#note I wasn't sure about Pope! Ugh. That is rather bad. Otherwise DETRAIN 12E for 73 points. Also missed TRINODAL O1 for 77 points

>Ken: BDEGNOQ 5K BOG +22 183
#note Qhackle prefers BONG 5K. I think this is better than BOG 5K for a few reasons: 1) scores 2 more points; 2) makes a parallel play on M4 harder to hit; 3) turns over an additional tile which isn't helpful to me at this time. I need to play my Q, and the N isn't helpful for that, unless I draw a U. I think at the time I didn't want to provide an S hook on the O line, especially with 4 S unseen. There is also BOG 6M which I didn't see and DELEING K5 for 36 points which is best
>Jason_LI: ACGOR 11G CARGO +26 194
>Ken: ADEENQV E3 DEVA +19 202
#note Quackle likes NEVE 14E for 21 points, but I'm not sure about that. It must be assuming that I can use my D for a big play on the next turn, but I think it's likely that Jason will use that spot, even if just to block. I would create a spot for the A line triple because of the V placement, but I'm not loving my chances to do much there given my DAQ leave.
>Jason_LI: ITT D2 TIT +13 207
>Ken: EENQUUZ 14C QUEUE +22 224
#note Quackle prefers G11 CORNU and 3A EQUID, but I would never make either of those plays. There is no way either triple opening is staying open after I play it. Quackle must be assuming that I'll hit big plays with the Q or Z on my next turn, but I just don't think Jason will leave that spot, especially on a closed board. I'm comfortable with my QUEUE play here.
>Jason_LI: ARSTW 15E STRAW +35 242
>Ken: DEEINRZ L1 ZEND. +50 274
#note I had hoped that A15 ZEIN would stay open, but Jason took care of that spot with his very nice STRAW play.
>Jason_LI: FNU C3 FUN +29 271
>Ken: EEHINOR 1G HEROI.E +57 331
#note This was also big
>Jason_LI: NT 2K N.T +7 278
>Ken: AELNSUY 12K NU +11 342
#note This was a very interesting position. I was trying to figure out what Jason's last play NET K2 was all about. I was surprised that he closed a bingo line given at this point. Thinking about it more, he probably didn't have the blank and was looking to block the S hook on HEROIZE. I was definitely confused by the play. The thinking with NU K12 was to hold the Y for a response play after a bingo down the B line. Based on the current score, I think it is extremely unlikely Jason can beat me with a B line bingo. He probably would need to hit the L on the O line, which he definitely can. Unfortunately, Quackles hates my play and prefers AYE/BOGY N4 for 18 points which it says wins 99.9% of the time compared to 81% for NU (yikes). The more I look at it, the more I really like N4 AYE: it scores 7 more points than NU, it blocks O line bingos (!), it leaves 1 tile in the bag, and it creates a response in case Jason bingos on the B line. It does give him Jason a huge potential triple word score, for example O1 TIVY or VINY -- both for 51 points if no blank used. However, that won't be enough points to beat me. Quackle also likes J11 GAILY for 23 points which it says wins 99% of the time and makes sense to me because it leaves 1 tile in the bag and scores 12 more points than NU.
