#note definitely playing through this rack, the Y really helpx the consonants

#note very defensive, which is especially nice after his x3
>Adam_Ginzberg_(A5): EILNNSV I6 NIL +19 19
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): AADGHRT 5E GARDA +18 63
#note I think I was a bit too worried about his range here. after OXY his options are limited, so pretty often NIL won't be keeping the best leave possible. with AINT specified, GARDA sims second best to GHAT, which kills the sim. I guess with that type of rack it hits the G quite well. I was too worried about the ANIL lane I guess. I was happy to not play AARGH, but that is probably okay. What he had in reality was def the lower end of his range, but it seems that with a lot of reasonable racks GHAT is the play. I am surprised that ANIL is this small of a worry, but I guess it does partially restrict the lane. #strategysmall

#note saw headmost, but I think this is worth the 13 points

#note moment of truth. all my options suck (VINA F2 is my highest static option). I thought this was good, but was of course not sure. *
>Adam_Ginzberg_(A5): AEEEFRS H1 REFE. +30 236
>Jackson_Smylie_(A2): ?DEJOOT 15I JOT. +11 301
#note I was kinda nervous on this turn, I saw big downsides with every option, and that probably prompted me to play more paranoid with this play. That being said, I was kinda happy that it looks like a huge mistake but I think it's not the worst (at least not the 37 points down Q has it as :D). spread does kinda matter though, so I should really play JO(E) and go for a bingo. JERID can get in trouble if he hits an S play then a bingo, all the other J plays can get triple tripled on. JOTA can of course go south with 2 bingoes, or even a 14J play, but at least I'm very likely to hit a bingo, and it's unlikely he would hit a 14J play and a bingo and I don't hit a bingo. I still outrun 1 bingo very consistently, after JOTA for 11 or other J plays, but I guess after other J plays I can start beating 2 bingoes. f2 JOTA or 2f JOE are probably the plays here, even though it sucks to give up the occasional triple triple. those only really lose to 2 bingoes or a triple triple, and even then the 2 bingoes are very unlikely (I'd have to not bingo). so a triple triple is probably less likely than a big 14 play + bingo after JOTA, but I don't think this is a massive error. #strategymedium or something? idk

#note still just keeping NT till the cows come home. also better spread on average to play stuff like FROW to block the bingoes (C(R)OFT is the best spread)
