>Marcela_Kadanka: DEIIMNO H4 DOMINIE +74 74
#note moving this one or two spaces up looks better to prevent overlaps or to score more
>Jackson: HIOOTVW 6F VO.IT +20 20
#note didn't like vow all that much - the left side will probably get opened with the D, and VOW's opening is a bit annoying. I'd probably play it on the right side, and I feel like she can hit a lot of overlaps and my position is not good. VOMIT creates a hook I have and prevents overlaps.

a sim likes WHO the best, which kills both of our average scores but scores the most now. I'm inclined towards the greater openness of VOMIT but not at all sure.
>Marcela_Kadanka: EV 10F VE. +14 88
>Jackson: HIORUWZ 9G W.Z +38 58
#note she took a long time on VE(E), and I had a good feeling about time rushing her, so this started a fastplay dynamic for the game. figured I could do HOURI now or WIZ now, or just HOUR. did not think of ZORI! her range is pretty good after VEE, and she didn't hold an O (or very likely did not), but could definitely be holding an S. HOURI will give back more bingoes, which is one thing I liked about HOUR. a sim has her bingoing as often after wiz as houri (inferring an S), but that will be a bit too high cause I can't infer that she doesn't have an O on quackle.
>Marcela_Kadanka: ADEGIST K3 AGISTED +79 167
>Jackson: DHIIORU L8 HOURI +36 94
>Marcela_Kadanka: ?EELMOR 4A MOLdERE. +76 243
#note I held
>Jackson: AADEINY A4 .AYAN +30 124
#note MAYED looks a bit better.

two interesting plays I did not consider - L2 AYIN and 3A AYE. this board is not particularly open and I'm kinda screwed right now, so AYIN opens the top and top right which really needs to be opened. the L hook is also easy to miss. AYE is awesome because it lets me fish for triple triples! the placement of YO also makes it not too likely to be blocked. MAYAN sims best, bit higher bingo % than MAYED.I think I'd go with AYE if I had seen it.
>Marcela_Kadanka: TTW 3J W.TT +14 257
>Jackson: DEFIRST 13I FIRSTED +89 213
>Jackson: DEFIRST -- -89 124
#note intentional phony... she at first liked it then held once she looked at it again
>Marcela_Kadanka: AQ L1 QA. +22 279
>Jackson: DEFIRST 7G D.F +27 151
#note this is the point where I notice the ANTIQUES/ANTIQUER possibility
>Marcela_Kadanka: DEGLNOS 13F DONGLES +71 350
>Jackson: AEINRST - +0 151
#note challenging does not sim best
>Marcela_Kadanka: ACF C2 CA.F +18 368
>Jackson: AEINRST 5H .R +8 159
#note this was an amazing moment. I reached in the bag and immediately picked a tile, which is always what I do but it felt nice. playing in my head was the thought of seeing the tile, the thought of telling people about this crazy comeback, and intense heart beats. thinking about how matt, on important draws, will pick one tile and drop it and pick another one, and how I didn't do that, but I really really just wanted a U more than anthing in the entire world
>Marcela_Kadanka: GOTU B7 GOUT +12 380
>Jackson: AEINSTU 1H ANTI.UES +203 362
>Marcela_Kadanka: CINO 12D COIN +17 397
#note at this point marcela is quite low on time, definitely has a blank on her rack, and took a while on this move.
>Jackson: ABEINPR 3E BAP +23 385
#note I think A(C)ERB might be the way to go, but hard to say. at some point I will want to take out a bingo lane. BAP is nice cause she doesn't have a J and it creates a threat. problem is that it creates an easy scoring spot and she could easily draw a P, Y, or B, or even just dink another 3 tiles there. I want to make her play harder, not easier.

Part of my thinking was that I wanted to hit a bingo myself, especially if she hits one now. and that BAP + J play could help outrun a bingo. I think ACERB is the better way to go to complicate the game. luckily this spot never ended up coming into play
>Marcela_Kadanka: EEIJKPS -EEI +0 397
>Jackson: EEHINOR 11E HO +28 413
#note missed INHERE, which is far better. that spot never really registered for some reason. I considered (F)ON but not (F)OE, which looks nice. FOE has a decently high bingo percentage.

definitely should take INHERE though. I think at this point I should have stopped trying to fastplay.
>Marcela_Kadanka: AJKPRSY J1 .A. +8 405
#note although who knows it may have helped. this was definitely a low-on-time induced play
>Jackson: EEILNRX 2N XI +38 451
>Marcela_Kadanka: APY 11K P.AY +18 423
>Jackson: EEELLNR 12N EL +8 459
#note I thought aboue R(EH)EEL but was not sure of it. Definitely the better play. it's so humbling and amazing how winnable this game was. every game is winnable
>Marcela_Kadanka: EJKRS 14B JERKS +47 470
>Jackson: BEELNRR 10N BE +24 483
#note and now, the most winnable part of all. I miss my only win.
>Marcela_Kadanka: ?EIU A10 EtUI +6 476
#note UNBE.
>Marcela_Kadanka: (ELNRR) +10 486
