>Jackson: AAOORRW 5H .ARROO +20 20
#note karroo is slightly more defensive than karoo, but the R really helps my leave, raising my average by over 4
>Joey: DEHINR L4 H.RDEIN +24 44
>Jackson: ?AENOSW 11F WEAkONS +80 100
#note there isn't really much defensive merit to WEAkONS - WEASONs/KARROOS is the play

>Joey: ERUV 8K R.VUE +24 92
>Jackson: ACFILTU O4 FAUC.T +15 195
#note I like dealing with one of the D and the E right now, otherwise I could get bingoed on twice, which is how I lose the game. TUFA or TUNICA are okay for outrunning, but aren't proactive with the board.

He is very slightly more likely to hit the D than the E, but I still preferred to play FAUCET to FLUI(D) because I felt the D was easier to block with 14 row plays. Although, the U in REVUE gives a more complete block than the 14B spot, since 14B plays still leave bingoes starting with D. So maybe FLUID is the way to go.

FLUID and FAUCET get killed in a sim but I think I need to do one of them
>Joey: BFL I3 FL.B +17 109
>Jackson: ADIILNQ N1 QADI +33 228
#note Didn't see NIQA(AB), but not playing that anyways cause I want to keep things closed. It's between QADI and QA(D)I. Advantage of QA(D)I over QADI is that QADI can have a situation where he bingoes on the 15 row and sets up new lanes and then hits them after I play at O1. QADI also can let him play at O1, and after I block the D he can try to set up new lanes, and he won't be down by too much more than one bingo.

The advantage of QADI is that it does fairly well against immediate bingoes, and really well if he doesn't bingo immediately. I am in a great position no matter what, and I like that QADI deals with future unexpected plays better than QA(D)I because i'll have a greater cushion of points to sit on. QA(D)I does great things for the board but I don't think it's foolproof.
