#note Sim thinks row 10 is just too good and that 10F PEON/PAEON are much better than this.
>Jeff_Clark: AEEINRS F7 E.. +6 36
#note I think Jeff said he had AEEINRS this turn and the next.

>Noah: ?BIMNOO B2 NOMOI +31 129
#note Basically even with BI on the sim - BI is much more defensive and much better for bingos - I bet row 7 helps a lot.

#note Also considered DECANI and MINCED. This looks good.

#note Not totally sure about this leave, wondering if I kept the V, but I don't remember thinking of VEX. HEXANE looks like the clear play in any case.
>Jeff_Clark: AH 2M HA +19 207
#note He first put down H5 AH, then eventually played this.

>Jeff_Clark: ?AEELNR L6 ENLARgE +69 276
>Noah: EKNPTTV 9K T.V +10 352
#note Maybe this is a bad play. EKNPT can do OK next turn - it will often draw into a decent score in PERK/ENLARgER, or REVOKER, or perhaps an S. And that might be enough to outrun even a big S bingo, as the rest of this game shows. The main other options seem to me to be KEPT 12K, KNAVE 9J, and exchanging, though I could be missing something. I don't see much upside in KEPT - it just seems worse than TAV except for the extra S draw, which doesn't look like it should tip the scale all that much. KNAVE I may not have considered seriously enough, as KNAVES and JILLS score the same, though opening options for bingos along column O with the S in the 3rd-5th positions seems undesirable. PTT also doesn't look great, though the draws for the S are nice. Draws for Rs also maybe help me a bit, but seemingly not that much. As for exchanging, what would I keep? ENT? ET? I can hit the occasional bingo as a response to his, I suppose, but TAV seems like it might just be sounder. I think I still stand by my play, but maybe could be swayed toward exchanging, and I think I'm not so likely to be convinced of any other plays, assuming I didn't miss anything important.
>Jeff_Clark: FGINRSU O4 SURFING +99 375
#note Oof!
>Noah: EEKNOPT 10F ...OKE. +26 378
#note OK, chances didn't feel great here. I think I mainly considered KEg as an alternative, but didn't think of KOR? Champ is suggesting KOP I11.
>Jeff_Clark: ACLRRRS - +0 375
#note I think Jeff challenged with the justification that he "can't win", but he does appear to have one win here. Not CARRS 13I.
>Noah: EINOOPT 11H .PIN. +28 406
#note Wasn't really sure what to do here. Though still a win, this is short of optimal, because of CODER (which I missed, and he noticed later), but worked out well. Champ suggests LOPE M4 and INgOT.
