>TheBigEZ: ABEEGIL - +0 0
#note Rd 6 Philly virtual 6-26-2021. I'm 1st.
>skaplan31: ADLRSTV 8G TAV +12 12
#note Standings after rd 5:
>TheBigEZ: ABEEGIL I6 GI.EABLE +67 67
#note And despite not giving Ed very much to work with, he still comes back with a bingo thru a clunkier floater.
>skaplan31: DEGLRSU H13 DUG +18 30
#note Looks good. 11I BLUDGE also works to give me Column O, but ELRS is a nice enough leave while having a comparable score to BLUDGE.
>TheBigEZ: ?AINRRT 15A sTARRIN. +77 144
#note Are you serious? Well, he had a nice handful of bingoes here. A safer move here is TARRyIN(G) in the same spot, and an insane 9 which I did not know is 13D iRRI(DE)NTA.
>skaplan31: AACELRS 7A SCALARE +64 94
#note Uh...SCALARE takes an S. 16 more at A8. #visionquestionable
>TheBigEZ: ADHOUUX 14E OX +52 196
#note I defninitely like 14C HOAX better for the 12 extra points, he's not keeping well either way.
>skaplan31: CEFINOS A1 CONFES. +48 142
#note Best play. Ed most likely would have taken out the 3x3 any day over the 2x2. I didn't care for B10 CONFIT because of how well that blocks.
>TheBigEZ: ADHIPUU E4 PAU. +12 208
>skaplan31: AEINRTY J10 YA +30 172
#note Best play and will give me a nice chance to hit a 2x2 of my own next turn.
>TheBigEZ: DEHINOU A1 .......ION +45 253
#note Gotta love having a 10 letter word on the board! This is a nice extension.
>skaplan31: EEINNRT K7 INTERNE +80 252
#note Not a 2x2, but I appreciate the opportunity to get back in this one.
>TheBigEZ: DEHHIOU D3 HUH +31 284
#note B2 HUED does sim just ahead of this.
>skaplan31: EIKLOTW B2 KOEL +37 289
#note Ack, 14J KETOL is 9 more. #questionable
>TheBigEZ: ADDEIOS L11 DADO +26 310
#note I did not know 11A SODDIE, but this is easily a better play for Ed either way.
>skaplan31: EIOSTUW F4 OW +19 308
#note This is where I especially considered the spread situation. I do keep the game close while going for a bingo, which is why I chose this over B10 OUTWIT to get another lane going.
>TheBigEZ: ?EIMSWY M6 WhIMSEY +81 391
#note Considering Ed only has to beat me by 23 to win the tourney given that he has more than 200 spread points on 3rd place, I do like M10 YEWS for 42 hanging onto his blank as well as this. He can hit me nicely in 2 spots. Still another nice find knowing this is the only bingo that plays.
>skaplan31: AEISTTU 3F SITUATE +65 373
#note 11A for 15 more man!
>TheBigEZ: EMNOPVZ 2J ZEP +71 462
#note Eek
>skaplan31: DEEIJLR H1 JE. +30 403
#note At least I still have a fighting chance I guess.
>TheBigEZ: GIMNOQV J5 QI +18 480
#note I do see why Quackle really likes D7 LOVING- Column C is really the only bingo lane left on this board, and there's still 2 Is remaining in the pool such that he can still play J5 QI if I take Column B next turn.
>skaplan31: DEILORT C6 T.ILORED +70 473
#note My only hope of winning this game is to not draw a clunky 2 tile combination. Funny how I played IDOLATOR earlier then this.
>TheBigEZ: GIMNORV 12A OV.RING +24 504
#note This is a sure win for him. If he did 4L GORM, I can block both 12B VEIN/NEVI and A12 VINS with 12B FE. Then, he can only play the V for K1 VET, then I go out with H8 AB or G2 BI.
>skaplan31: BF E11 B. +8 481
#note Same spread as G6 FET, K1 FET, H8 AB, and 2G BE. Still no wins.
>TheBigEZ: M 9H M. +8 512
#note Best out play for him, and congrats to him on winning the slugfest and the tourney!
2 easy S hooks that I missed allowed him scoring opportunities, but it also allowed me TAILORED to catch up briefly before drawing BF out of the bag. Gotta love how full circle this game can go sometimes.
