#note It's better to go the aggressive route with 2J NTH since it sets up plays like 5I FAS next turn while taking out a lot of Karl's scoring plays hooking YE. #strategymedium

#note I need another lane since Karl can block everything with a play down from the N in NTH. Quackle likes 9K FAN a lot better, but against a human I think NOS has to be correct.

#note I'll probably still need another bingo to win, so this over SENORAS to create the TREASONS hook.

#note Champ likes this best by a lot. I'd obviously rather not empty the bag, but my options that don't empty it are all terrible. I definitely need to bingo to win, and I have to assume Karl is going to block the lanes through REASONS. Thus, I need to try to draw something through the Q and/or open another lane. 5B WEB blocks my bingo lanes and simply loses after Karl blocks the Q. 6L WEE doesn't open anything new and never hits anything through the Q. The only option worth considering that doesn't empty the bag is E5 WAB, going for CHEQUETA or ACQUIREE. The problem with WAB, in addition to the fact that it hits pretty infrequently, is that it also allows Karl to counterfish with something like 5G JO, leaving one in the bag. Then if I bingo Karl can bingo out through the R and win. WEBER can hit the same bingos as WAB, in addition to several others (ADEQUACY, CHARQUID, CHAQUETA, etc), and also opens more lanes through the floaters in WEBER. While WEBER can lose a lot of spread if Karl bingos out, the win % is so much greater (22% versus around 10% for th enext best option, according to champ) that it has to be correct.
