>Lois_Oda: AINRY 8H RAINY +24 24
>Jim_Burlant: AEEOPUY K5 EUP.OEA +36 36
#note Best. Nothing else sims within 10 points.
>Lois_Oda: CW I7 C.W +15 39
>Jim_Burlant: AIINOTY J10 YA +28 64
#note Not thrilled about keeping duplicated I's, but this and COPAY 7I duke it out for sim winner honors. J10 AYIN and L11 YONI finish a little further back.
>Lois_Oda: CLL 6J C.LL +12 51
>Jim_Burlant: IINOPRT 12H TIP +14 78
#note Was hoping to play POINTIER on row 5 but so much for that. Having played Lois before, I know that the board tends to shut down quickly against her and I wanted to make sure things stayed open. While this play finishes 4th in the sim, it does so at a loss of nearly 8 points to L8 YIP, the sim winner.
>Lois_Oda: AESV H11 S.AVE +24 75
>Jim_Burlant: EEINNOR M3 ENO. +8 86
#note Quackle prefers 7K PEON ...uh...no thanks. Why would I open the triple line for an S I don't have in my rack with 3 unseen?
>Lois_Oda: QT 13G Q.T +26 101
>Jim_Burlant: EIIMNRT 11A INTERIM. +70 156
#note The only playable bingo. I'm now at 68% winning chances.
>Lois_Oda: IKO 10A KOI +21 122
>Jim_Burlant: ?ILMNTZ 9C ZIT +44 200
#note Best.
>Lois_Oda: BNU 8D BUN +17 139
>Jim_Burlant: ?LMNORT 10F MO +24 224
#note Highest valuation play, this finishes second on a win percentage basis by roughly 1/2% to D11 ENORM. I'd rather keep both sides of row 15 alive for 8's, especially since I'm sitting on the blank.
>Lois_Oda: AH L3 HA +19 158
>Jim_Burlant: ?FLNORT 12A FOiL +53 277
#note If you don't know or can't find FRONTLET, do you burn the blank here? The sim says yes and this is the best choice of the non-bingo options, not even giving up 2-1/2 points to the bingo after 1200+ 2-ply iterations. I had considered L11 LOFT 17 and felt that 36 points was too much to give up to hold the blank. I also felt that increasing my lead to 119 points would put that much more pressure on her. I'm now at 96% winning chances btw.
>Lois_Oda: OW F6 WO. +14 172
>Jim_Burlant: EHIINRT L11 HI +16 293
#note Interesting sim result. This is the highest valuation play according to Quackle and it wins 98.5%. Yet it finishes 4th in win percentage to L10 THEIR, which wins 98.8. I'd make this play again in a second.
>Lois_Oda: ADRV 15E RAV.D +9 181
>Jim_Burlant: EINRRST G9 R.. +6 299
#note So much for my planned row 15 bingo. But the best is yet to come. This play sims best btw.
>Lois_Oda: DEENRTU G1 RETUNED +71 252
#note This play brings Lois back up to 7% winning chances...but it's safe to say my next rack takes them back down to 0.
>Jim_Burlant: AEINRST 1A TRAINE.S +131 430
#note It doesn't get luckier than fishing off an R from EINRRST and drawing an A. My eyes got as wide as saucers when I saw her slot the R at G1.
>Lois_Oda: F 2F F. +26 278
>Jim_Burlant: AEEGIJL E4 GIE +14 444
#note Now I'm just moving tiles to end the game; I guess I've kind of shut down now that the game is a done deal.
>Lois_Oda: BGO 14D GOB +24 302
>Jim_Burlant: AJ 4C JA. +22 466
#note At this time I've stopped writing my racks down and am only writing my plays.
>Lois_Oda: S 13G ...S +22 324
