#note JETLIkE!
>jackson: ADIIIRU -DIIIU +0 25
#note probably ADR here at least. Didn't like ADIR on this board so much, with the open I and not amazing bingo prospects. it's close
>Karl_Higby: ?ACELNN N3 CLEAN.Ng +61 117
#note CAYENNE is cool. also binnacle/pinnacle play
>jackson: ABOORRU G8 .ABOUR +10 35
#note missed BARO(N), which looks best. TABOUR might be next, just to maximize bingo %. ROO under TO is also fine, setting up BROO and keeping space open. One day I will figure out whether it's more important to open immediate lanes or keep space open, when down by 100
>Karl_Higby: GMMORST H11 MM +20 137
#note GROMMET looks nice here, though MM blocks a lot more
>jackson: DINOOOR O10 INDOOR +28 63
>Karl_Higby: GNORSTW 4J GROW. +18 155
#note I would strongly consider WRONGS here, closes off things for next turn, takes away the tabours hook. Definitely some defensive merit to growl though.

some people might play STOW/TABOURS for ultimate defense.

#note he has an S or maybe even two, gotta block dis
>Karl_Higby: AFIIRST J2 FI. +15 277
>jackson: BEHHKLN O1 KH. +30 301
#note I really rushed this play! I have KH(I) for nice scores, and the case Hs for the 10J spot. Despite his Ss, I'm in decent shape for scoring.

I took KHI immediately because he can play at O1 himself and KHI + THE plays will outrun bingoes decently well...

but I should play B(AYS). I didn't consider these blocks hooking AYS, only considered (R)E and quickly discarded it because it makes my scoring potential worse than his.

BAYS is great because it saves KHI and H-- plays for next turn.

Q says I am right to ply KHI though, or even play HEN! even with STAIR specified (and all these Es to draw) it says he only bingoes 35% of the time. This is kinda surprising. I guess AERIEST doesn't hit... I'm sure I would have played BAYS if I had considered it

#note at this point the pool is shit and I'm not too worried about FIGS bingoes
