#note nice

#note I think this was the turn where I realized "oh shit I had DOMICILE that whole time!" Thankfully it was never the right play due to the leave
>Rob_Robinsky: LOSV 10F VOLS +23 207
>JD: EEGILNZ G9 Z. +21 139
#note this play was really hard to figure out. start with DOMICILE? Fish once and save DOMICILE as the fallback? I saw that EEGILN combined unusually well with the V, but Q still prefers FEZ over ZO (it is 10 extra points). but the top play is DOMICILE, which makes sense - even though I probably won't bingo, the Z plays nicely as a fish at 1N next turn if I can pull an A or O, so I buy that DOMICILE is correct.

#note I'm a slight favorite to pull off the win after pulling the blank here.

#note ok, that complicates things
>JD: ?BDOSUX C1 BOX +42 283
#note amazingly, I have a bingo here, although SOUNDBOX isn't the right play. I passed up XU because I didn't think BDOS? would bingo well on this board, but BOX gives back a TON of free points for no reason on a pretty tight board. definite error.
>Rob_Robinsky: EINRU 1A RU.INE +27 340
#note exactly why BOX was wrong
>JD: ?DFNSUU 5K F.UD +16 299
#note I debated FUND at C10, but I really liked this play - bingoing on column M is likely to give back big counterplays, whereas if I can hit column O I can likely score more and give back less. I also thought that playing FUND risked giving Rob back bingos unnecessarily, whereas it is impossible for him to hit the S lanes on the right.

>JD: ?BCENSU 7L .B +7 306
#note BUNCE. ZOBU. UN. 3 really different ideas. First of all, BCESU? actually bingos more than CENSU? (including SUBJECT for a zillion if I pull the J), so fishing N is definitely better. past that, I think ZOBU is definitely a better play - without giving too much back to Rob, it sets up another high-scoring bingo lane in another quadrant. The question after that is whether BUNCE is right. I'd be worried that I draw poorly and don't have time to clean up my rack, but Quackle thinks I'm 67% to bingo afterward. In hindsight I'm tempted to take BUNCE here because I think my path to victory is simplest. I'm down enough that he may outrun a low-scoring fish, but after BUNCE + a bingo, I should win if I can draw an out.

#note gotta lay it down and hope. I scored this as 80

>JD: DEEIRTY 11B TEDY +30 414
#note I didn't see TANNOY, but I'm screwed anyway because I couldn't figure out how to block ATONY on column C without giving him an out. eventually I ran out of time.
