#note definitely messed this up - ZONE is really risky because he has an O a lot of the time, but I also score really well after ZONE as opposed to NOH or HOB - ENNZ? is actually really bad, the Z doesn't score very well here if I don't get d1 and the Ns hurt that.

This often happens where the more aggressive play scores more, and is bad in terms of scoring defense, but I also gain from it and so its superior score wins out. NOH is okay as a more defensive option. F2 zone kills it
>patrick: APY D4 YAP +25 160
>Jackson: ?ENNSTZ H3 NETiZ.NS +67 129
#note maybe play this on the bottom since I'm still down, he'll play and be up a lot, so I should keep the board open. that being said, n(e)tizens kinda closes the top of the board, and it generally takes less effort to open the bottom than the top
>patrick: ADGR F3 DRAG +26 186
>Jackson: ?ACEFKL C9 ..CKLE +30 159
#note FA(N) might be worth it. I liked opening up the board, and especially setting up a phony hook. I doubted this would get challenged
>patrick: DIMN 14B D.NIM +28 214

>patrick: EOW 12A WO.E +30 244

#note the first of two times this tournament I play off two vowels keeping AEIO? !
>patrick: DEG 13E GED +19 263
>Jackson: ?AAEINO 12G AEONIAn +67 282
#note felt the lower plays for 1 more gave too much back
>patrick: AQTU M9 QUA.T +46 309
>Jackson: EINORSU N9 IN +19 301
#note with no A on my rack and a case S, this feels kinda forced. I can bingo if he doesn't block, and if he does block I can outscore with a QUANTS play
>patrick: EIORTUV N8 V.. +6 315
>Jackson: EEORSUW 14J WORSE +46 347
#note no Ns out, which is the clear hook for WORSE. Felt he was playing pretty conservatively, so I figured he might not hook the R on WORSE. And even if he does, still worth it to play this
>patrick: EIOPRTU 15N RE +8 323
>Jackson: AELOTUY I2 YULE +15 362
#note in a pretty good position now - I can afford to block all the miracle binges
>patrick: ER 13I RE +12 335
