>hellacia: ?IILOOT 8H OLIO +8 8
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 4-4-2021. Robin's only bingo was OOLITIc which is not easy to find. This is best nonbingo.
>skaplan31: ALPRRUW K6 PR.WAR +22 22
#note Pretty crummy rack. I did see the POLIO hook, but I did not know G3 LARRUP. The moves that I considered before seeing this were 9K WAUR, 7K WAUR, G5 WRAP, and K4 PARLOUR. PARLOUR seemed OK for turnover, but it just didn't seem worth it to make the game a race to the S. WAUR is nice and open and makes for a quieter board, but ultimately, PROWAR scores the most, and I went with this.
>hellacia: ?ABIOTY J10 YOB +31 39
#note Her only bingo here was 11E OBITuA(R)Y for 74. Probably a little easier to spot than OOLITIc, but not exactly a low level one either. This is actually not a bad time to miss a bingo, her win % doesn't go up by that much with this as opposed to the bingo.
>skaplan31: CDEELRU 9B ULCERED +65 87
#note Not doing the 7B placement with the X unseen.
>hellacia: ?AIQRRT E3 QuARTI.R +82 121
#note This same bingo plays at B8 for 4 more.
>skaplan31: AEIKNRS 6B SNA.KIER +74 161
#note Yep
>hellacia: ?AEIOSU 3C SE.UOIAs +86 207
#note Her only bingo again. Nice find. Gotta love having 2 blank bingoes in a row being thrown at me.
>skaplan31: BDGILNP B9 .PBIND +34 195
#note H1 BLIP is only 1 less but keeps much better. 4D D(u)PING is sick vision and keeps a comparably good BL leave, but DGIN is just much better than GL as a leave. #findingquestionable
>hellacia: ADEISVY 11B .AYS +52 259
#note Oh gosh lol
>skaplan31: AEEEGLU 2I LEAGUE +23 218
#note Debated this spot and at L1. L1 might open a bingo lane immediately with Column M and a 3x3, but if I can open up 2 nice lanes in 1 play, that's the move. Didn't need to get super desperate at this score. Q agrees.
>hellacia: DEIIMVX D2 V.X +42 301
#note She's got everything going her way right now and playing nicely.
>skaplan31: CEEHINU L11 CHINE +27 245
#note Bad miss of A12 HUIC #YUCK
>hellacia: DEFGIIM 15H FIDG. +30 331
#note Good thing I kept Robin on her toes I guess, but still, don't miss 50+ pt plays like that.
>skaplan31: AEFOSUZ 1G ZOA +39 284
#note Kinda needed to keep the E here to give myself a better chance of bingoing. Obvious place to play in this spot tho.
>hellacia: AEIJMTW 1M MAW +30 361
#note Nice block
>skaplan31: AEFISTU M12 IF +25 309
#note Column M bingoes ending with S aren't gonna be enough to get me back in this one. This won't always be easy to block without giving back Column O. Best play.
>hellacia: EEIJNTT N10 JET +32 393
#note Looks fine.
>skaplan31: AEHNSTU A12 HAEN +47 356
#note There we go, found it this time. Fishing won't work at this score.
>hellacia: EEILNTT C11 .TE +18 411
#note C9 (L)E(A)NT is a #visionsolid play here.
>skaplan31: MNOSTTU O6 MUTTONS +99 455
#note I'm shocked. I was roughly 8% to win last turn when I did HAEN.
>hellacia: EGILNTV M1 ..LING +18 429
>skaplan31: DEOO 14F ODE +11 466
>hellacia: ETV B4 VE.T +7 436
#note The game was well battled in the beginning then I got lucky to get away with not seeing HUIC in the spot where I eventually saw HAEN. Robin played very well for the most part, 2nd time this tourney I got lucky with late bingoes.
>hellacia: (O) +2 438
