>Jackson: ABGIORV C3 VIRGA. +22 107
#note mostly considered BOG and VIRGAE here (not RIVAGE cause I don't like setting up the Z bomb - I will feel inclined to block it later). I didn't consider BOVID which has some advantages. BOG closes the EPI lanes but leaves the 4 row - VIRGAE leaves the P and marginal I lane

his bingo % is pretty similar after BOG and VIRGAE (very slightly higher after virgae). One nice thing about BOG is that blocking the D in DOUMA will not result in opening other lanes, whereas blocking the P in EPIBLAST requires opening lanes, making BOG a bitmore defensive. Part of my reson for VIRGAE in the end was that I was worried about 6b plays after BOG, like COT or something, which make my life really tough. Q likes BOVID as it has some defense and decent valuation. I'm not sure what's best here

>Jackson: ABEIOOO 4H .OOBIE +18 125
#note even with AENRS specified, doobie wins the sim - I'm not giving back too many bingoes that wouldn't otherwise play, and I'm scoring way more in the process

#note missed OATY for one more!

#note which fixt do you play? classic situation where I have two conflicting motives: my lead inclines me towards closing the board and lanes, whereas my rack inclines me to leave lanes open. If the score were even I would do 4b. My rack is better than his average rack, so I gain more than he does by leaving the 12-14 rows open. in this position, I felt like my lead was enough that I want to start closing lanes - if he plays on the 15 row, I can parallel uraei and block further (or do a more exhaustive block). 2b fixt commits me to an open board which is not what I want here.
>lerman: ?DEELNT 15E DENTiLE +76 226
>lerman: ?DEELNT -- -76 150
>Jackson: EEFLMST O1 FLEETS +37 247
#note seems between FLEETS and FEME here. he's probably playing through the I in EPIBLAST (listened or something) - keeping LST with FEME sometimes bingoes and sometimes hits the O column with another scoring play. FLEETS leaves the 15 row for me though. I felt like LST would go south too often when I don't bingo, and the M guarantees me a more solid score. A sim isn't very helpful cause it has him playing NEsTLED after FEME, which I think doesn't happen often
>lerman: ?DEELNT E7 L.sTENED +66 216
>Jackson: EEHMNOO D11 HOMO +34 281
#note I have 2 of the last 4 Es, so making ME with HOMO makes the overlap more likely for me, rather than HE with MOHO
>lerman: EORU 15H ROUE +17 233
>Jackson: CEENNSV C11 SCENE +39 320
#note sucks to play my last Es, but this wins a lot cause his bingoes probably will not outscore me
>lerman: ?CGHIJN 9I HIC +25 258

#note don't want to risk TORQUING after QuIZ or QAID

#note now didn't see any way to lose
