>DaBag: BDEFHRV - +0 0
#note Rd 3. I'm first but Woogles had Mitchell going first.
>skaplan31: EIMOQYY 8G QI +22 22
>DaBag: BDEFHRV -BDFHV +0 0
#note Not sure if Mitchell saw this, but H4 FERVID does play for 17. It's definitely worth doing that here if he did see it.
>skaplan31: AEMOVYY 7H MAY +13 35
#note I considered MY to try crippling the board for him in the short term, but the bottom can be reopened easily. I like helping myself more and setting up my O.
>DaBag: BEIIPRT 6J BIT +24 24
#note He's normally very defensive against me but I think the aggression with BI or BIT is definitely OK here. He has another option with short Row 9 underlaps if he doesn't hit a bingo next turn.
>skaplan31: EEEOTVY M3 VOTE +20 55
#note Yep
>DaBag: AAEIPRW 5I WAP +32 56
#note This is not bad, but a better move is L4 WA(T)AP. He could also do WA(T)APE at L4 too.
>skaplan31: BEEEGLY 4L B.GY +28 83
#note Maybe 4H BEG is a little better. This is the highest scoring play.
>DaBag: AADEIRZ 4H ZA +26 82
>skaplan31: AEEEILU 8J EAU +13 96
#note G8 QUELEA is a play I should have seen. This plays more into Mitchell's game than my game.
>DaBag: ADDEEIR N6 READIED +72 154
#note However, I wouldn't have stopped him either way.
>skaplan31: EEHIILS O12 ELHI +28 124
>DaBag: ADEEFSU O8 DEF +38 192
#note He could have done O7 DEAF for 41 here.
>skaplan31: EILNSSW O1 WIL. +30 154
#note 9F WILES sets up my other S nicely! #findinglarge
>DaBag: ACEKRSU G8 .UACK +21 213
#note I would not have had a spot to play my incoming bingo if Mitchell didn't make this play.
>skaplan31: EINSSTV 13C INVESTS +96 250
#note There you have it.
>DaBag: AEIRSST D7 STEARI.S +68 281
#note This is the right play, no need to be reckless with D8 RETSINAS.
>skaplan31: EFINOPX 8A FIX. +42 292
#note Yep. This is best. 11C P(R)IN(C)OX is fancy too.
>DaBag: ?ACIMOO H12 A.OM +28 309
#note No bingoes play here. This is best for him.
>skaplan31: EHNNOPU 3I HUN +23 315
#note Stay aggro man, stay aggro. This is best.
>DaBag: ?CGIOOT 12L CO.. +14 323
#note Mitchell missed 2C COGITOs for 70. I knew he was close to something after this.
>skaplan31: AEELNOP C3 POLEA. +35 350
#note Best again.
>DaBag: ??GIORT A8 .ROsTInG +83 406
#note And while this could have been an immediate death blow to my hopes of winning this game, it was far from over. Still annoying to not get a blank for 2 games in a row now. A fancy bingo that plays in the same spot is the hard to spot (F)OGfRuIT. See if you can find the only 9 that plays here. I would not have spotted it.
>skaplan31: EJNOORR D1 JEON +46 396
#note 10B Gl(A)dI(A)TOR
About this turn, this is no question the play.
>DaBag: DEEGNNR E3 DEN +17 423
#note Luckily for me, I did not see any J plays that Mitchell could hit with the pool after my draw. There were none. The star play here is B5 EDG(I)ER for 33. This play does get the job done for him, he just needs to draw an out play and outrun my J plays.
>skaplan31: LNORRTU 1D .UROR +36 432
#note I have no wins here, just gotta cut spread at this point. I'd have to give up many points to block his out play of MONGER.
>DaBag: EGNOR 15H .ONGER +10 433
#note Well played Mitchell!
>DaBag: (LNT) +6 439
