#note didn't consider PEEING! makes overlaps harder cause of the vowel consonant configuration, alternation is usually easiest for paralleling

#note premature maybe? with the huge HOWES hook and 11 and 14 row scoring spots, I liked going all in on volatility. I wasn't sure of LU(P)I(N) but it's a pretty nice play - saves Es with few left, and the L i'm opening works really well with my AEET leave. My issue with leaving the 11 and 14 row spots alone is that taking the 11 row leaves nothing for me in return, and my rack is really shit for outscoring if I play EVITE or ELUVIA or UVEA. at least with EAU I partially inhibit the 11 row spot and also open the 15 row for myself.

If I was sure of LUPIN I'd play that though
>max: ADQU 15J QUAD +23 277
>jackson: AEIILTY 8A YI. +24 289
#note really happy with this cause the Y works well with my leave
>max: EKU 11J UKE +37 314

>max: OX 10A OX. +29 343
>jackson: AEILOTW B1 TOW +25 403
#note happy with this cause I save the case E for C2 overlaps, and the pool is really consonant heavy so I'm happy to keep AEIL. The S hook on HOWES is slightly dangerous, but the pool is really bad for bingoes so it's mostly scoring plays that could hit. TOW outruns well though.
>max: AORZ H1 RAZO. +49 392
>jackson: AEGILRT C2 GET +25 428
#note now the pool is really bad for bingoes, but scores are still possible - BOMBS or BRAVOS can be big, so I have to make sure I outrun enough. GET scores well and most importantly leaves fewer than 5 in the bag, so he empties the bag if he hits an O column play, giving me endgame timing. I played GET over GEL because the L works really well as a soft letter to counter all the heavy and hard letters in the pool.
>max: AAMORTT O14 .M +12 404
>jackson: AAILNRV N11 V... +7 435
#note the only bingo in the pool is BARBOTS, and nothing through the A or R in RAZOR. It's possible he would fish with ABORST here, or even ABBORT or something.

I was confident I could outrun everything else, I'm saving D3 RA(V)IN which doesn't get blocked often. If it does get blocked, he's spending both consonants for something like SAVOR and I can easily win.

vera seems to win 100%
