Player 1
#player1 jackson jackson
#player2 soak soak
>jackson: ACEELRW H4 CLAWER +28 28
#note it seems like more and more these short plays are optimal but I keep playing the long ones. I prefer playing Josh on a more open board, which CLAWER helps achieve. WE sims a couple points above CLAWER but I feel more comfortable on the CLAWER board here, also because Josh's defense will make ACELR do worse than usual.
>soak: ADLNOOP G7 OPAL +21 21
#note super weak play to start things off, I focused way too much on my own leave. G6 DOPA seems fine or DONA in the same spot
>jackson: DEEENQT I6 DENE +26 54
#note considered exchanging as well, but DEET is sorta scoring defensive, and 26 points is fine here. sims well best
>soak: ADDNOTY F3 TOADY +23 44
#note now I totally miss F7 YOD
>jackson: AEQRTUX J8 TAX +36 90
#note noooo QUARTO!
>soak: DIIINNS 11I NIDI +21 65
>jackson: EOQRTUU L8 QUO.T +48 138
#note really happy to save another U!
>soak: ADIINST M3 DISTAIN +84 149
>jackson: EIJLORU L2 JOLE +31 169
#note not much point to EILOR here with JUS
>soak: AEEFGNS K5 FAG +26 175
#note I almost played E5 FE to be aggressive, but decided to block the big Z spot and keep my S. Apparently I should still keep the G and play K5 FE.
>jackson: FILRRRU -FILRRU +0 169
#note LRR is particularly bad on this board, and FRUIT opens up some options for him unnecessarily. This board is very S-dependent, so I really preferred exchanging to go all in on the S and ?.
>soak: EEMNSTV N2 VENT +28 203
>jackson: EMNRRST 5E M.R. +12 181
>soak: EEIILMS O5 SIMILE +32 235
#note now would have been a good time to play the JoshMove 13J MISLIE.
>jackson: CENORST 13F CRETONS +76 257
#note I enjoy slotting the E here to counteract the N10 hotspot
>soak: AEEEIRS N10 AERIE +18 253
#note this was a devastating draw
>jackson: ??BORUU 15H RUBOUts +79 336
#note missing OUtBURn for 7 more.
>soak: EEFGHSW 1M FEW +35 288
>jackson: AAIPUYZ 12G AY +20 356
#note definitely blocking OPALS, even though the pool is shit I can afford to be super careful here
>soak: EGHKNOS 6B HOKE. +25 313
#note I see no way to really do anything here, maybe HONKE(D) instead so it's more difficult to block lanes
>jackson: AIIPRUZ 7C PI +20 376
>soak: BEGHNSV D6 ..NG +10 323
#note the optimal endgame here is probably the most difficult I have ever seen.
>jackson: AGIORUZ 8A GUA.O +23 399
>soak: BEHSV 3D BE.H +13 336
#note OMG I was wondering why BETH was not quack's top choice
>jackson: IRZ A8 .RIZ +14 413
#note and after ORB I play ZIBETH!!!
>jackson: (SV) +10 423
