ZITI is clearly the best play here, but just last year i'm pretty sure i would have played ZIT, because i was too chicken. it still seems a bit scary to play ZITI, but i really don't have a choice. >Derek: AINU B3 UN.IA. +10 135 >Cesar: ALLOSVY 15H ALLOYS +53 181 >Derek: BBEIR 14E BRIBE +17 152 >Cesar: AEHKOTV 15A OVATE +31 212 >Derek: ENOT A1 TONE +20 172 >Cesar: EEHKRTW C7 H.WER +29 241 #note quackle is basically torn between this and WEKA C12. >Derek: AU A8 .AU +6 178 >Cesar: EKRTTUW C1 WET +18 259 #note sensing something was afoot, i felt like i had to block up here. quackle likes it too, but i didn't give it inferences. there probably isn't much else that makes sense. >Derek: ?EIMRRS K2 MaRRIES +76 254 >Cesar: EEKNRTU B10 KENT +37 296 #note this is my first hasty move of the game. KUNE is a lot better, and i saw it, but i have no idea why i didn't play it. i think i was just stuck on playing UKE, because i get like that sometimes. it is the typical 1600-to-1800-expert rationality! -6. KEN is also better than KENT. this move is interesting too because my other choice was J4 EEK. i really should think it through a little more. derek can't hit the B10 hotspot as well as he can hit the 6J hotspot with an easy X play, so shouldn't i play there? i'm surprised EEK sims so low. >Derek: GJ 6J J.G +27 281 >Cesar: ?AEERUX 13F EX +36 332 #note dang it, reseaux dont fit. quackle is telling me 13B TUX is the best play. i didn't really think about that. it is always nerve-wracking to open something like that for an opponent, but he can't really hit it with that pool, and i'm almost at 90% for a bingo after TUX. oh wel. (-12.5) >Derek: CMOS M3 MOCS +28 309 >Cesar: ?ADERUU 1C .AUlED +30 362 #note i know the best thing here is to block YANGS, which i saw, but once i saw i won like this, i didn't really wanna screw around. i was already 0-2 -200 something and i wasn't gonna win any money, so let's just salvage the win. E8 sURA blocks his out. (-9) >Derek: AGNSY E8 YANGS +29 338 >Derek: (RU) +4 342
