#note ...and then chickening out of FANON for some reason. I let my head get to me big time here. I knew I had played badly against George in the last game and I was thrown off.

>Ken: AEIJLR O1 JAILER +47 172
>Avery: AAEGOOU E4 AGUE +14 271
#note Leave is disastrous but this makes it much harder to bingo. A short sim says he actually bingos roughly the same after AGUE or an exchange.
>Ken: IILNORS D1 NOIL +14 186
#note Actual rack - he wanted to fork the board. I noticed L3 TIZ as a strong play since one of the 6 O's draws into D7 ROSINOL and a number of letters draw into plays on row 13. CP puts TIZ at 6% to win, ahead of 4G LI and then NOIL. He's at about 40-45% to bingo after TIZ or LI. Turnover for a blank probably affected this too.
>Avery: ADEHMOO 1A MOO.ED +27 298
#note Did not see MANHOOD. I liked how this kept HA- plays at C3 though.

#note way too many points to pass up to block EXEC - this scores 20+ more than everything else.

#note I played better on day 1 than day 2 for sure, and I just let myself think far less critically than I should have. I only drew 10 blanks if I counted right, but a lot of S's did me justice to make it look like my mistakes weren't there solely based on scores. Happy to have gotten 1900 but I need to keep working to make sure I really deserve it. Ultimate lesson for me here is to find a way to be more focused during the game and to not let my mind wander to other things, even if I'm up by 3 wins - it's not excusable.
