#note TO(R)II, TAI(K)O, and exchanging all have fairly high valuations - TO(R)II is the sim favourite by a good deal, which makes sense. I felt that TORII had defensive merit in blocking the SES, hopefully leading to a more closed board (especially the top left). TO(R)II felt a lot more open, although short term it's just as defensive as TORII.

#note J(O)T 8d is interesting because it blocks a lot of really devastating openings there - stuff like C(O)T just wrecks me.

there can still be S setups after JOT but it's much harder to make unblockable ones. I think almost everyone would take JERK immediately, especially because it partially blocks the BULWARKS hook, but I can at least see JOT being better cause of longterm defense

#note looks fine, I considered FoH but that can go south. with 2 blanks in hand I doubt I'm losing even after an O column or 15 row bingo

#note blocking miracle Z bingoes.

I considered R(O)D as well to block S setups, but the T hook is unideal.

An interesting idea is playing just OD/BOD, cause there aren't any setups he can really make in the pool! if he plays ROD to set up his T, I hit my P

#note with the T draw I can basically end things. Joey resigned
