#player2 Will Will
>Steve: BEIJ 8H JIBE +26 26
>Will: AADKORT L4 TROAD +33 33
#note Should've considered more options that don't hook JIBE and burn the K, such as 7I KAT/KOA. I give up a lot of bingo chances by keeping the K. That being said, TROAD is okay; it gives back good bingo lanes, but it creates a pretty poor board for scoring, so if Steve doesn't have a bingo his next play is often weak.
>Steve: NQ I7 Q.N +23 49
>Will: AACKPRS 6K K.AP +16 49
#note Not sure I considered CROAK in the same spot, which scores 11 more at a cost of a solid chunk of bingo%. I did consider J8 BACK but didn't like that it eliminated the QINS hook and potentially enabled Steve to score decently through or parallel to the K, eliminating all S hooks from the board in the process.
>Steve: EY 7K Y.E +20 69
>Will: ACINORS O6 SARONIC +97 146
>Steve: ?AEEFIR 10E FREEsIA +75 144
>Will: ADDENOU F5 UNADO.ED +62 208
>Will: ?DLLNRU (challenge) +5 213
>Steve: HIU 12L HUI. +18 162
>Will: ?DLLNRU 11K LUN +17 230
#note Best equity already and forming UH kills row 13.
>Steve: OS H8 .O.S +13 175
>Will: ?DGLMRW 5D GL.M +14 244
#note Maybe lucking into misses of GLUME after this, or else DWAM to defend against nasty plays to the triple like -ZED or -XED words, which seemed quite unlikely after Steve's play of JOES.
>Steve: IILV D3 VI.IL +18 193
>Will: ?AADORW 3C A.OW +20 264
#note I was hoping to create a new bingo line with AVOW but perhaps with seven Es to draw, leaving the V open by playing G5 MAW is actually helpful to get heavier OVER- words down a lot. MAW also scores 3 more points.
>Steve: EOST 8A TOES +26 219
>Will: ?ADGNPR B7 D.GNAPeR +76 340
>Steve: AEFIRST 14A F.AITERS +63 282
>Steve: AEFIRST -- -63 219
>Will: BEEELNZ H1 LEEZE +80 420
#note I tanked here a while, trying to predict what bingo miss would be likelier. I decided FAINTERS was an easier find than FRAILEST and played LEEZE for slightly worse equity hoping for the whiff.
>Steve: AEFIRST N12 .F +5 224
>Will: ABNTTUX C11 TAX +42 462
#note In a vacuum my move might yield so many more points to a random rack than other options here that I should play A13 TUX or A13 TUB setting up my X instead, but knowing that Steve is holding AEIRST, TAX is better than usual - we know he doesn't have an O and good scoring tiles play to the triple or to reparallel on column D with EXO, making me a favorite to draw such a play myself. On the other hand, he draws a ton of bingos that hook DOGNAPERS with those letters after fishing his F, so blocking them with TUX might still be slightly better than TAX.
>Steve: AEIORST 14I OARIEST +80 304
>Will: BCENTTU 15H CUB +27 489
#note A13 TUB yields lower average scores to Steve than plays along row 15 like the one I made, and I also get more bingos down afterwards. I was somewhat surprised to discover this until I realized that almost all of the heavy tiles remaining (HVWY) score very well hooking EX along column A, and if he has the O he might have even heavier scores there with EXO. Additionally, there are no playable sevens for him in the pool, so blocking the row 15 bingo lane isn't even necessary, whereas I have a ton there I can draw leaving CENT after TUB in addition to the ones I luck into through LEEZE.
>Steve: MOV A13 VOM +38 342
>Will: EHNRTTW D12 NTH +35 524
#note Correct
>Steve: EGIIY E10 .Y +26 368

#note Correct
