>Joshua_Sokol: EIKNPRR H8 PRINK +32 32
#note Before I draw my tiles, del Solar says - "I just lost two in a row. I knew Jackson would get a bingo on his first turn and he did."

"And what about me?" "You?" *chuckles* "I'm not sure..."
>César_del_Solar: ADEMSTU 11G U.MASTED +72 72
>César_del_Solar: ADEMSTU -- -72 0
#note He actually accurately predicted what would happen. I would draw into a bingo on my first turn, PRINKER, and the uncertainty was the fact that I didn't think PRINKER was a word!!! Can you doubt superstition after what just happened?

He was completely screwed here, because I had just opened vertically. After 5 minutes of agonism, he played this outrageous high-prob phony.
>Joshua_Sokol: ELRSTUY H7 S.....LER +45 77
#note But was UNMASTED* actually that outrageous? It took me 4 minutes to pull the trigger and challenge a word no one at our level should ever even think of playing against another person at our level.

This looked weird and blew my rack up, but it is second only to PRINKERS. Again...
>César_del_Solar: ADEMSTU G6 MU +8 8
#note Stop fishing bro
>Joshua_Sokol: FGMRTUY 14E TUM.FY +24 101
#note F4 GYM for 27 sims a couple of points better than this. Looks better for board control so I'll agree with Quackle here.
>César_del_Solar: ADENSST 10D SAND.EST +63 71
>Joshua_Sokol: BDGIRUV 13J BURG +21 122
#note Sim significantly prefers VIG 11C here. I guess the V is that bad on this board.
>César_del_Solar: AINOV 5G AVION +21 92
>Joshua_Sokol: BDEIIRV 15A DRIVE +41 163
>César_del_Solar: CELLOR E5 OCELL.R +36 128
>Joshua_Sokol: BEIINTT B10 BITTE. +28 191
>César_del_Solar: FOY 6J FOY +32 160
>Joshua_Sokol: AAHINOP 8A PHIA. +33 224
#note missing APHONIA for 93!!! Very distracted this game. A8 OPAH is also better
>César_del_Solar: EOZ L11 ZE.O +26 186
>Joshua_Sokol: AEHNOOQ 11J HA.E +41 265
#note AHNQ is that much more balanced than NOOQ that OO(Z)E wins a sim by over 7 points. Wow.
>César_del_Solar: ETW D3 TEW +17 203
>Joshua_Sokol: DNNOOOQ C7 Q. +21 286
#note if he doesn't have a bingo this turn, I'll be good.
>César_del_Solar: ?AEINST 8H .rISTANE +80 283
#note lol
>Joshua_Sokol: DNNOOOX 9L OXO +39 325
>César_del_Solar: AJW C2 JAW +35 318
>Joshua_Sokol: ADENNOR 7M ROD +22 347
#note Much better to play 4K OREAD. I just completely missed that spot. I knew I wanted to blow the O lane, despite the pool being not too bingo-potent. I knew this didn't lead to a good tempo for me in the endgame, but it scored most and blocked. Bad mistake...
>César_del_Solar: GU H3 GU. +8 326
#note I block EULOGIAE.
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEEGNN 12L .NG +8 355
#note I may be better off blocking the G here, but I was most worried about a big play at N12. Not sure. DOsAI scores 35, and LAsED scores 34, and he's likely to have a balanced rack here. IsLED at 15K to compare is only 28. hmm
>César_del_Solar: I 3H .I +4 330
>Joshua_Sokol: AACDEEN B3 CEDE +20 375
#note -2 to 13B (T)ACAN. Didn't know that word.
>César_del_Solar: ?AEIILO 15L sOLI +22 352
#note But OEILLA(DE) was there the whole time, which is definitely worse for me than DOSAI or LASED or ISLED, as it uses 6 tiles and only leaves Cesar with one tile in the endgame. I think I should have gone with the block of the G with EG(G) considering OEILLADE. -9 for the opponent
>Joshua_Sokol: AAN 13E ANA. +15 390
>Joshua_Sokol: (AEI) +6 396
