#note i don't understand why i can't win every game ever. what does jesse do when his opponents open with two bingos?
>cesar: ACIOQSX 15A AXIS +55 89
#note no. the S hook can wait! get rid of the Q now and try to draw exosmic or something awesome like that. -7.5
>karl_h: BBEINSU K2 NUBBIES +83 221
>karl_h: BBEINSU -- -83 138
>cesar: CGNOOPQ 7I PONG +19 108
#note i have to block snubbier. quackle likes POGO because i'm probably gonna use that spot next turn! i need to get better at "what to play when i know my opp's rack" theory. -4
>karl_h: BBEINSU K9 BUB. +16 154
>cesar: ACMOOQT H11 Q.OTA +42 150
#note dammit i actually chickened out on MOOK. this is not too much worse but i need to be better and keep up the scoring since he's probably gonna bingo next turn. maybe MOOK for 44 and i get another 40-something next turn through the U. -2
>karl_h: EIILNOS 6D ELISION +71 225
>cesar: CEMOVWY M3 COVEY +49 199
>karl_h: DI 9I DI. +21 246
>cesar: AJLMMTW 4L J.WL +30 229
#note maybe 14A TALK. score 8 more and keep the J for scoring next turn? what an ugly leave though. i prefered AMMT. -6
>karl_h: IOT O1 TOI. +12 258
>cesar: AFMMOOT 14A TOO. +38 267
#note BAD mistake, chickening out on MOOK again. sad! -10
>karl_h: II -II +0 258
>cesar: AFMMRVW -AFMRVW +0 267
#note i know he just exchanged two but i need a blank or something. 5D MAM keeps up the scoring but scores so badly, and also i wasn't 100% sure that MAM was not CSW-only. oops. -4.5. notice i kept a consonant because the bag is vowel heavy. maybe i should keep the R?
>karl_h: ?AEINNS 1H cANNIES. +74 332
#note karl literally bingos every turn
>cesar: AAEIMNT 5A ANIMATE +80 347
>karl_h: DEGW A4 W.GED +42 374
>cesar: EEEERRY 2I REE +13 360
#note I12 EYER looks best, maybe, or EYEN, but i wanted to create a lane and make him worry about closing it. I12 EYER scores the most, and it is tempting, but what's my path to victory after that? hope for some lucky 9, or to outscore him with the Z or something? -7
>karl_h: AAGIR B8 AGRIA +11 385
>cesar: EEEFPRY 14F RE.YPE +19 379
#note i''m bad at these types of pre-endgames! i didn't see a way to win. I12 EYE is the best championship player play (how does it win?) i was mostly hoping for an out in 1 after RETYPE, and TEPEFY just seemed too easy for him to score a lot with the Z (which i assume he kept after AGRIA!)... one other problem with RETYPE is that the bag is quite likely to be two consonants. i don't see a good way to win at all. RETYPE and hope he can't find a high scoring 5.

#note NO NOT THE Z
