#player2 Joel_Wapnick Joel Wapnick
>Pete: EGGRRSU 8D RUGGERS +70 70
#note I found the bingo immediately. I didn't want to fool around whith whether or not there were any front hooks on the TWS, so I played it here.
>Joel_Wapnick: BDEEINT J2 BENDIE.T +69 69
>Pete: DHLNTUW 3G UNW.D +14 84
#note THRU I6 is best, which I totally whiffed on. My play was second, 4.6 points behind. I took a long while on this play... a tough early position.
>Joel_Wapnick: AEFTT 5E FATTE. +20 89
>Pete: EHLNSTZ 4D LEZ +40 124
#note easily best. Gotta love the no-brainers when playing a great of the game.
>Joel_Wapnick: ?ADEEUV C8 DEVAlUE +83 172
#note I didn't have the guts to challenge Joel freaking Wapnick here... especially since I saw it set me up.
>Pete: CHNORST 11A CH.NTORS +76 200
#note Only bingo. Saved an otherwise tricky rack.
>Joel_Wapnick: AADEEEO - +0 172
#note And then, he holds... and challenges. When a really good player challenges, you start to doubt yourself, so I imagined that I was misremembering when we walked to the computer. And then... Acceptable. Wow.
>Pete: AAJNOST 10F JO +52 252
#note Another no-brainer. Altho ANNOTATE H1 woulda won me major style points.
>Joel_Wapnick: BDEEW 15A BEDEW +48 220
>Pete: AAFMSTT 14B F.M +30 282
#note I missed FRAT 17, as I apparently blanked on the spot. FEM scored, but leaves awful and finished second,3.3 behind. But I had a lead, and scoring isn't a bad idea.
>Joel_Wapnick: GOO 6F GOO +29 249
>Pete: AAIOSTT A7 ATTI. +21 303
#note Wow... I'm shocked how bad ATTIC does. way behind TAO 12F. STOAI H11 was another bad miss on this position... and of course I'll pay.
>Joel_Wapnick: AEIINOP B1 EPINAOI +74 323
#note and I pay immediately.
>Pete: AAAOSUY A1 YO +34 337
#note when playing Joel Wapnick, I don't need AAUY draws. Duck likes BAYOU, but I couldn't justify leaving the super hot-spot open, even with the awful leave.
>Joel_Wapnick: EOPY H11 .EPOY +33 356
>Pete: AAALSSU 2J .AALS +17 354
#note JOUALS woulda been sweet. I went with BAALS, forgetting the far more defensive anagrams. I'm trying to avoid panicking... bunch of good stuff unseen, and it's close.
>Joel_Wapnick: AILM 1L MAIL +38 394
>Pete: AAHINSU I13 AHA +22 376
#note I knew I had to keep the UI for a possible Q play. I didn't like blocking, but I didn't see a bingo as my likely way to win. With AHA, which wins sim, I'm banking on drawing some of the good stuff left.
>Joel_Wapnick: INX J11 NIX +22 416
>Pete: INQRSUV 15H ..NQUI +19 395
#note I decided to set up the S hook, in case the blank was in the bag. If it was, I had a vague chance at a big play. Duck likes VIRL D1, which sim says wins about 21%. I'm really missing how. Please tell me.
>Joel_Wapnick: ?CEIKRR N11 RICKs +38 454
#note Missing ICKERs, which he saw after the game. Not in the cards for me this time.
>Pete: ILORSV M9 VIOL +15 410
#note Missing VIS/BEDEWS, but all in all, I'm not at all upset with this game. I played OK... Maybe not Joel Wapnick level, but ok nonetheless. Feel free to criticize on my LJ.
>Joel_Wapnick: ER 3D ER +10 464
#note Missing REE 7H 11, which he saw postgame.
>Joel_Wapnick: (RS) +4 468
