#note Matt provided his racks this game as well, though I'll abstain from analyzing his side.

#note Already knew before I made this play that Quackle would hate it, but I stand by it. Quackle likes GIFT, presumably because of the setups I'll get occasionally and the fact that the rack doesn't crash too often, but I just don't think this is the right thing to do against someone where you're trying to duel based on word knowledge. Given that I was up against the Q maybe I'm okay with this, but I don't really know how I'm supposed to put a Q in Matt's range here.

#note I don't know here. My thought was that ALOIN creates a spot for my opponent to hit first, and creates a hook (HAE) and parallel (N_) that my opponent almost always has that I don't, while also stopping some easy scoring options. That being said, ALOIN does stop a fair number of bingos even still, and ADINO is nothing to write home about, and especially through a D floater. ADINO does do fairly well against the board opening that I expect to come, and this gives me a lot of flexibility, so I'm still okay with this play, but it might not be theoretically optimal.

#note I know they have the S, so my line does win the most often. Is it the best play given my tournament situation on top of that? I don't know.

#note I don't know. Now that I drew the blank I really need to go into "acquire spread" mode, and this just doesn't really do it. Just feels bad to leave this open?

>Kenji: ?BEFIOY 14F YOB +25 367
#note My main consideration here is that Matt is going to open a lot and I want to maximize my odds of bingoing as a response. At this point Matt's dead already so he has no reason to minimize spread, so I expect a lot of desperate openings soon. Still there's some consideration for just taking the normal equity here, and something like FIT does do substantially better in valuation. Getting rid of BEOY is doable, and YOB does allow some decent rack dumps for Matt. Can go either way here, and this probably isn't optimal but I'm again okay with it.

#note Not a very good endgame by me, as OUTA completely escapes me despite seeing the hook earlier. Just didnt think about it in the context of blocking both URUS spots. #endgamelarge
