Game 7
Hard to like BIZ here between keeping the duplicate RRs and giving back (BIZ)E plays. Didn't even see RIZ#, I'm still too green...it's fine but I really hate playing so loose with balance early in the game. Sim has BIRD -3 vs. RIZ but I don't mind it. Maybe RIZ if I am a massive underdog.

>Yuki_Loritz: EOHNY -- -33 0
>Stefan_Kac: EIDRRSZ -R +0 14
#note Now R(I)Z is definitely the play but I still don't see it.
I thought exchanging was a worthy bluff to maybe coax a suboptimal response, or I3 HONEY which can give back big Z plays in column h. Maybe should have dropped the D too, though that dilutes the bluff a bit and per sim bingos slightly less often than my exch.

#note Did see Z(O)RIS for the same score. Sim much prefers it but I don't see how tf it's defensible to leave a huge opening for GL(A)ZE types of plays. I also want to encourage migration into the upper left so as to bring the entire board into play.
>Yuki_Loritz: UF 10F FU. +15 45
>Stefan_Kac: EIODJRS G1 JIRD +35 97
#note Hard to beat the ERS leave after 6I (E)JIDO, but that play feels like a loss of board control, whereas with JIRD I create value for my ess and continue to drift leftward. Sim says I flushed 3 here.
>Yuki_Loritz: EKN 11E KEN +21 66
>Stefan_Kac: AEOCHSV 5B HAVOCS +41 138
#note Sim prefers (in order) HOVEA, AVO, HOVEAS, VAE and VOE in row twelve. I could maybe get on board with HOVEAS for 3 more and keeping C instead of E. Maybe.

>Yuki_Loritz: Q 2F Q.. +32 126
>Stefan_Kac: AAEINST 13B TAENIAS +73 254
#note Sacrificing a coupla points to keep vowels out of column h. Maybe with opp also close to a bingo I should have gone the other way. Also underscored this by another 2.
