>Matthew_Larocque: AACEGPQ 8D APACE +20 20
#note I was so focused on finding my table and my opponent, I almost never knew what my opponent's rating was. I think it helped me to keep a really neutral minset, and just play my own game.

Although the C is probably more desirable than the G, APACE not taking an S probably evens it out versus AGAPE.
>Diana_Grosman: OZ F6 ZO. +32 32
>Matthew_Larocque: ?FGIQTU H4 FIQU. +21 41
#note I had a feeling going for a Q bingo was the better play, but I'm still not comfortable enough to try it.
>Diana_Grosman: ALW E8 .AWL +18 50
>Matthew_Larocque: ?DGIINT 5H .NDITInG +68 109
#note DrI(F)TING.
>Diana_Grosman: ELNNOST K5 .NSOLENT +66 116
>Matthew_Larocque: ADEIOST O5 .ODETIAS +83 192
>Diana_Grosman: ANUV L1 VAUN. +24 140
>Matthew_Larocque: CGHILOV N1 LOVI.G +33 225
#note Didn't know the alternate VOLING.
>Diana_Grosman: ABF N8 FAB +31 171
>Matthew_Larocque: CEHMORX M9 HOMER +43 268
#note I took a lot of time here. OX O1 looked like the automatic play, but HOMER allows me to score a lot of points in a more difficult spot to hit (needing an O). I felt okay about saving the X.
>Diana_Grosman: EINRY 1I NER.I.Y +39 210
>Matthew_Larocque: CEEIJNX 2I EX +52 320
>Diana_Grosman: ABY J8 BAY +35 245
>Matthew_Larocque: CEEIJLN I9 CEL +22 342
#note Nothing jumped out to me, so once again I opted to save my time here and simply cover this hotspot.
>Diana_Grosman: EKO G2 OKE +17 262
#note Ruh roh
>Matthew_Larocque: EIJNORT 2F J. +25 367
>Diana_Grosman: DIP 7B DIP +11 273
>Matthew_Larocque: EIINORT F10 OI +13 380
#note I can still survive a weak bingo, so I just crossed my fingers and hoped for a surprise.
>Diana_Grosman: ?DGSSTU 14H DiSGUST +81 354
#note Luckily she didn't know/missed DEGUSTS.
>Matthew_Larocque: AEIMNRT 15C MINARET +90 470
>Diana_Grosman: EEORRRW B2 REWOR.ER +78 432
>Diana_Grosman: EEORRRW -- -78 354
>Matthew_Larocque: AEHTU 14A HAUTE +24 494
#note REWARDER would have been valid and made a gigantic difference in spread.
>Matthew_Larocque: (OEERRRW) +20 514
