#note Quackle likes K10 PAVE for 26 points (by about 7 equity points). I think because DLR is a decent leave with a vowel-heavy bag and the D and R are valuable for playing off PAVE. The V placement at K12 makes it hard for Joel to make a high-scoring parallel play on the K line, which means it is reasonably likely that adding a D or R to PAVE will be available to me on the next few turns. This is especially true because after I play PAVE the game is essentially tied, meaning Joel can't just block and has to score

#note Missed 1F CEPHALIC for 68 points. Not an easy bingo to find, but this was the key miss. Quackle says CEPHALIC gives me 89% chance to win versus 38% for HAJI.
>Joel_Horn: NOT 15E NOT. +14 350
>Ken: CCEFLRT 13A CRE.T +12 351
#note Best play is 2D CERCAL for 12 points which will allow me to win 50% of the time. I was looking for a play like this but couldn't find it. The key is to go out in two without giving Joel a huge comeback. CERCAL accomplishes this in part due to defensive placement of the C at D2
>Joel_Horn: EEENOTV A11 ON.ET +24 374
>Ken: CFKL - +0 351
>Joel_Horn: EEV 13L .EVE +14 388

#note Another loss to Joel. My fault here: didn't make winning plays.
