>Rob_Goetz: ABFF 8G BAFF +24 24
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AENPST K5 PEASaNT +95 95
#note This is the only 2x2 that exists. Best play!
>Rob_Goetz: AHT J6 HA.T +34 58
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEIMSTV L4 VIM +28 123
#note Yep
>Rob_Goetz: IQ 9F QI +17 75
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEEOSTX M6 EX +26 149
#note 9 less than 12K SEXTO but much safer and keeps much better.
>Rob_Goetz: AAG L11 AGA +10 85
#note Understandably Rob has to be aggressive here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEEOOST M12 OE +11 160
#note TOEA M11 partially blocks the AGA back hooks and sets up my S nicely. This isn't too much worse. 2nd best.
>Rob_Goetz: DNOPS N2 PONDS +32 117
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEIOSTT O1 TOEA +24 184
#note IOTA 10F is best. I saw 10E AIT but that's not the kind of move I want to make when I'm ahead. My play is 4th.
>Rob_Goetz: AJR M1 RAJ +45 162
#note And that's why IOTA 10F was better.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DDGISTY 10E GIDDY +32 216
#note At least I got myself out of this mess. Clearly best.
>Rob_Goetz: DITU I3 DUIT +18 180
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EISSTU 14F TIsSUES +65 281
#note Interesting that Q likes 11B ETUIS over any bingoes. I looked for a while into the R in RAJ and didn't see anything, I was correct there. I also didn't see anything that has SS on Row 14 underneath AGA and OE. I definitely wasn't gonna play ETUIS 11B when I can take out the bottom part of the board, and the B10 hotstpot was also a concern. With respect to which bingo to play, I considered jESUITS for 2 less for defense, but Rob is eventually gonna play into the R in RAJ. So I figured I'd just take the points.
>Rob_Goetz: EEGNUUW H1 WEEN +30 210
#note I have Rob's full rack for this one. Nothing stands out here with respect to score or leave so I like this play, he does have to score to hopefully stay within 1 bingo range.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AELLMNO 15D LLANO +25 306
#note This is best, definitely the time to play off the Ls with 2 more unseen.
>Rob_Goetz: BKOO 11B KOBO +26 236
#note Nice play here
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEELMRY 12C MERL +28 334
#note MERELY in the same spot #findingmedium
>Rob_Goetz: CNRUU 3C UNCUR.. +22 258
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEIIIY -EIIIY +0 334
#note D1 YINCE is best for 28. Exchanging is also reasonable to hopefully make Rob deal with the Is in the end.
>Rob_Goetz: EZ D11 ..ZE. +16 274
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEHITVW D1 WE.CH +34 368
#note WINCH in the same spot is slightly better. Right idea locationwise.
>Rob_Goetz: GLOR 1A GRO.L +27 301
>Samuel_Kaplan: EIIIITV 5D .IVE +20 388
#note And I got the Is back lol. This is best.
>Rob_Goetz: AENORRY 13B RA.E +41 342
#note This is Rob's best play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: IIIT M6 ..IT +12 400
#note At least I got the endgame right despite all the Is that I picked.
>Rob_Goetz: NORY A1 .YRON +10 352
#note Rob could have cut spread (not that spread matters in this club) by playing 10A YON for 22 knowing I can't go out. He did play considerably well, I can understand why the WEEN play was a tricky position because he did keep the gross GUU leave.

My only major mistakes were TOEA and MERL, other than that, this was well played.
