>Mike: ADEEHIJ 8D JEHAD +48 48
#note Forgot about the I hook.
>Carl_Johnson: ALNOOOU 9D ONO +19 19
#note JOUAL D8 is best (-5). 7F placement of ONO is superior to mine because it does not give back as much.
>Mike: ADEIMSW 10F WAD +32 80
>Carl_Johnson: AALOTUX D8 ..UAL +24 43
#note Sim-winner here is TAXOL 11B. (-5)
>Mike: BEEIIMS H10 .EMISE +36 116
#note Plays involving JEHADI (MIB, BISE) sim best. BIONOMIES 9B is cool.
>Carl_Johnson: ?AEOTTX G12 OX +38 81
>Mike: BEEIOPR E11 BIO +20 136
#note RIPE I7 is best.
>Carl_Johnson: ?AELTTT H1 TwATTLE. +77 158
>Mike: EENNOPR 15A NEOPREN. +89 225
>Carl_Johnson: DIMRUVV 3G V.V +17 175
>Mike: ADGIITT B8 DIGITAT. +78 303
>Carl_Johnson: ADIMNRU A4 MUDRA +42 217
>Mike: CEEGRST E5 GRE.. +12 315
#note GETTERS 5E leads the sim (barely) over CLEG 6G, which I considered and then rejected.
>Carl_Johnson: EFIIKNS I7 FINE +46 263
#note There are a lot of scoring options here! There's KEF 7G, FES 14F, and lots of plays down column I. My play sims best, but close behind is FIN I7, sacrificing 9 points to keep the E. I thought about FIN, but decided that the WADE hook wasn't much of a threat since all the Ds were gone and the R opened up a bingo lane on column K.
>Mike: CCELRST 13A L.C +10 325
#note Worth it to cash out with CELTS J4.
>Carl_Johnson: EHIKNQS 11A Q. +11 274
#note I was excited about all the different bingos I could draw to EHINKS on this board. Fishing the Q hits about 30% of the time.
>Mike: CEOPRST 1B PROTEC.S +63 388
#note C: Ouch!
>Carl_Johnson: EHIKNRS 5H .HINKERS +80 354
>Mike: BEORSWY O1 BROW. +42 430
#note EYEBROWS! Didn't even look for a bingo here.
>Carl_Johnson: AFIILNY 6J FAIL +38 392
#note A tough choice. FAIL/FAIN might not be enough to catch up, even if I draw optimally. SALINIFY is phony, but maybe I could get away with it. (Mike said after the game that he would have challenged.) Sim winner here is SALIFY, emptying the bag and hoping to draw a bingo. I'm skeptical that that's any better than my play, but maybe it's right.
>Mike: EEGIOSY 14F YE. +38 468
#note OY N2 sims slightly better, though this is still 100% (albeit not without a little scariness, as you'll see!).
>Carl_Johnson: ?AAINYZ 2J ZANIe. +68 460
>Mike: EGIOSUU C1 .OUGES +14 482
#note GOES 2A is best. And this has to be ROUGES, not ROGUES!
>Carl_Johnson: AY 1K YA +14 474
>Carl_Johnson: (IU) +4 478 |
