>Jackson: HMNRTTZ -HMNTT +0 0
#note NTH? I didn't consider it but I think it's a good idea, sets up my M and also makes her average go way down. big miss
>Marcela_Kadanka: BEERY H8 BEERY +28 28
>Jackson: DFLPRTZ 9F PR.Z +26 26
#note FEZ is interesting but I don't like DLPRT on this board. it works well with the Y (lots of PERTLY, PORTLY, PALTRY type draws), but marcela plays through the R or Y a lot, and DLPRT isn't so good then. I don't mind D(E)LFT that much cause I get some Z words to the Y.

DELF, DELFT, FEZ, PREZ are pretty close in a sim.
>Marcela_Kadanka: HOOT 12D HOOT. +22 50
>Jackson: DFLPTTU 11C PUTT +23 49
>Marcela_Kadanka: EF I7 FE. +23 73
>Jackson: CDFILNU 10B FUD +26 75
>Marcela_Kadanka: AEEW J5 AWEE +25 98
>Jackson: CEIILNV 5E CLIVI. +22 97
#note saw vicinal but doubted it, agh. missed civie. hoping for a challenge or that she's afraid of putting the S, but this is still a huge error
>Marcela_Kadanka: ADIKOQS I4 Q. +11 109
>Jackson: AEEINOU 11H .OUE +8 105
#note 5 Ns out so I was a bit reluctant to swing the hook like this, but there are also a lot of consonants out so AEIN was nice. exchanging has its upsides, that it makes her decisions a bit harder. if she doesn't have an N her decisions are especially tough
>Marcela_Kadanka: IOV F2 VIO. +15 124
>Jackson: AEILNNS K5 SEN +41 146
#note saw senna but doubted it!
>Marcela_Kadanka: ?AEEGOR 2E O.ERAGEs +65 189
#note she laid down muni, but then noticed the N hook!
>Jackson: AAAIILN 1K AALII +22 168
>Marcela_Kadanka: ?GIIMNN L9 MINcING +77 266
#note she laid down MUNI first but then noticed the N hook!
>Jackson: AHNORWX 15H WHAN. +36 204
#note wasn't a big fan of the scoring spot whang creates, but it leaves the big X spot open which is nice for me. I considered HON for a long time as wel, leaves the HEX setup. RAH is also interesting there cause I get XENON sometimes, but I think hon is a better version cause the setup gets 3 more points and xenon gets blocked a lot. WHANG sims about evenly with hon, a bit ahead.

one problem with WHANG is that it leaves more scoring spots open than HON does. my rack is better suited to the spots open but the EX spot gets blocked sometimes
>Marcela_Kadanka: DJO J10 J.DO +28 294
#note nice play here - 14 row scoring plays can also make annoying S hooks, and she will have none of it! She saw the possibility for JUDOKA, and I totally missed it!
>Jackson: BEMORRX 3C REM.X +65 269
#note missed BEMIX! I think BRO is the better leave here, I average 10 more points and bingo more
>Marcela_Kadanka: AEEST 15H .....EES +45 339
#note nice find, although I think she should have gone with what she originally laid down, SAT up top. at the time I also didn't realize these are the last two Es, so they are worth a lot more as well. SAT blocks a big scoring spot, and whangees opens a big spot she will have to close.
>Jackson: BDGKLOR 1G KOB +51 320
#note KOB still sims best, but if I am to outscore here I think I need to keep the K for judoka. LOB looks good
>Marcela_Kadanka: ACDI O11 CADI. +9 348
>Jackson: DGLRTTU 1B GLUT +11 331
#note she's starting to get really low on time, so firstly I wanna take out this easy scoring spot, and maybe leave some bingo options. didn't realize there were no Es left, so the M column isn't really good for bingoes. I think this still might be okay to make her decisions a lot harder. 4 points fewer than GLUT on the M column but I'm good with this
>Marcela_Kadanka: ILNSSTY O1 .NTRAINS +77 425
>Marcela_Kadanka: ILNSSTY -- -77 348
>Jackson: AADLRST N12 DAT. +20 351
#note I had mistracked and thought AAOTY and another tile was in the bag. this is really a 9 tile endgame, my rack is AADLORSTY. TRADS/ROUENS saves ROYAL to go out. I think she was overtime at this point or close to it, but I could have taken the time to track and figured out a sure win.
>Marcela_Kadanka: AINNRST 6F AN +16 364
>Jackson: ALORSY M6 ROSY +23 374
#note royals lol
>Marcela_Kadanka: INRST 7C TINS +14 378
>Jackson: AL I13 LA. +10 384
#note she lost 30 on time, final score 386-348
>Jackson: (R) +2 386
