>skaplan31: ?ACLRWY 8F sCRAWLY +86 86
#note Rd 6 Philly virtual 5-2-2021. Blank bingoes to start are always nice. And for what it's worth, it's the only bingo.
>mahomes: AEFILMT F2 FLAMIE.T +72 72
#note Not so nice when David gets exactly what he needed to bingo back.
>skaplan31: EEINRST K4 REEN.IST +82 168
#note But I got my comfy lead back with this baby bingo.
>mahomes: FGILPTW 2B GLIF. +24 96
#note Not sure I really care what the sim has to say here, he does have to open while behind. I'm fine with this play in part because it scores the most while it's open.
>skaplan31: KNOPTUX E4 TUX +39 207
#note I did consider POX in the same spot for 6 more immediately, but I can dump the U and go for a better 2-move score with my P next turn using Column J.
>mahomes: ACOPSTW 12E COWPATS +76 172
#note Yeesh, didn't see this one coming. Nice find!
>skaplan31: ADKNOPS J6 DA.K +31 238
#note I did not know H10 KOPPAS for 42 here. I did know KOPPIE(S) though. This and 13F KOAN colead the sim.
>mahomes: AEHINOV L1 HOVE +32 204
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: NOOPSTT 1K P.OTO +30 268
#note Best play. POTSHOT sounds like a great word for party themes.
>mahomes: AEHILNO 13H OH +22 226
#note Looks fine again to give himself another lane.
>skaplan31: AEEINST 14E ETESIAN +72 340
#note I did choose this over the 14D placement to make the corner TWSs harder to hit if he doesn't take the 15H spot. I did also see the N1 anagrams but there's no way he's getting anything that easy while I'm ahead.
>mahomes: ABEILNS 4K ..B +5 231
#note I don't exactly think fishing will work at this score, he does need to score and draw the other blank if he wants to have any shot of winning this game. I think 15D BLASE for 54 is a nice score.
>skaplan31: IINQRRV 1D QI +47 387
#note Bad leaves shouldn't matter when I can do this easy move.
>mahomes: ADEILNS 15I SNAILED +88 319
#note His best scoring play.
>skaplan31: EINORRV N10 VENIR. +34 421
#note 15A ENVIRO if I was behind, but not here.
>mahomes: AADIOUY 3L .AU +20 339
>skaplan31: EEIMORU C2 .EMUR +14 435
#note Maybe 1B MOUE or MEOU?
>mahomes: ADGIOYZ 2J ZO. +36 375
>skaplan31: EEGIOOU -EGIOU +0 435
>mahomes: ADGINRY 15A YAIRD +33 408
#note I do like his aggression here, this is what I meant by he needed to take points and hope to draw the blank instead of doing M3 ABY kinda like what he needed to do when he did REB instead of BLASE.
>skaplan31: ?BDEJOR B10 JERBO. +62 497
#note Best by far and now the game is mine.
>mahomes: AEEGGNN H2 ENGAGE. +11 419
#note Ooh 4A NA(M)E(TA)G is very sick!
>skaplan31: ?DIOU C8 IDOl +16 513
#note 13B (B)IjOU is the best play which is sneaky and not easy to see!
>mahomes: N 4E ..N. +5 424
#note At least a couple missed plays (LEMUR and IDOl) this game didn't matter nearly as much as they did last game. Finished 3-3 and 3rd of 6 with a nice spread and at least leapfrogged David because I beat him by enough points in Rd 6, but it never feels good to lose twice by less than 30.
