>Will_Anderson: AHIJR 8D HIJRA +38 38
>Arie_Sinke: ADFGKNS E5 FAD.NGS +48 48
#note Looks correct.
>Will_Anderson: ?ALNRRU 5E .ReNULAR +70 108
>Arie_Sinke: CEKLNOR 4K LOCK +26 74
#note This looks fine, though perhaps is worth looking at critically; the S hook is unideal but any play that doesn't create a hook sacrifices a lot.
>Will_Anderson: EETWY H1 TWEE.Y +39 147
>Arie_Sinke: EEEMNRU N1 MEE.ER +28 102
#note This is the best scoring play, but the sim suggests eschewing immediate points to play EMEU 9G, a play that wasn't on my radar. I knew the leave after MEEKER wasn't so great but thought that was the price I had to pay to get a few points. Maybe I need a better approach to figuring out when to prefer rack balancing, lower scoring choices.
>Will_Anderson: ?AENOTY 10C NE.ATOrY +71 218
>Arie_Sinke: GILNNNU O1 UN +20 122
#note INN in the same spot sims a bit better, and I can understand that. I thought that GILNN might possess a certain synergy here.
>Will_Anderson: AEMX O6 EXAM +41 259
>Arie_Sinke: AEGILNN N8 LEANING +76 198
#note Looks right.
>Will_Anderson: DOU O12 DUO +16 275
>Arie_Sinke: BLQSTTZ -BLQTT +0 198
#note I think I was planning to keep STZ for ZEST, and then when that got blocked, I couldn't get the idea of keeping the Z out of my mind. Just keeping ST or LST or LS or something like that sims better.
>Will_Anderson: ACIU F2 CAU.I +19 294
>Arie_Sinke: HORRSSZ 3E H.Z.R +28 226
#note Best by far; SS leaves are very valuable on this board, so no to HAZERS.
>Will_Anderson: AOV 6J OVA +21 315
>Arie_Sinke: BEIORSS 15H RIBOSES +89 315
#note Only bingo.
>Will_Anderson: DEFL M9 FLED +33 348
>Arie_Sinke: EIPQSTV J1 QIS +32 347
#note My other option is exchanging QV, essentially putting all my hope on drawing a bingo (otherwise it's hard to overcome even this slight deficit.) Just playing QIS wins the sim.
>Will_Anderson: EOW 7I WOE +20 368
>Arie_Sinke: EIPPTTV 14E PIPET +15 362
#note This isn't great. I realized that I was in a fairly hopeless situation and thought that my best bet was hoping to draw some 15A-E play like VITTA and go out in two. Unfortunately, this basically never works, as anything I get can be blocked easily for a decent score. I saw TYPP but thought it was # so I didn't play it. I probably have a better chance of pulling it out after that, but either way it's looking really grim.
>Will_Anderson: ABIIIOT 15A BIOTA +28 396
>Arie_Sinke: DGITTV K1 ID +17 379
#note AVOID H8 is two points better on spread.
>Will_Anderson: IO 12K IO... +14 410
>Will_Anderson: (GTTV) +16 426
