>Jack_Overby: EEEOUYY -EEOUYY +0 0
#note J: Day 3! Will I continue with my campaign to run the table, Aaron Rodgers style? Or will the twins grind my dreams into the dust?

My play is standard and sims best, though keeping Y or EY are both almost as good.
>Charles_Reinke: AAGLRST H4 GRAAL +16 16
#note C: GASTRAL plays in fourteen different spots on this board. I can't believe I missed all of them.
>Jack_Overby: EFIILRW 6G W.IF +18 18
#note J: Thanks for the D and E, jerk! ;-) I passed on I7 WIFE for leave and board dynamics reasons, and to my delight, my play sims best.
>Charles_Reinke: ABESTTV 7F BE.T +17 33
#note C: This is the highest-simming play that keeps the S, because after screwing up GASTRAL, I obviously have to bingo with that S in order to retain my sanity. Quackle likes K4 VEST or VAST.
>Jack_Overby: BEILMRT 8A TIMBRE +43 61
#note J: Best by 9-10% WP.
>Charles_Reinke: AOSTTUV 4H .AVOT +18 51
>Jack_Overby: ACDELUW 3K WUD +21 82
#note J: Basically tied for 1st, with 5K WAUL 26.
>Charles_Reinke: DGSSTUX 7B XU +24 75
#note C: Got stuck on dumping the X this turn, K3 (WO)GS is better.
>Jack_Overby: AACELOQ 5E CEO.L +24 106
#note J: I thought this play was the bees' knees, but it's about 2% behind B4 COAXIAL 20 and 5C COALER 22. COALER is better for sure.
>Charles_Reinke: DEGPSST 5K PEGS +33 108
#note C: (WO)GS is an option again (still didn't see it), but creating an easy-to-use S-hook here is valuable.
>Jack_Overby: AANNOOQ -AANNOOQ +0 106
#note J: No thanks, AXION & ANOXIA. A handful of exchanges (keeping A/N/AN/ON) are better.
>Charles_Reinke: DEHHSTU E8 .UTH +14 122
#note C: Trying to set up a few more spots.
>Jack_Overby: ACDIOSZ 2E ZODIACS +86 192
#note J: Yes, that happened. Can't believe I hit my fish!
>Charles_Reinke: ADEHLOS 9H SHOALED +73 195
>Jack_Overby: ?AGJNOV 1F JOG +54 246
#note J: Duh.
>Charles_Reinke: AEENNOO 8L ANON +23 218
#note C: Sims best, but blocking all those lanes for eights is not helpful. I suppose Jack will almost always play to the TWS next turn if I don't take the spot.
>Jack_Overby: ?AKNNRV J8 N.VA +15 261
#note J: Might have gone with N7 VODKA 23, had I seen it, but this sims best regardless.
>Charles_Reinke: EEEEEOY -EEEEOY +0 218
>Jack_Overby: ?IKLNRY 11H cR.NKILY +78 339
#note J: That'll just about do it.
>Charles_Reinke: DEIINQT H11 .ITED +18 236
#note C: Setting up a place to put the Q. H11 (c)INQ is crazy but might be my only chance to win.
>Jack_Overby: ?EEIRTU 15A REqUITE. +77 416
#note J: That's all, folks!

C: I guess I'm glad I didn't put down CINQ.
>Charles_Reinke: EINQRRS 14E QI +28 264
>Jack_Overby: AFIMNOY M11 .MINO +14 430
#note J: Another shaky preendgame move. Obviously, I want to block the T (ATROPINES/TROPINES/TERRAPIN/etc.) and save myself something, but there are other ways to do it. Though IMINO saves me FAY, I realized after hitting my clock that N11 LIMN saves me OFAY, which is even better. I'm sure there are other better plays, too.
>Charles_Reinke: AENORRS O11 .EARN +27 291
>Jack_Overby: AEEEFPY 3D FAY +33 463
#note J: Suboptimal, because it gives him O/FAY (duh). 7L PAY 25 is 9 better.
>Charles_Reinke: IORS 7L SORI +18 309
#note C: Was so focused on this fun overlap play that I missed the O hook on FAY. In summary, I don't want to analyze any more of my games. Ever.

J: C2 SORI/OFAY is 10 better.
>Charles_Reinke: (EEEP) +12 321
#note J: Not much to say. A standard bagging. But I'll take it!
