>Jim_Burlant: ?ACIUXY 8G YUCA +18 18
#note The 2-ply sim prefers 8G XU by not quite 1 point over 8F YUCA. My feeling is that the Y isn't especially bingo prone, and the XU might be too easy for him to overlap or underlap. I figured I would unload the X next turn, and bingo on turn 3. As for this placement - I have the blank, why not play aggressively? Championship Player, on the other hand, agrees with me - CP likes this best.
>Mike_Early: AERV 7J AVER +10 10
>Jim_Burlant: ?AEIITX M2 sEXTA.II +80 98
#note The only bingo, and I like this play a lot. This is one of those words where, if I'm taking a Zyzzyva quiz and I know something's in there I'll find it. But how easy would it have been to give up on the rack after 30 seconds and just play AXITE for 24? Anyway - play incorrectly scored as 82.
>Mike_Early: ?AAENRW 9A uNAWARE +67 77
#note A bit of a miss by Mike - H8 UNAWAREs scores 83 and wins 35%, though Quackle says that even that bingo is not Mike's best play; Q thinks L1 WANE 43, keeping AR?, is best. I might be more inclined to agree with that if Mike could score 43 and keep AER? or ARS?. I think UNAWAREs H8 was Mike's best play.
>Jim_Burlant: DEINNOT 7A INTONED +70 168
#note The only bingo, and it wins 84%.
>Mike_Early: CIK D9 .ICK +26 103
>Jim_Burlant: AILLRSS 3H SALLI.RS +59 227
#note The only bingo, and I'm now winning 94%.
>Mike_Early: DEGHU O1 GU.HED +45 148
>Jim_Burlant: AIIMNOS H1 MI.O +21 248
#note Thought I might have been missing something here, but there are no 7's, and the only 8's are SIMONIAC and INSOMNIA, and they don't play. Championship player gives slight preference (not quite 2 points) to MINI 8L. I just saw the easy 21 and solid AINS leave and that was enough for me.
>Mike_Early: ABEOV L9 ABOVE +22 170
>Jim_Burlant: AEINOSY 6E OY +28 276
#note Yeah, a little dangerous, but that AEINS leave was too enticing for me. Q agrees; this is best.
>Mike_Early: FMPRU 5B FRUMP +42 212
#note Nice play by Mike. He's winning 5%, but that's about to go down fast.
>Jim_Burlant: AEINRST 13B NASTIER +80 356
#note Best bingo.
>Mike_Early: EEQU C1 QUEE. +28 240
>Jim_Burlant: ADINOTZ 11D .OZ +28 384
#note Ah well, I had to miss some time. 10G DITZ scores 43. Everything wins 99.9x% by now, but this gives up a little too much on the scoreboard. DITZ is best.
>Mike_Early: FOW H12 F.OW +42 282
>Jim_Burlant: ADINOST N5 OD +19 403
#note Best. I admit it - I was getting greedy, looking for another bingo.
>Mike_Early: BJO 6H JOB +29 311
>Jim_Burlant: DEGILT N9 LATTINS +71 474
>Mike_Early: EHR 15L RE.H +24 335
>Jim_Burlant: DEGILT 2B G.ILD +22 496
#note Or LUGED. Either one is as good as the other.
>Mike_Early: EGNP 14A PEG +19 354
>Jim_Burlant: ET 15A ET +21 517
>Jim_Burlant: (N) +2 519
