>skaplan31: AFORSTY 8D FORTY +30 30
#note Rd 4 Philly virtual 11-28-2021. I was 3-0 so I did want to make a play that appeared safer given the circumstances, but FORAY does understandably sim better probably because of the S hook I have.
>jammcc: ?DEIOUZ G6 OU.sIZED +70 70
#note So if I had played FORAY instead of FORTY, he would have had a nice nonbingo of F6 ZO(R)I for 33, which doesn't appear too far back in the valuation or the sim.
>skaplan31: ACDNSTT H4 CANT. +17 47
>jammcc: EEHILOU H12 HOLE +45 115
#note So setting up SCANTY didn't defend too well against that, although many hotspots exist on the board already. It's gonna be an outrunning match it seems like.
>skaplan31: DEGISTX F8 .EX +52 99
>jammcc: ADDEIIU 4H .UDDIE +20 135
#note I really like 4F DE(C)IDUA better because it limits Column F plays, and it makes it harder to use the SCANTY hook.
>skaplan31: DGIIOST I13 GID +19 118
#note Looks fine.
>jammcc: AAAIJOS 7B AJI +23 158
#note Interesting...
>skaplan31: EEEIOST I6 OE +10 128
#note 5J if I was ahead, but not here. Sim agrees.
>jammcc: AALOPSY 3B PAYOLAS +87 245
#note But his bingo is not gonna help me get back in this one, will it?!
>skaplan31: EEISSTW M1 SWE.TIES +74 202
#note Going aggressive now. M2 if I was ahead, but not here.
>jammcc: CEHNORR B6 R.NCHERO +73 318
#note Are you serious
>skaplan31: AAGIMOT A11 MAGOT +37 239
>jammcc: BEEFINV 4A FINE +38 356
#note Looks like he hung onto the V for future blocking purposes despite the immediate equity hit.
>skaplan31: AAAIORS 5C AA +11 250
#note Can I draw a bingo please?
>jammcc: BBEMNRV C12 EBB +29 385
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: AAEIORS D11 AA +12 262
#note I guess let's not draw one just yet. Still attempting to hit a 2x2 (maybe even a longshot 3x3), so I didn't do this at 5J.
>jammcc: MNRRUVW J2 WU. +15 400
#note The sim does prefer exchanging, but I totally understand this defensive play even though he keeps crap.
>skaplan31: EEILORS 2M .E +10 272
#note Now I just can't catch a break.
>jammcc: LMNRRVV -LMNRVV +0 400
>skaplan31: EIKLORS G2 K. +6 278
#note I guess this will help me cut spread in the short term with so many bingoes I could draw, but I am expecting to collect the junk Jamie threw back in the bag.
>jammcc: INPQRTU 8M .UQ +36 436
>skaplan31: EILNORS 1A NEROLIS +81 359
#note Yay for my bingo, but I'm still kinda screwed.
>jammcc: ?IINPRT 14H ..P +11 447
#note The only bingo here, which I would not have spotted, is K4 (D)RIfTPIN. Still a nice fish.
>skaplan31: LMNRTVV 6L V.M +14 373
#note This has to be best because I did not see an effective way to block O1 (Q)uIRTNG without sticking myself with so much clunk. It does effectively block K4 (D)IRTyING and (D)RIfTING.
>jammcc: ?GIINRT K9 IGNITeR +69 516
#note Yep, knew he was gonna bingo out. I got lucky to be able to have 35 spread points because he did miss O8 (Q)uIRTING. It's not easy to go up against someone that keeps scoring on me and I keep having high probability racks that are not bingoes. Well played game by him nonetheless!
