>Samuel_Kaplan: AIILNRT 8G LI +4 4
#note I considered exchanging IL so that the board wouldn't be as mucked up. I will often have a bingo lane regardless so why not take the 4 points. Q likes this over the exchange.
>Edwin_Roth: AGH 7F HAG +14 14
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAINRTU 6D UTA +12 16
#note Best play. This over TAU so that I have more than 1 lane for my hooks.
>Edwin_Roth: AE 5F AE +8 22
#note Fishing exhibition must I ask?
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEIJNNR D3 INJ.RE +28 44
#note Forks nicely and is best.
>Edwin_Roth: ?CENNOS 4G NEoCONS +70 92
#note Ed's best bingo was 9D SONaNCE for 81 which isn't easy to spot.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABFLNW K2 FL.W +20 64
#note Got too focused on keeping my only vowel, E8 FAWN is fine.
>Edwin_Roth: DGPY 8A GYP.D +36 128
#note GYPPED and GIPPED but not this phony.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABDINW C1 WAB +24 88
#note Did not know WINDBAg. This is best nonbingo.
>Edwin_Roth: AEGILST 9H GELATIS +65 193
#note I allow a phony and he bingoes right after that? Cmon
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?DEHINO B7 H.OIDEaN +82 170
#note I briefly considered not bingoing with 1C WHINED but I am down 2 bingoes at this point so I decided to take the points and keep the pressure on. Q agrees with my play and this is best bingo. Very happy to see this one.
>Edwin_Roth: EEIMNRT 13B .NTIMERE +72 265
#note Are you serious lol...he averages so well against me. Nice play Ed and I think this is definitely correct over N7 MI(S)ENTER, it gives back much less.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEOPRTU B2 POUR +25 195
#note I saw N9 SPOUTER, which is 5 more than my play, but this makes it such that Ed can't just start easily blocking.
>Edwin_Roth: ELQSSUV - +0 265
#note Not actual rack. Ed exchanged 5.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEKRTUV 8M KUE +29 224
#note Took the points and got Column O going. This is best.
>Edwin_Roth: AFY H12 F.AY +42 307
>Samuel_Kaplan: BEIRTVZ H1 BIZ. +45 269
#note Best play and keeps me in it.

#note Ouch

#note Maybe J4 COVE?
>Edwin_Roth: OO 12H .OO +8 353
>Samuel_Kaplan: EEOORTT 9D ROE +20 304

>Samuel_Kaplan: IOT J6 TOI. +6 350
#note M11 TIRO for 2 more.

Not the best tourney I've played. This would unfortunately be my last game of the day as I had a bye Rd 7. It was a tough ending to a day that I thought I had a little momentum going for me. Meanwhile, I have now lost 5 in a row against Ed. He's one of my good buddies, don't get me wrong, but it's time for the tides to turn a little. Lol.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (AR) +4 354
