>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AHIIRRZ H6 HAIR +14 14
#note missing IZAR????
>Luckbox_Lindh: BCJLNOP G5 JOB +27 27
#note I knew something was off about this play! My play offers the best equity but 7G JAB and 6F JOHN sim a little better. If Josh can utilize the F6 spot, this board becomes a living hell and I will probably be trading.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AINRUUZ F6 NAIRU +22 36
#note Barney Gumble voice: It begins!
>Luckbox_Lindh: CLMNPST -CLMP +0 27
#note 10D PLUMS seems to do well in the sim. Does the sim know something? Mine is pretty close. I traded 4 keeping NST.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: AKOUUXZ E10 XU +27 63
#note This is about the worst case scenario for me.
>Luckbox_Lindh: DHIINST 8C NID. +6 33
#note This was paranoid but it block ADZUKI. D11 NITID is the best equity play.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ADKORUZ C6 KA.ZU +29 92
#note this was the worst case scenario for me, also a horrendous play over ADZUK(I), which I think I somehow just missed?
>Luckbox_Lindh: AEHISTV D3 VITA +20 53
#note I should have gone with VIA instead of VITA. This one tiny mistake really cost me.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: DDEEORY 3C O.ERDYED +88 180
#note THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE PARANOID ABOUT FLOATERS! LOL!
>Luckbox_Lindh: AEHNSST 10H SNATHES +72 125
#note This play was atrocious! I didn't even see HASTENS, I just saw SNATHES. What can I say, it was game 23. HASTENS plays at 4I and 2I. 4I seems to be better even though it scores 4 less because it gdoesn't give back cheap points on line 1. SNATHES leads to a terrible looking board as you will see! And not only that, I scored it as 71. -8.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: EEINPRS 4H EREPSIN +81 261
#note Best play! Even if I do the right HASTENS, I am still behind by over 100 when Josh does I9 EREPSIN and I have no effective response.
>Luckbox_Lindh: AEGLNOV B10 NOVAE +24 149
#note I was intially proud of this play but Quackle doesn't like it. I did it to set up a G hook onto NU and open up a big line back into the game. There are very few N's out though so I5 AVO is probably the way to go. Other options just seal me into losses. Any way you slice it, things are really bleak.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BFGLNTT J3 ..LFT +17 278
#note SNATHES is terrible for board dynamics because after a long row 4 play, Josh can play vertically and everything blocks each other!
>Luckbox_Lindh: AEGILTW A8 WAG +25 174
#note WIG may be better here?
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BGILNQT 3M QI +46 324
>Luckbox_Lindh: EILMMST 2B MM +16 190
#note Did not look hard enough here. MALMIEST! at 13A. This could have potentially started a comeback. Instead I make this weird looking play. -36
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BCDGLNT 4B CL.T +13 337
#note Josh promptly shuts this down. MALMIEST!
>Luckbox_Lindh: EEILOST 1A OE +10 200
#note ETOILES is now homeless.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: BDGINOR A13 BOG +24 361
#note I missed BIRDSONG :( :( :( #findingSADDEST
>Luckbox_Lindh: EILPSTW O4 SWIPE +44 244
#note Now I miss M8 SWEETLIP for 84 which I might be able to see if I were a bit fresher. I am still probably sunk after that though, Josh will get 30 off of row 15 and I will be only a little better. -39
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: DFINORY 9M FID +34 395
>Luckbox_Lindh: CEILOTU L10 .UIC +18 262
#note I do not know.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?ENORRY 13A ..RONEtRY +84 479
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?ENORRY -- -84 395
#note I use my last ounce of brainpower to quickly challenge off this phony before my brain left for the parking garage. It's BARONETCY, though this is a pretty good phony. Josh has no playable bingos; his best play is J11 YOUR.
>Luckbox_Lindh: EEEGLOT 13L .LEG +14 276
#note I should be blocking YOUR somehow but I play this instead. My brain is in the parking garage!
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?ENORRY 11J YO.R +29 424
#note Best play!
>Luckbox_Lindh: ?AEEOOT O11 TO.AE +21 297
#note Just play something that doesn't give Josh an out bingo! I just saw Josh had REN? on my tracking sheet and figured he couldn't bingo with any words ending with E. This was literally my stupid reasoning.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: ?AELNRT 15H RENTAbL. +74 498
#note Well it turns out Josh CAN bingo! This is his only bingo. Apparently he has H6 HAIRSTREAK for 39. I certainly didn't know that one.
>Oshkosh_B_Josh: (?EO) +4 502
#note To top if off, we originally miscounted the game as 502-316, then changed it to 502-296 and still didn't get the right final score. I don't think I was winning this, but the margin should have been at least 100 points closer. That aside, Albany was still great, hope to do a few more tournaments before the year is over.
