#note Maybe 9F AI is too many points to pass up, but I decided to gamble he wouldn't have a play again.
>Deen_Hergott: FFI 9G IFF +31 31
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABDELSW F9 BAWLED +30 52
#note This or keep the ED/EL. Couldn't decide which is better, but they're probably both fine.

#note Can't wait to overvalue CONTEMPTS fishes for the rest of the game.

>Deen_Hergott: JOY 13D JO.Y +42 246
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EIKNOOU 15M OKE +29 273
#note This is just poor leave evaluation. UKE is better. and OIK may even be better too. But B8 KOINE simming well is a bit surprising too. Doesn't increase his average score as much as I thought (mostly because he's bingoing elsewhere on the board a lot of the time, I think).
>Deen_Hergott: ABEER 4H BEA.ER +28 274
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: CINORUX O6 CO.URNIX +68 341
>Deen_Hergott: ?EGILUV 5B dIVULGE +74 348
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAEGHLN 12H HAE +27 368
#note Other players I considered were AAHING, AHING, HAEING, HEALING. It felt like those all gave back scary scoring spots for the Z. But maybe I'm too frightened about something he only has 50% of the time? And maybe I need to place more value in blocking the column B/C/D bingos (albeit conceding other lanes). I completely failed to see LAIGH, which solves a lot of the problems I am worried about here. Only problem is that the leave is so bad on this board that I just get outrun by standard Z plays and me drawing innefective 1-pointers. At least HAE threatens a very real shot at bingoing. I'm a bit surprised AAHING and AHING do decently in the sim. I kind of just auto-lose to ZA, but maybe a coin flip is the best I can do anyway.
>Deen_Hergott: DRU M1 DUR. +10 358
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AGGLNRS D13 ..G +13 381
#note This only loses to D in the bag, which I figured was impossible after DURR, since he would only make that play if he needed to undouble a D. I have to admit I spent a lot of time considering GRA(BE)N. And even though the word MAZAEDIA was beating me over the head, I failed to realise that GRABEN gives another far more likely spot for it. At least I got it right eventually. EDIT: Never mind, this does appear to lose to I in the bag, since Deen is able to block my bingos and outrun in the endgame!
>Deen_Hergott: ?AAADEZ C3 ZA.DA +32 390
#note Deen can win with D3 LAVA here, setting up AZIDE without giving me any big scoring plays back.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AGILNRS E1 SING.LAR +59 440
