#note Really fucked up this play, and tanked a lot of time to make a bad play. Considered LOTTO, TOLYL, and not a lot else that was decent. I missed PLOTTY, TOLT, POLYOL, TROLLOP. I wanted to of course not give easy overlaps in general, but especially here, and yet decided to do that. i think TOLYL was very worth playing over this, and (T)OLT is probably as good or better. PLOTTY is also fine. Any of those three are worth playing, and everything else basically sucks

#note burned for my dumb ass play

#note TOUTONS, which I missed, is about as good as this play. I think I would play that even though OUD might be optimal, but it's close. I was cursing myself at this point for getting myself in this situation. This was one of the peak tilts of the tournament, since I was already frustrated from the game with Joey the round before. Thankfully it didn't cost me dearly, but this is something I would like to work on in the future.

#note damn, missed 9a RECITALS. that's worth playing

#note Bag is running short on vowels, so I liked playing BAKED here. the other option is BERAKED, which I considered. It makes a better lane on the 2 row, and basically goes harder on outrunning. I think it's quite possibly better, especially with the 2, C, and O marginal lanes, which encourages me to try harder to outrun. I think BAKED is probably a small error, but I'm not certain

>Mike_Baker: BF E11 F.B +30 247
>Jackson: AEHINRW I8 HEW +30 279
#note hated this position, not being up by enough to do any proactive defensive or outrunning plans, just sorta waiting. Makes BERAKED look better now, which at least has a clearer plan

#note When I made this play, I didn't see all the bingoes I could hit, just ARANCINI. This play is made better by hitting UNCARING and NIRVANIC as well, for a 25% hit rate (minus the blocks, ofc). I liked this play in general just to keep vowels and a balanced rack, hoping to do something more proactive next turn. I think most ofthe really open plays this turn are premature

#note I saw to it that Mike eat arancini later that night
