#note D(AR)TED is what I should have played, but I got greedy with DITTED. I think this is not the best time to phony here. I didn't like the big Z spot and scoring spot I created that creates hooks, and he could have an S here more than average, but I should still play something like that.

#note yeah missed the F8 spot, SNAwING looks good. this is a bit more defensive, but still not worth it

#note a big consonant heavy here. I figured I should either exchange or play OOH, cause at least exchanging I can deal with his bingoes better.

I think OOH is fine, cause of the bag ratio and cause I block the highest scoring threat. if he bingoes along F column that's not the end of the world

>Maxim: LOO N4 LOO +14 148
>Jackson: AEGNORU F4 GUAR +13 252
#note probably okay... he can hit big scores to the G which is annoying, but this also prevents 4G openings
>Maxim: ILST 11C LIST +25 173
>Jackson: EENOPPS C10 P.OP +16 268
#note EPOPEE is what I was looking for!

I am not great at these positions because I tend to overestimate how often triple triples happen. PEON is of course better than PLOP for my average score, and I get 8 more points. but there is that tiny possibility!

the other thing to consider is that, at this point, he either needs a 3x3, a huge Z bingo, or 2 bingoes to win the game. PLOP is surely the play where he bingoes twice the least often (or maybe actually PEON, but it's close). EPOPEE can backfire.

I am not sure what is best here. I usually go with PLOP style plays, but I am far from sure.

#note ZEE is more standard, but he could fork through the Z

#note nice endgame. DOE is cool to set up oven and force me to block, but still not worth
