>jacks: AELOORR F3 ROO +8 32
#note then I promptly forget about reovirus! I played this to make the position tougher and to keep the S open for me to hit, as I likely have the better rack. this may not actually make his position too hard as he has lucrative hooks with BDFKM. REOVIRUS is a big miss. #visionlarge

#note no point doing ALB keeping ENPT, that leave isn't very good here. This is the second turn in a row I miss ASCRIBES and am not punished for it. Q likes fishing with PRELOADED as much as NIBLET cause I hit 19/45 tiles for 7s. I am happy with this play, again am happy to lower risk a bit

#note now I am finally burned for missing ASCRIBES! ARIARY comes up for the second game in a row, but this time I'm more confident it's best. TIARA has defensive merit as well, but I will want to deal with ASCRIBES at some point, especially because he can use it to fork the board and open the top left. ARIARY given his EFIKN rack looks best. This play error looks medium in size but the mistake of missing the A hook is a huge error. #visionlarge
>fagen: DEEFIKN M7 F..NK +16 255
>jacks: EIMRTWY G9 W.Y +13 330
#note he could def have an S or draw one, so I wanted to take out the spot. This play is way nicer if ASCRIBES isn't a thing, but my position isn't so strong given that. I'm not sure what the play is given ASCRIBES - WRISTY does score better which I like, but still keeps the top left open and doesn't address FLANKS. Although WRISTY is nice to go all in on outrunning, it also makes the board a lot better for hitting two bingoes and making a bit comeback.

>fagen: DE M7 .....ED +30 302
>jacks: AAEHMRT 12H HAMAT. +30 380
#note Although I'm in a great position after HAMATE (his bingoes will empty the bag, leaving me up a tempo in a close endgame, meaning a very likely win), I should still do AHEM N11 - I really loved what that did, but I was only 90% sure that AHEM didn't take an S, and if it takes an S that could be a game-losing mistake. I felt like the chance that AHEM took an S was higher than the chance that HAMATE would lose me the game when AHEM would win me the game. Either way this is just an estimation and a clear word knowledge error. #knowledgemedium
>fagen: HIM 13G HIM +27 329
>jacks: EEERSTU 11L U.E +9 389
#note still in a really good position, even though I can't block the 14 lane without giving back a bigger lane. I would have liked to leave 1 in the bag, but didn't realize at the time how crucial that was. The entire plan with U(K)E or 10M (N)EE is for him to bingo on row 14 immediately, giving me back plays on row 15 that should easily outrun. However, leaving 2 in the bag allows him to fish one, possibly N(U) 12C - after UKE I'm up 60, 58 after the fish. It's really hard for me to block bingoes, and I'm stuck either trying to outrun by playing something clunky on row 14 (again hard to not give back good overlaps, gotta hope for like GENUS or something), or outrunning with a UKES play, which will put me up 84 or 87 (depending on if I draw the G). After he gets my rack, I will be up between 76 and 81, and a lot of his row 14 bingoes score more than that (e.g. GIGATON, INNAGES). I'm still in a decent position given that outcome, but he could also fish for a higher score and still not allow me to block - e.g. ZA or ATE. Perhaps I should do RE(D)E 13K to play 3 tiles, forcing him to bingo immediately. It puts me up 60, but all his bingoes will be on the 14 row, and I saw my T for HIST and S for other HI? plays, so I should be outrunning even his 80 point bingoes very often. Although UKE is great for spread, it opens the door to some really great 1 tiles fishes that I can lose to quite often. #strategylarge
