#note figured it would be between CNS? and CST? here. I thought CST had a slight edge, despite CNS? seeming more intuitively good for me. Quackle thinks CNS? is slightly better than CS? and CST?
I think the nuance I was missing here is that CNS? will help me score more on the triples, since way more bingos start with I, U containing CNS? than CST? for example, so even though I bingo more with CST?, I score significantly more with CNS? a good amount of the time. Still, more bingos start with O or A with CNS? vs CST?, so it's really close. #questionable

#note N2 ROMEO is honestly not bad. I considered MOIRE 9E first, then MOI, then this. I thought he might sacrifice too much if he thought I might be setting my X up. Never considered ROMEO. Quackle says ROMEO, then MOI, then this. I actually bingo slightly more after EORT, the M doesn't help for that. #questionable

#note wow. I honestly asked myself if there was *any* chance 11E ETUI had better equity than this. I figured that if it did, it would definitely have been a preferred play to this. I really had a bad feeling about this move. This and ETUI are close, Quackle slightly prefers this. #questionable

#note Michael took a very long time to play this, so I assumed he held a blank
>Josh: EEMPUVW 10A VUM +18 217
#note wow. 3J (A)MPE(RE) :O that probably makes V(I)EW C10 the best play, since it keeps AMPERE behind at the very least. #findingsmall

#note this is good, but there is actually a better bingo here! Spoiler next move.

#note this play looked very weird to me, but it was obviuosly the right play
>Michael_Fagen: AELR 12A RALE +22 284
#note Michael had a disconnected AUtOPS(I)E(D) 2B!
>Josh: ENNOPRX D4 PR..N +22 262
#note weird spot. There's really nothing good I can do with the X other than wait for a better play with it. 13C ON and this are the only two options. ON is also fine, but this looks slightly better

>Josh: EEGLNOX 13C LEX +35 297
#note fuck, 13C OGLE is a setup. It's a good one because if I hit an A or O, I'm not opening a lane on row 15 after the X bomb. This was a key miss. Just found a good play getting rid of the X and sent it. #tacticsmedium

#note Quackle gives precedence to 14A (F)UEL. I don't think so. #questionable

#note yeah so I started to get quite low on time here. The pool is extremely strong, and I thought my best chance was to bingo back. I didn't even know if that would score enough though. I don't think it does, like, at all. So this was just not a good move, since when Michael doesn't outrun with his bingo, he just blocks. I need to bite the bullet and play 15F INKED. I thought it might be giving him bingos he doesn't have, but a cursory glance shows that no, INKED doesn't give him anything new. Gotta try that. It would have won. He actually only bingos around 50% of the time. #strategySADDEST
