#note he said he was considering REQUOYLE+5 and ELUSORY, and never considered that I wouldn't challenge this. Truth hurts. ELUsORY sims 5 better still. Cool/stupid word tho.

#note Hm. I recognized that 1) 3/4 u's were already gone 2) no good Q spots exist before or after this play but I don't think I ever considered just dropping the Q. I don't know that Matt can really afford to make up all that equity with a specific block at 3I, but he can definitely try. I just don't even think I considered Q(I) played at 10L. This is the best chance I'll likely get to get rid of the Q without significant lucking. FILET also sims better, so this cannot be the right play, and FILER too, of course. #strategymedium

#note didn't see SUQ I think, but wasn't 100% on NYS either. Thought this had good recursive value, but SUQ is probably too good to pass up. #findingmedium

#note Saw the best play a bit too late. Sadly. Can you find it? It scores 27 points.
This pre is otherwise complicated. DETOXING can happen and win whenever. I don't want to play more than 3 tiles because 4-tile plays by him make me have to play 3 (or hopefully 2) to not empty. I chose this because I can then play HE at 6F or M3 next turn if he plays 4 and maybe hold on. #findinglarge

#note dead to DETOXING, unless I draw DEVO(U)TER F1 or E(N)ROOTED 14G or his rack is horrendous. DEPE(R)M H1 was missed, and does a ton better against DETOXING, allowing me to outrun and bingo more. This also could lose to stuff that draws into DETOXING, and that happens far more when I leave 2 in the bag rather than 1. PHEE(R)# is also an option. I also considered HEDE(R) which has to be better than HEMPS I think. Was tilted from missing HE M3 on the GAWK turn. #findingsaddest
>Matthew_O'Connor: EINOOOR 6B RE.IN +27 406
#note extreme fortune that this was his rack. This position is terrible, and he probably needs to hope for the G and keep IN.
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEETVW B3 EVE.T +8 405
#note somehow forget about EVET after finding DE(R)V and thinking it was a win by 1? That's a tie. But I kept looking and found EVE(R)T, which is obviously just a much worse version of EVET 14F. Got the job done at least. Whew.
