>Ruth_Hamilton: EKOY 7I YOKE +35 47
#note exactly why the other QIN placement was correct

>JD: ANOPSTW J10 W.OP +20 126
#note not a terrible idea, but why not go all the way and play POW at 6L? there aren't that many Ns left for POWN and I have one
>Ruth_Hamilton: ANUY 12B YUAN +27 170
>JD: AFFLNST M11 .FF +18 144
#note weak - I spotted the superior FLYEST for 40, but passed it up to play this. I also have PFFT, which is basically the same move but 6 more points. I'm not going to burn my S against a weaker opponent even though STAFF at 14J sims best, too much variance for me
>Ruth_Hamilton: AACIIST -AACII +0 170
>JD: AALNSTU 10L UTA +17 161
>Ruth_Hamilton: DEEOTV M2 VETOED +39 209
>JD: ?ALNOST O4 LATrONS +75 236
>Ruth_Hamilton: DEIR 2J DRI.E +26 235
>JD: AADEMSV B10 MA..D +34 270
#note this outsims MAAED by a point or two - vowels are at a commodity, which I think explains why MAYED can be worth a 6-point sacrifice.
>Ruth_Hamilton: ENOZ A7 ZONE +43 278
>JD: ACEESTV 1G CAVE +30 300
>Ruth_Hamilton: IX A13 .IX +33 311
>JD: AEJRSTU 4K JU. +20 320
#note tough play - I felt it worth the 16-point sacrifice because AERST is going to be so much more flexibile (especially if I pull an I). I think I would probably play JA against a higher-rated player where I have to be OK with more variance in order to win.
>Ruth_Hamilton: ABP B6 BAP +28 339
>JD: AAEGRST C3 AGRASTE +92 412
#note missed GASTREA for 8 more points - really need them here in case she bingos!
>Ruth_Hamilton: CGIILLM 13M .IL +6 345
>JD: ?HIILMO D1 MIHI +35 447
#note cool pre-endgame - it is about 3 points better assuming a random draw to play HILI than MIHI here because I can draw bigger outs (BROMO, DUOMO/DSOMO and SLOMO). cool!
>Ruth_Hamilton: CDEGILR E4 GLIDER +21 366
>JD: ?BLO 5H LoBO +28 475
#note I did not play very well - ruth had a shot at me if she could pull a blank
>JD: (C) +6 481
