>Joshua_Sokol: CEELORV H4 CLOVE +26 26
#note VELOCE creates a board that might get difficult to block, and encourages Zach to hook an S on it. I preferred not to put a C on the center star, as usual.

>Joshua_Sokol: ??ETUUX F5 .X +25 124
#note This was ridiculous. I was already in amazing shape, and then I drew this crazy rack. Of course I looked for bingos for a while, then tried to iterate between other plays. 3E TUX seems like the right play here, or 2I U(S), which is a cute way to set up my X and hope to draw into something next turn. This hits a bingo the most often out of any of my other playing options, but I can exchange UUX and almost guarantee a bingo next turn. No need to do that though. TUX blocks the S in SNARLER and sets me up pretty well for next turn.
>Zachary_Ansell: AOT 3B TAO +16 56
>Joshua_Sokol: ??EETUU 8J .UE +4 128
#note problem with EX is I will miss certain bingos due to having two U's and both blanks. I once again took a while here, and realized I needed to speed up to have the best chance against the speedster in front of me. I had one bingo here. Can you find it?
>Zachary_Ansell: ACEIORT F5 ..OTIC +21 77
#note Zach didn't realize RUE took an R, but even without RUER he has a fantastic bingo available!

#note game gets boring from here on out

#note nice! I held this
>Joshua_Sokol: AINOQTU 12A QUOTA +50 389
#note did I see 8A QUAIN(T)? I think I did, not sure why I passed it up for this.
>Zachary_Ansell: ARWY 13C WARY +35 267
>Joshua_Sokol: EIIMNRT A12 .I +11 400
#note why am I fishing? Maybe I mistracked and thought there was a U left, or maybe I was just being greedy
>Zachary_Ansell: ADIP 13K PADI +23 290
>Joshua_Sokol: EEIMNRT 14C EM +15 415
#note oh I remember, I wanted him to think I had the S if he didn't have it. But instead he played PADI which was pretty bad for me.

But this play was just plain dumb. I wanted to create my own lane with him unlikely to be able to hit it and being unable to block the lane he just created. I should just play 8A REEMI(T) or 15B TERNE/RENTE. I missed all of those.
