>mahomes: ALNPUYZ - +0 0
#note Rd 5. I'm first.
>skaplan31: AEEGNNU 8D GENUA +16 16
>mahomes: ALNPUYZ D8 .LAZY +36 36
#note I think GAUZY is better here.
>skaplan31: AEEIINT 11D .EATIN +30 46
#note E11 AE might be best equitywise, but that has too much risk and it too closed for my liking against him. I'd do this again.
>mahomes: AANPRUU H10 P.RANA +27 63
#note He's been surprisingly open so far. He seems to not mind keeping bad leaves.
>skaplan31: CEHIINW 10F HI. +31 77
#note Maybe WINCH against a more traditional player, but not against David.
>mahomes: ?EERTUU 12H .UE +5 68
#note And here comes something...
>skaplan31: CEINOTW E4 WINC. +20 97
#note While this was open, I think just C12 OW is good enough.
>mahomes: ?BEERTU K9 BEERnUT +70 138
#note Nice find by him.
>skaplan31: EELOORT D1 ROLE +20 117
>mahomes: BFGINOV 14J F.GIO +34 172
#note I thought he would do FOB and block nicely.
>skaplan31: DEMOPTX 15M DEX +38 155
#note Definitely not doing 7E COX against him just yet. I probably should have done 1C TROMPED which scores only 2 less and saves 7E COX should I need an emergency scoring option later on.
>mahomes: ?ABLNSV C2 BAN +24 196
#note And he ends up blocking the left side nicely because I didn't see TROMPED.
>skaplan31: DGMOOPT 7E .OMP +26 181
#note Now I pretty much have to score something and open up Row 6.
>mahomes: ?DIJLSV M11 LIV.. +18 214
>skaplan31: ADGOQST N10 QAT +36 217
#note Anyone think of the cartoon QATDOGS with this rack? F2 is 3 more, but again openness is key.
>mahomes: ?DEJOSV 12B JO. +13 227
>skaplan31: ADGHOOS 13A DOH +33 250
#note So he's clearly close to a bingo. Let's just keep scoring.
>mahomes: ?DEISVW B12 ..W +26 253
>skaplan31: AAGMOST J8 GAM +26 276
#note I have the O and S for Row 6 bingoes, hence this over J7 OGAM.
>mahomes: ?DEISVY 6H SkYDIVE +78 331
#note Are you serious...cmon
>skaplan31: AKOORST 5K OK +24 300
#note Yuck...O4 KAROO. Not the time to fish for a bingo clearly.
>mahomes: CDFINRU O5 CRUD +35 366
#note He also missed a big play but it isn't gonna cost him as much as it will cost me, in this case O3 FUNDIC.
>skaplan31: AOORRST A13 .OR +17 317
#note Even though ORATORS doesn't play, missing KAROO will pretty much cost me this one.
>mahomes: EFIINST 4I FITS +32 398
>skaplan31: AEEORST 6E .E +9 326
#note I could have fished off the O and gone for RETREATS, REASSERT, or RELATERS. But here, I also go for ATONERS with an N draw as well as RELATORS, RESTORAL, REALTORS, ROASTERS, among others. If I drew anything but the I, David doesn't bingo out.
>mahomes: EEILNST 1D .EENLIST +74 472
#note WRONG DRAW WITH THE I!!!!

I missed some things this game, with the eventual death blow being missing O4 KAROO. But it is annoying how consistently well he draws against me in these things. And this is the 2nd time in a row he had an out bingo against me, with this occasion being much more unlikely.
