>Edwin_Roth: ELMOT 8D MOTEL +20 20
#note There was a lot on the line this game. If I won, I pretty much win the tourney if Joe Petree wins by not too much or if he loses. If I lose, I could finish anywhere from 2nd to even 5th depending on what others do.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADFINR 9C FARAD +28 28
#note I did not get the U that I was hoping for to play UNAFRAID. Probably just FA is fine. This is 5th.
>Edwin_Roth: DEX 10D DEX +62 82
#note Ouchies. This was one of the dangers of FARAD.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILNOUYY D8 ...LY +22 50
#note Not much to think about here. Only decent scoring play I have and is best.
>Edwin_Roth: ?ACESTV 11F AVoCETS +83 165
#note Nice find, a slightly better play might be ACTiVES or AdVECTS in the same spot to not place a vowel over a premium square.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BILNOUY C12 BUOY +25 75
#note Did not know BOUSY, that should have been the play here. I saw BUOY 10J but that doesn't help when I'm down. This play is not bad.
>Edwin_Roth: AJ 15A JA. +39 204
>Samuel_Kaplan: IILNQST I11 .INQ +16 91
#note Yep
>Edwin_Roth: AENZ 14B Z.NAE +54 258
#note Lol when it rains it pours. Nice play!
>Samuel_Kaplan: CDILSST 15F DITS +34 125
#note Kept the most synergistic leave and got rid of the T because of the open T in AVOCETS.
>Edwin_Roth: HKNO 12L HONK +42 300
>Samuel_Kaplan: CGLNOSW O8 GLOC. +36 161
#note Phony. If PISTOL(E) or RIFLE is good, why not GLOCK*? This wasn't even held. Best play is 13K COW.
>Edwin_Roth: OV 8M VO. +7 307
>Samuel_Kaplan: AENRSUW 13L AW +26 187
#note Best play!
>Edwin_Roth: ADEIU 7H ADIEU +10 317
#note Good job taking out the MOTELS hook.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EMNRRSU 14L MENU +27 214
#note Too bad SHAR* is not good, QUERNS 14I would have been really nice! This is 4th best, MU 10J is a little better than my play.
>Edwin_Roth: IISW 6E IWIS +18 335
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEGNRRS 5C REB +18 232
#note Didn't like keeping NRRS with 3 Rs unseen. This is 6th. R(o)B keeps a little better. It was still gonna be hard to win this game.
>Edwin_Roth: EGORR 4D ROGER +23 358
>Samuel_Kaplan: GILNRST K2 RINGL.TS +68 300
#note This or TINGLERS, now it's just a matter of stopping the bleeding so that I can at least finish in the top 3 and cash.
>Edwin_Roth: EFO 3G FOE +22 380
#note Nice play again!
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEHOTU 15N EH +32 332
#note Cutting spread again. This is fine under the circumstances and according to Q.
>Edwin_Roth: AP H11 .PA +16 396
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEIOPTU 2K .OUTE +10 342
#note PROTEI #findinglarge
>Edwin_Roth: ?AIINRT J13 AI +20 416
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIP 6A PIE +9 351
#note 3B for 4 more.

Some games are just not winnable, happens to the best of us. Congrats Ed on winning the tourney! I at least managed to cut enough spread to finish 3rd and get the last cashing spot ahead of 2 others who also finished 4-3.
