#note Q felt pretty bad here, cause no QI or QAT bailouts or even good QU options, but still COVER felt like it was worth it over exchanging. Q agrees
>joey: EOZ 6H .OZE +33 49
>jackson: AHOOQSU 5K HOO +22 42
#note didn't consider G7 OHO - it looks counterintuitive cause it blocks AROMAS, but i average over 3 more cause I keep the OOZE hooks open, and some of his OOZE hooking plays will give back to me. Still it is slightly more defensive to play HOO, and overall looks better to OHO.

QUASH sims about 1.5 above HOO, which sort of makes sense. It looks like a close call here...

#note missed the star play of CERMET/TWAE. I'd rather be fishing here, but I'm also down enough that 1 bingo doesn't always win. CERMET means 1 bingo will win, and if I draw good scoring tiles I can get back in scoring range.

of non-TWAE plays, lime sims best, even though it doesn't bingo quite as much as M(M) or (E)LM. I considered C2 REM and I2 REM for a long time as well.

They're both really aggressive plays, but have downsides. CELT is a lot worst than CERT as a leave, and c2 can easily get overlapped with closes both the TWAE and TREM hooks, while letting Joey score. I preferred I2 REM for that reason.

I2 REM might definitely be better than LIME since I can get really high scoring bingoes that actually win the game. REM probably is better than LIME because LIME will do worse after Joey's defense. for joey to block REM he has to sacrifice more than other places.

TWAE is still a good hook for me and hard to block. I2 REM sims the worst out of like 10 plays I considered, but I think I should play it if I miss CERMET

#note meh at least he's forced to play here, hopefully he doesn't have anything good...

EF just lets him play defence and I have to hope to hit one of 15 row or O column, rather than hitting either
