>hellacia: AADDGIN 8H ADDING +20 20
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 9-5-2021. I like GADDI better if she's gonna play longer with all the hooks that this takes.
>skaplan31: ADEHIST L6 HA.DIEST +74 74
#note Yep
>hellacia: AAEIMTZ J3 AMAZE. +38 58
>skaplan31: IORRSUY K11 YOUR +28 102
#note Also best by far.
>hellacia: ?EGIMOT 15F EMOTInG +90 148
#note Gotta love high scoring counterplays off a random draw! EGOTIsM in the same spot is 3 more for her tho.
>skaplan31: CIILRRS M2 CIRRI +19 121
#note Now that I'm the passenger and not the driver, I didn't see any purpose to playing this at G6 or G5 if I'm not gonna score much either way.
>hellacia: ABEFHOV 14F FOH +39 187
#note Even though this does score 10 less than 14B OBEAH, I'm not gonna call this one a mistake- it is much more defensive and FV is just atrocious. I'm fine with this one.
>skaplan31: ACEILNS 9C SANICLE +70 191
>hellacia: ABEILOV 8A VIOLA +34 221
#note Another nice, sound play.
>skaplan31: ?EKLSSU F3 LEUKoS.S +82 273
#note I was gonna do E4 SpELU(N)KS for 94 until VIOLA came down. This is the only bingo I found that played, with the other one being 4D SKElLU(M)S which I did not know. I also saw 2 of 3 7s in this rack: SUcKLES and SULKErS. SULKiES is the other.
>hellacia: ABBELNU K3 BUB +30 251
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: EGPUVXY 10B VEX +34 307
#note 10H PYX is 9 more which I did miss, but I wouldn't have done 10H PYX here as I do block all bingoes that start with the V at A8. I don't think anything will end with the V with this pool, not even HALIEROV with both Hs seen at this point.
>hellacia: ADEEILN E2 DEAN +18 269
#note E8 ANE is sneaky and gives her a nice chance to bingo next turn!
>skaplan31: AGNPTUY G5 GAY +29 336
>hellacia: EILNOOR D1 LIEN +22 291
#note D6 RE(LAX)IN would have given her a nice lane to work with here.
>skaplan31: AENOPTU E8 ..ENT +25 361
#note 13G PO is also reasonable to do, although there were 3 more Ts left in the pool, and this pool is starting to get ugly really fast.
>hellacia: EOOORTW 1A WOO. +21 312
#note I2 OWE looks nice and aggressive here, even if I might block that a lot of the time.
>skaplan31: AEIJOPU B6 PO. +11 372
#note Admittedly, I was nervous about the Q, which is why I passed up I1 PUJA as the Q only would have played at B7 until my move. PUJA would have been fine as Robin can't do much with this pool. #strategyquestionable
>hellacia: ENOQRTT I3 NET +20 332
>skaplan31: AEEIJRU 13J J..E +22 394
#note This time, I did see 12A JURAT, but that gives me no protection should I draw the Q. All I would have is C5 QI which after emptying the bag, Robin can easily block with C5 WO, C5 TO, or any A4 or A5 play. Or better yet, C7 POSE or ROSE also does it.
>hellacia: FOPQRTW C1 .FT +27 359
#note Yea, she has to do this.
>skaplan31: AEIRRTU 12B RUT.IER +16 410
#note I don't care if she gets rid of her P and/or W, but I'm definitely not letting her free up the Q.
>hellacia: OPQRW 11G POW +14 373
>skaplan31: A B10 .A. +6 416
#note Or 11K YEA.

LEUKOSIS was the move that put me in a nice position to win this one, but PUJA probably could have been played either way as Robin would have had to give up a lot of points to block the Q spot. She would have had to hope I can't get rid of the Q should I draw it. At least I played it safe, but maybe too safe.
>skaplan31: (QR) +22 438
