>joeboy2: AAGGORW - +0 0
#note Rd 3 Philly virtual. I'm 1st.
>skaplan31: AAEIPWY 8H AWAY +20 20
#note This was gonna be my play as I keep the most balanced leave instead of WAY, YAW, or YAWP. Both the 8H and 8F placements top the sim, I chose this placement as bingoes would be more likely to play. If AWAYS* was good and I didn't have an S, I would do this at 8F.
>joeboy2: AAGGORW K5 GRA. +16 16
#note 9G AGOG, 9G AGORA, or 9G GROW are better plays for him.
>skaplan31: ?EIIPUU -IIPUU +0 20
#note 6I EURIPI was my highest scoring play for only 12 points, but this doesn't sim too far behind, naked Us aren't that great and random draws with the U won't always turn out too well.
>joeboy2: AADGOPW 9F PAW +14 30
>skaplan31: ?EHIRTT 10B THoRITE +77 97
#note I did miss a cool bingo F7 Te(P)HRITE, but these Row 10 bingoes are better anyway. wHITTER, sHITTER, cHITTER, THIThER, and THERmIT all play at 10A for the same score. THoRITE does win the sim probably because higher scoring underlaps are harder to accomplish with the R directly above the DWS.
>joeboy2: ADEGNOU 11H DUNE +18 48
>skaplan31: CIMORRU L1 MUCRO +27 124
#note This isn't bad for scoring, but 7C CORIUM is probably a better defensive option at this score because AWED takes too many hooks. #findingmedium

Also, if CORIA and CORIUM are both good, and SCORIA is good, why can't SCORIUM* be good?
>joeboy2: AEEGORT 1K O.EGA +24 72
#note Best for him.
>skaplan31: AIIILRV D6 RAVI.LI +26 150
#note This is best as well. Highest scoring move and Row 7 will be a lot harder to use which is what I was looking for, as well as a rack cleaner.
>joeboy2: EEFORTU 12K FOU +17 89
#note That is a nice play considering he had an R.
>skaplan31: EIILNOO 8A OLI.E +24 174
#note Olive Garden theme on the last 2 turns must I ask? I did see other nice vowel dumps- N1 GOONIE, N1 GOOLIE, and C10 HELIO, but since I'm ahead, let's not give him nice lanes to help him get back in this game. I do enjoy how well this takes out easy 7s on Columns C and E.
>joeboy2: DEEIRTY 7H YE +24 113
#note Nice move again. He's doing a great job of being proactive and making lanes that I won't have an easy time addressing. He could also take the extra points with N1 GREEDY for 38, but I like this better.
>skaplan31: EIKLNOT C7 K.T. +31 205
#note Thought about doing C7 KITHE as well, but there's too many consonants left, so I can score something and more easily overcome this pool.
>joeboy2: BDEINRT 7C ..B +13 126
>skaplan31: EGILNOS 13E ELOIGNS +67 272
#note Definitely wasn't letting him back in this game so easily with this or the anagrams at L1, but M6 LIGNEOUS is 5 more. That would at least have blocked his L or R hook that he most likely kept after FOU.
>joeboy2: DEINRTU N9 INTRUDE +77 203
#note 14B UNTRIED is a nice underlap that might have paid ultimate dividends for him. This is also nice and aggressive.
>skaplan31: DEFIIOR 15I EDIFI.R +45 317
#note Yep. This, REIFIED, or DEIFIER are all basically the same play.
>joeboy2: EILMOSZ 3I ZOI. +25 228
>skaplan31: ANOSTTX M7 TAX +36 353
#note On this turn, I can restrict Joel's bingo options on Column O such that he needs to have an S to do anything. I don't care so much if he makes a move with the AZOIC hook at this score, they're not that likely to happen with only 2 unseen As, but I also set up my own S. Might as well do this when the YE hooks on Column G are still open.
>joeboy2: CEELMQS -CQ +0 228
>skaplan31: AENOSST O8 OS +16 369
#note How did I miss ASSONATE?! I've even played this one before. Gross. Well, at least I still have the advantage, but still, that's a terrible miss.
>joeboy2: ADEELMS G1 MEASLED +72 300
#note His only bingo.
>skaplan31: ?AEENST 1B TAlES.EN +77 446
#note At least I took my time this turn and found the best bingo. Shockingly, this is the only bingo that plays thru the M. 14A NEpETAS is also the only 7 that plays.
>joeboy2: CHNNPQV C1 .H +5 305
#note I'm shocked he missed his Q plays. I do see what he tried to do- block 2A JOB. I have 2 out plays and he can't stop both in 1 play, so that's why G12 QOPH is the move.
>skaplan31: BJO 4D JOB. +26 472
#note Ridiculous draw after missing a high prob bingo with ASSONATE, which shouldn't be happening. MUCRO wasn't bad, but it was too aggressive with a lead. Otherwise, I just completely outdrew him and made some nice plays. The theme with getting lots of points off my opponent's rack and vice versa shall continue.
