>Zach_Ansell: ADENOUU 8F UNAU +8 8
>Jackson: CEEIOTX 7I XI +34 34
#note considered EXCITON for a broader game plan I like, but it came at too great a sacrifice, it sims like 10 below XI
>Zach_Ansell: ?ADEEGO G6 rE.EGADO +62 70
>Jackson: ACEEORT 12G .ECORATE +74 108
>Zach_Ansell: HIIIOSV -HIIIO +0 70
>Jackson: AAHMRSY O12 SHAY +46 154
#note I usually make plays like RAYAHS, but this tournament started doing a lot more plays like SHAY, keeping a much safer leave, plus here it pays to not open the Z bomb. sims best narrowly
>Zach_Ansell: Q J6 Q. +31 101
>Jackson: AAIIMMR 11K AMIA +24 178
#note kind of a tossup between AMI and AMIA, but Q prefers the aggressive K4 AMI, a situation where he averages 7 more but I average 14 more, just cause AIMR works so well with the T and E i'm leaving open. I think K4 ami is a fine play, and the more I fear Zach's game the more reasonable it becomes, since this lead really isn't so big at this point. However, I think even optimally I am okay with AMIA here, the top of the board has some potential to stay closed longterm, which is a threat I would like to threaten
>Zach_Ansell: AEEHKRS 10N KA +33 134
>Jackson: BFIMNRY H11 R.IFY +37 215
>Zach_Ansell: EEHNRST 11E HE.. +14 148
>Jackson: BCIMNOT 12A COMBI +33 248
#note I officially know he has RS, cause he laid down HEARKS* on the KA turn, but realistically he has more like ERST here. I preferred not doing K2 COMBI just to lower his bingo% overall, block SHEAR and not give an O to play through with a consonant heavy rack. I figured the C at 12a wasnt too bad, so as long as I can hold off one turn I will be happy to have made this play
>Zach_Ansell: BR O8 BR. +15 163
>Jackson: DILNNOT A12 .LON +18 266
#note or DOIT, but again trying to keep risk averse leaves to deal with threats he will create
