#note Maybe BI(D)I instead? They're roughly even per Quackle.

#note Forgot about the (JERKIES)T hook here, TARN 9J all the way.

#note (JERKIES)T is awesome fishing for OVERRAN. This is fine too, or TO(N) 9J.

#note With all of the Ts out I chose this over PRONER, Quackle slightly prefers PORTER.

>Morris_Greenberg: AELNOOO 14A ONE +23 318
#note I was choosing between LOON(S) O7 and ONE, I thought this reduced variance a lot more (no R, S, ? left for hooks to EWE). Quackle prefers LOONS or LOO O7.

#note The goal here was to block some bingo lines and keep the U to be able to play off the Q if I draw it. This blocks row 14 bingos and column D bingos. The better execution here is (A)O(R)TA L11 (75.5% win for my play vs. 80.5% win per 4-ply simulation). That blocks the higher scoring bingos, and if I draw the Q, I could draw into QUALI(A). In addition, it doesn't create scenarios like the one Jason created. This play is very sloppy; I knew going into the tourney I wasn't playing sharply and this is the kind of play that is the difference between how I was playing here was well below the standard I normally hold myself to.
>Jason_Li: CEI 10D ICE +19 342
#note Really nice play by Jason!
>Morris_Greenberg: ADHOTUW 9C WO +11 379
#note This is a bad play. I saw with AEGILNT, and GELATIN/GENITAL at C4 and GALENIT(E)/LEGATIN(E)/GELATIN(E) at 15H. I figured this blocks one of the lines, and sets up QUA when I draw the Q most of the time (and allows a Q-stick when its the last player in the bag). But...it doesn't outrun the 15H bingos, and also allows for LIGNITE/T(WO). OH 14J is the play here, it blocks the higher ploint bingos, also sets up high point Q play and scores enough to outrun bingos. At least I had a lot of the right concepts in deciding my play (blocking bingos while setting up big Q plays to allow for outrunning), but this is poor execution of the concept.
>Jason_Li: Y 2N Y. +10 352
>Morris_Greenberg: AADHQTU 8A QUA +41 420
#note I am lucky to escape with the win here, the previous two turns really made the game way closer than necessary.
