#note Rd 4 Philly virtual 6-26-2021. Definitely wasn't sure what to do here. I did consider URINAL, URIAL, and OUR. Against someone known to be more defensive, I probably would have done URINAL, but against someone more open, OUR would have been fine too. Joel tends to vary more than others, so I felt that keeping better was the play here. Thoughts?
>joeboy2: EHNNPSS 8G HEN +12 12
#note I'm fine with this play, SHEN just isn't worth it because of the free rack info it gives me and because SHENS* isn't good.
>skaplan31: ABINORT H1 BARITON. +83 83
#note Or TABORINE in this spot.
>joeboy2: ?EINPSS J2 PeNISES +73 85
#note This same word plays at 9D for 80, and 2B SENoPI(A)S also plays for 80. This is more sound tho.
>skaplan31: AAEKOOT 2J .OOKA +22 105
#note Best by far.
>joeboy2: FGILNUW L1 W.LFING +36 121
#note This does score the most, but I do like L1 WOFUL better keeping the normally powerful GIN leave, but bingoes ending with -ING won't always play on this board. Then again, naked Us aren't that good.
>skaplan31: AEORTUY 3L .AY +29 134
#note Oh wow I did not see I3 YOU. That would have been a sweet find. This does score the most, but doesn't keep quite as well.
>joeboy2: BEMQUWX F6 MEW +25 146
>skaplan31: EEIORTU 1L .ORE +34 168
#note Looks good, most I'm scoring by far again.
>joeboy2: BEIMQUX 2F QU. +32 178
>skaplan31: DEHIITU 3B DHUTI +29 197
#note He might have kept an A, he might not have kept an A. But this is still easily the play.
>joeboy2: BEIILMX G4 XI +20 198
#note Joel did have 9A MIXIBLE for 92 here. That would have been a real game changer for him.
>skaplan31: AEILORT B2 I.OLATER +72 269
#note Well, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Joel because if he had seen 9A MIXIBLE, I would have 3x3'd with A8 AMITROLE!
>joeboy2: BEEILMY A6 BEY +45 243
#note Looks good. A6 LIMEY also works, but Joel's play does keep better.
>skaplan31: ?ADERST O3 STARrED +81 350
#note Gotta love having 2 entry level racks in a row.
>joeboy2: EIILMPS M7 IMPLIES +84 327
>skaplan31: ADEEOUZ 12I ZOEA. +28 378
#note Ack L11 ADOZE is nice! #visionlarge
>joeboy2: ADILNRV 13F DIVAN +25 352
#note Looks fine to keep more than 1 lane open.
>skaplan31: ADEEOTU C6 DATE +26 404
>joeboy2: EGJLORR A1 JO +29 381
#note D1 JOULE is 40 for him.
>skaplan31: ENOTUUV D9 VENT +20 424
#note Not sure how 10L ULU will help me outrun Joel. I pretty much gotta score something and keep vowels knowing that a lot of Joel's prospects aren't that good.
>joeboy2: AEFGLRR 11J FRA.L +28 409
#note As it turns out, Joel does have 1 win: 11K FLIR, which allows him multiple out plays and I can't do anything to get rid of my garbage.
>skaplan31: CCGOUU H13 .UG +21 445
#note This is 1 of 3 wins for me, with the other 2 being 4A COO because it blocks his clear best move of D3 URGE, and H13 VOG because it successfully outruns D3 URGE. I consider myself lucky to escape this garbage.
>joeboy2: EGR D3 .RGE +17 426
#note I expected to lose this one by convention, but I pulled this one out of a hat.
