>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEIINTT -AE +0 0
#note exch TI
>Jackson: AAFLNRS H6 FLAN +14 14
#note theres an argument for fan, not throwing the extra floater out there, keeping a possibly more bingo friendly leave to respond to his bingoes better, but I like the flexibility of ARS and especially reducing his parallel options with FLAN, and its only slightly less bingo prone
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADEIINT I7 INEDITA +69 69
>Jackson: ?AORSVW J3 OVeRSAW +76 90
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?AELOUX H12 EAUX +41 110
#note I figured that with the blank in hand, I would rather bingo next turn than cash the X. But this was my golden opportunity to just play EAU. I even laid it down before adding the X. What is he going to do about it? It's perfectly unblockable. Really pissed at myself for misanalyzing this. #tacticsmedium
>Jackson: BEGGLOU 8H ...GOGUE +33 123
#note not even a word, he let it go cause it gave him a bing
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EEHKLO O1 KEELHOl. +95 205
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EEHKLO -- -95 110
#note KEELHALL, KEELHALE, KEELHAUL, KNEEHOLE, KEELHOLE*. I knew that this was very likely to be one of those one-two punches of letting a phony go because it gave me a phony. But I couldn't think of ANAGOGE, and I couldn't think of all of the KEEL words that this wasn't. Only KEELHALL. I knew there were more. I also wasn't sure of PEEKHOLE*, but then eventually remembered PEEPHOLE. I didn't know KNEEHOLE. I hated ANAGOGUE* at the start, I needed to act on that gut instinct. #knowledgesaddest
>Jackson: ABGILSZ 5I B.ZIL +30 153
#note he has KEVEL up top and responses off bezil and KOEL and knew, so none of the plays were clearly blocking much, and I liked that BEZIL can help me close ore restrict the O column and much of the right side bingo opportunities
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EEHKLO G9 KOEL +32 142
#note I still have KNEEHOLE but Jackson either missed it too or decided it wasn't worth blocking as I had already phonied. #knowledgesaddest
>Jackson: AEGOSTV 4L GAVE +26 179
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?AEHHNU I1 HUH +22 164
#note #knowledgesaddest for not challenging ANAGOGUE* earlier. This is also a tilt play. UH is fine, even though he's likely to have a D. I eat those chances up with the benefits of the UH play, and it's not like HUH doesn't give him so much back. #strategylarge
>Jackson: LNORSST O4 .NTR.SOLS +60 239
#note I gave serious consideration to SNOT here, cause his E? range (and realistically slightly better than that) can hit 3x3s. ENTRESOLS lowers his bingo% actually, but he averages over 20 more after ENTRESOLS. SNOT wins a sim handily with even just E? speciied, even in win%, so the crazy high std. deviation can't fully be used to justify playing ENTRESOLS (to say that it may actually be a win% error, not just a spread error). I think I shoulda gone with SNOT
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?AEEINR M8 .RAtINEE +68 232
#note totally missing AGREEING #findingsaddest
At least it's cool that this game has some really fun point sacrifices for both players, EAU vs. EAUX for me and SNOT vs ENTRESOLS for Jackson. I should also probably just play IN(H)ERE 1G in this spot, speaking of sacrifices. I just don't have a good shot leaving him to choose what scoring spot to use first and what letters to leave himself with for the specific board we have. HERNIAE would be better but it doesn't open anything. I should open something. #questionable
>Jackson: EIMOOPY L12 MOPY +53 292
#note I like it slightly more than PHOOEY
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIJMOTU F10 JO +52 284
#note hoping he doesn't draw a C, then I could have a chance. He clearly didn't have one last turn I think. CHOMP is 51 and keeps the versatile Y.
>Jackson: CCEIOQW 1H C.OICE +48 340
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIMRTTU N12 MET +31 315
#note somehow neither of us noticed mims! #knowledgesaddest also TU(YE)RE exists.
>Jackson: ABENQTW E11 WEB +28 368
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AIIORTU 12A OURI. +12 327
>Jackson: ADNNQST B11 Q.AD +28 396
#note keeping CHOICEST as a backup
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADIIPTY C9 YAI.D +43 370
#note DAI(R)Y scores the same you idiot. I realized after I hit the clock. Again. Reason DAIRY is better is because it allows bingos ending in E on both sides of 9C, creating a more viable comeback threat. I figured he probably had the S already given his confidence. #strategysaddest #countingsaddest
>Jackson: ADNNRST 10C .N +2 398
#note only this and S(A)N win 100%, blocking PETTIER and saving CHOICEST (and scoring enough straight up w SAN, just a less clear win to me)
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EEFIIPT 2M FIT +17 387
#note I lose, but at least I should block CHOICEST. Maybe there's a universe where I draw the A. There is no universe where I draw the S.
>Jackson: ADNRRST 15A TSAR +30 428
#note SQUAD is a better endgame
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EEIPT 14J PI... +15 402
#note T(YE)E is 4 points better #endgamesmall
