>MattL: EHLOOOY 8D HOOEY +30 30
#note HOPPY Round 8.
>thisguy: AAMNSTT 9G MAT +21 21
>MattL: AAELOPT 10G OPA +20 50
#note AP(H)OLATE, and I also missed the P hook on HOOEY.
>thisguy: AENRSTW 11A WANTERS +76 97
>MattL: AAEFILT 10B FIAT +34 84
#note Probably FAT(W)A to open up, I missed it since I played FIAT pretty fast I think.
>thisguy: ADDNQRT C9 Q..DAR +52 149
>MattL: AEEILOO J5 LOOIE +13 97
#note Wow - (H)I(AT)AL is 37, which is probably enough to offset the leave of EEOO. I took a long time deciding which LOOIE to play; I liked this one better because J10 kind of forces me to draw an S, and without one the entire top of the board becomes really hard to use.
>thisguy: DGGNRTX -DGGNRT +0 149
#note It appears to be a tossup between keeping X, RT, or DR. DR actually starts to edge out the other two after a long simulation (5000 4-ply). Never would have guessed that.
>MattL: ADEISUU 5I U.U +6 103
#note I had a feeling (L)UAU was better, but it seemed close and I didn't want to waste time. I liked that I could draw a 30-40 point play next turn with the S(ULU) hook.
>thisguy: CEIINXY 4K XENIC +43 192
#note Sim thinks that A11 (W)INEY is actually about equal to 4K XENIC in win %, but ~ 4 points lower in valuation.
>MattL: ADEISSU 15A AIS +26 129
#note Ouch, (R)ADIUSES is a costly miss. 15B US never really crossed my mind either, but why not? Maybe it looks like a setup and leaves me a chance to bingo.
>thisguy: GGIIMOY 14B G.IMY +44 236
#note Ugh, AIS looks especially horrible now.
>MattL: DEOSTUW O4 .OWED +33 162
#note W(I)DEOUTS.
>thisguy: ?EGIJLO 11I JIG +32 268
>MattL: AENRSTU N7 NATURES +64 226
#note I can bingo through the I duh
>thisguy: ?AEGLOR 15F ALlEGRO +79 347
#note Of note: nO(N)GLARE
>MattL: ACDIKOR O12 DOCK +46 272
>thisguy: EFHNNTV 3L FEH +32 379
>MattL: ?AIIRUV -IUV +0 272
#note The game is essentially over, but I can still make up some spread with the R(YA) hook, so that's why I didn't play something like IVI(ED).
>thisguy: ELNNRTV 13C .LERT +18 397
#note But c'mon, he knows what's up.
>MattL: ?ADEEIR 7D ED +11 283
#note Should I try to get a bingo ending in N or something? DE(ED) is the play champ player is giving me.
>thisguy: EINNPSV C5 NIP +17 414
>MattL: ?AEIINR 4H IN +5 288
#note B3 ANI looks like a fun play, it's hard to completely block the R hook without giving me at least one more letter to bingo with.
>thisguy: ELNSTVZ 4G V.. +6 420
>MattL: ?AEIRUV H3 A. +2 290
#note Not even sure what I'm going for.
>thisguy: BELNSTZ L9 ZEST +38 458
>MattL: ?BEIRUV 13I VIEs +23 313
#note Oh right, BoUVIER, but I forgot to study it before playing this game!
>thisguy: BLN H2 B..L +10 468
>MattL: BRU B4 RUB +23 336
>MattL: (N) +2 338
