>Joey_Krafchick: EFIW H5 WIFE +20 20
>Jackson_Smylie: AHLNNSX I6 NAH +20 20
#note I like keeping things tighter and more complicated against joey, so I would never do something like ANNEX. If he plays with a WIFE hook, it's possibly my X gets value.
>Joey_Krafchick: PUY G8 YUP +18 38
>Jackson_Smylie: ACILNSX 7H ..X +13 33
>Joey_Krafchick: GMO F9 MOG +18 56
>Jackson_Smylie: ACEILNS 12F SCALENI +77 110
#note I'm not sure why I didn't play INLACES for 1 more... the MOGS hooks is unideal, but it's not like SCALENI closes the top left too much
>Joey_Krafchick: ADEGSTU L8 GAUD.EST +63 119
>Jackson_Smylie: DEILRVZ 14J VI.ED +34 144
#note with LAZAR and GRIZ and lots of other stuff with E draws, the Z seems worth keeping here! Q only cites a 4 point increase in my average score with VISED versus LAZED, which sims best. I'm surprised!
>Joey_Krafchick: AGJR H11 J.GRA +39 158
>Jackson_Smylie: AILNORZ 8L .RIZ +42 186
>Joey_Krafchick: IIOT 11K I.IOT +16 174
>Jackson_Smylie: AALNNOO E8 NALA +24 210
>Joey_Krafchick: ?EEENRU D2 UNREEvE +67 241
>Jackson_Smylie: DDHNOOR 2B HO.ND +26 236
>Joey_Krafchick: CKMO D11 MOCK +30 271
#note Joey took a while to play this, which made me wonder if he kept an S. I would expect him to play this more quickly if he had an S
>Jackson_Smylie: DIIORTU 1A OUD +20 256
#note I wasn't sure of DU(C)I, which I like a lot. It goes all in for the bingo, which I will probably need. I could also do IDIOT, which is good if I think he isn't keeping an S, cause it reaches tiles for the S and goes the outscoring route. IDIOT also makes a good lane I can hit, even though it really compromises my leave for hitting said bingo lane.

DUCI does well when Joey did keep an S, since I won't be able to realistically outscore after he plays at 15a, so IORT and the B column lane I create are the best I can do to up my bingo chances. I think OUD is terrible, since it doesn't accomplish much. It doesn't do as well as IDIOT in any regard except raw bingo% next turn, but it's still quite low. I think DUCI is the play.

I like to think I would have played DUCI if I was sure of it, but I can't be sure
>Joey_Krafchick: ?AELSTY M2 pLASTE.Y +89 360
#note nice
>Jackson_Smylie: EIIQRTW N1 QI +24 280
#note pretty sure this was my rack. Gonna need some scoring plays and a bingo to win this game. now heavily regretting OUD, as the board is basically dead.
>Joey_Krafchick: ABLOTV 1F ABVOLT +36 396
>Jackson_Smylie: AEINRTW O1 IT +41 321
#note hoping to open something next turn, so didn't want to play off 5 tiles.
>Joey_Krafchick: BEFORRS L4 FOE +26 422
>Jackson_Smylie: AEENRRW 13L .WER +27 348
#note time to throw in the towel
>Joey_Krafchick: BEIOPST 15A POTS +35 457
#note very nice endgame! BOTS does a slightly better POTS because after I block, PIE can go out for 2 more points than BIE
>Jackson_Smylie: AENRR 13A RAN.E +14 362
>Joey_Krafchick: BEI O6 BI.E +15 472
#note very nicely played game by Joey
>Joey_Krafchick: (R) +2 474
