>Jackson: AALRUWY H8 ALWAY +30 30
>Matt: EEHINOU I8 HOE +20 20
>Jackson: DIKRTUU J6 DUIT +18 48
#note totally misevaluated the defense of this - actually raises his bingo % (makes ALWAYS more accessible, opens the D) - I thought that blocking the G column was a nice idea but there's no reason to do so and sacrifice 2 points. 5 point error
>Matt: EINNQSU 13H SEQUIN +44 64
>Jackson: ?BIKNRU 12L BURK +40 88
#note huge swing from keeping KRU - in? works well with the K in this position
>Matt: EIMNOPR O12 .NOP +30 94
#note Q's favorite here is actually MI(K)RON, followed by G9 POM
>Jackson: ?AEILNR 12A LINEARl. +72 160
#note INTERLAP!!! that is huuuuuuge
>Matt: CEEIMRS K1 MERCIES +77 171
>Jackson: DEEFHSX 2J F.DEX +48 208
>Matt: AAEIIOV A8 AVAI. +24 195
#note With a different score, I'd play VOICE but I feel like AVAIL will keep this board open very nicely for the long run. Down a tempo and holding a bad leave, I'm an underdog right now and I think I need the variance
>Jackson: AEHOOST 1K .OHOS +51 259
#note MAHOE, jeez
>Matt: BEGIOOT 11K GOBO +26 221
#note Keeps that pesky B line available unlike BOOTI(N)G for 28
>Jackson: ADEERTU E8 AURE.TED +68 327
#note thought this was good...

M: this is inexcusable
>Matt: EILNRTZ D4 NERTZ +69 290
>Jackson: DGGIILW 14A WIGG.D +32 359
>Matt: ?EILPST 4H TIE.LaSP +80 370
#note Huge turn for me here and I'm not sure what to do. I feel like bingoing now still loses more than it wins. I can play LIP at 14I holding EST?, which is a pretty solid bet to draw a bingo, but any kind of block through the 4, 5, or 6 row makes my life really tough after that so I think I have to bingo now. In hindsight, I like SkELPIT B2 more but I didn't see that in the game, only TaLIPES which gives back huge poteitla plays for Jackson.
>Jackson: AFILOTY 15A OF +35 394
#note OF leaves 5 in the bag which is kind of annoying cause he can easily leave 2 or 1 in the bag and try to outscore - luckily AILTY works well for outscoring even in those scenarios cause I can do an out in two with 1 or 2 tiles in the bag. DAFTLY I considered cause it leaves 2 in the bag and the pool has some junk so him doing an out in two with 2 in the bag might be tough. Q likes OF best, followed by FORTY
>Matt: AIJMNOT N14 JO +40 410
#note M: I felt to happy to draw the important J for this spot and more excited that Jackson left 5 in the bag so that I could turn around and leave 3 in the bag for him. What's alarming is that the pool looks kind of bingo-prone right now, and the B line is just easy money to hit. JO(R)AM 6B stops all of that but gives Jackson a pretty easy to solve 1-in-the-bag endgame while he has tons of time on his clock. I think I did the right thing here, but I knew my prospects were slim

J: I think this is the way to go, try to bingo himself. JORAM probably doesn't work too often.
>Jackson: ACILRTY B2 CLARITY +83 477
>Matt: AEIMNTV 15E .EVIANT +36 446
>Jackson: AEN 13C AN.E +25 502
#note huge mistakes this game - DUIT, LINEARLY, AUREATED*, MOHOS
>Jackson: (M) +6 508
