo. It wouldn't be a classic Josh game if a very high prob bingo was not missed.
>Michael_Fagen: ADEGOTT O12 .AGE +24 267
>Joshua_Sokol: DEENORS 15A REDO +22 183
#note :/, I think I just take the 5 extra points with REDON here. Decided to keep the better leave.
>Michael_Fagen: FFIR C3 RIFF +25 292
>Joshua_Sokol: EENOSYZ 5E OYEZ +45 228
>Michael_Fagen: ABW 4E WAB +23 315
>Joshua_Sokol: EENSSTT 2C TENSEST +70 298
#note Michael hesitated to play RIFF, probably wondering what the hooks were. I took advantage of that, but it was too little, too late.
>Michael_Fagen: ?ADOST 1G DOAT +26 341
#note Michael had the S and the blank and that was that.
>Joshua_Sokol: EGIRTUV 4A TU. +4 302
#note I also knew he had the blank, so I had to just go for OL and hope he is too focused on the spot I just opened and fails to block OVERGILT. But I failed to see that these tiles also go at 6A and I could also hit REVOTING if Michael completely misses that. But he won't miss that one, so no real difference here.
>Michael_Fagen: ?CILMNS 14J CoMIN. +32 373
#note Missing a fantastic out bingo
>Joshua_Sokol: BEGIORV A1 VER.IGO +33 335
