#note This sets up three separate lanes for me, I think it's smart.

#note Carl's the kind of player who can really only score if you hand him the points on a platter. Knowing that, I want to kill this board, I am confident in my ability to beat him on a closed board. A(LEX)IA is cooler, but sims about 1% lower.
>Carl_Davis: GUY 2F GUY +18 179
>Matt_Canik: AABDEJR M1 J.B +24 205
#note What's better, JIB or JAB? they're both 24.
>Carl_Davis: EHN N7 HEN +13 192
>Matt_Canik: AADEIRR H10 AIR +18 223
>Carl_Davis: EKL M9 ELK +11 203
#note No place to score easily? no points.
>Matt_Canik: ADEGORR 6I GO..R +8 231
#note On a board like this, he won't really be scoring more than like 10ppt. What I'm doing is holding my slim lead while preparing my rack to hit him with a bingo as soon as he opens it.
>Carl_Davis: OP N2 .OP +16 219
>Matt_Canik: ADEIRSW 7K .W +14 245
>Carl_Davis: DENR F9 NERD +9 228
>Matt_Canik: ADEIRRS E10 RAID +19 264
#note Enh. No bingo.
>Carl_Davis: BCDDEIO I4 CI. +6 234
>Matt_Canik: EENORSY D11 OYER +34 298
#note Immediately after I made the play, I know it shoulda been YO/YID/OD (or YE). OYER sets up the soar spot and the s hook, I shouldn't open stuff up.
>Carl_Davis: IV 13B VI.. +16 250
#note I guess he's got another I.

>Matt_Canik: AEMNSUV 15A VAUS +33 331
#note This blocks the spot though.
>Carl_Davis: DDEGINS 11M .EG +8 258
>Matt_Canik: ADEIMNS C5 MEDIANS +67 398
#note What bingo am I supposed to play here? What's most defensice, given the pool?
>Carl_Davis: EEINOSS D2 EOSINES +78 336
#note Clearly, not this one!
Another well-played game by me, kept solid control of the board and stopped him from doing anything productive most of the game. I probably should have played MAIDENS, but that sets up a potential 5-overlap in a consonant-heavy pool. Idk. I still won, that's most important.
