#note I can play something like IN(E)PT to force him to play VEG or VAT or something. I was wary of a play like L(E)FT because I'll have to deal with that S hook at some point after next turn, and he can still play VEG for a decent score and make my life hard. FILET lets him have an easy play. FLINT is interesting, cause he probably plays V(E)g, and maybe I can block the board.

>Jackson: DEEINPT J6 PE. +16 56
#note liked keeping a bingo leave while he has the blank. I wasn't sure if the a in viva benefitted him or me more... I considered PEA because if he has a bingo ending in a vowel, he might play that at L1 and that increases my bingo chances. otherwise there probably isn't a big difference between the two, and this is one more point.
>Tony_Leah: ?EEFGIT 15G GET. +15 74
>Jackson: DEINNTX M7 NIXED +29 85
#note missing JINX, which is probably a bit better. NIXED also gives back some points with parallels, and they can set up hooks for him. my bingo % jumps up 11. interestingly, nixed still wins a sim. knowing he has a blank, JINX restricts his bingo percentage a bit, which is a plus. I think I would play jinx if I had seen it.
>Tony_Leah: ?CEERSS N2 SECuRES +74 148
#note SESTERCE is a nice word, but I prefer playing on the N column. CREASES looks fine to not swing the S
>Jackson: FLNOOTW I5 FOW. +28 113
#note at this point, I need to keep things open. FLOWN is out of the question, and I prefer FOLLOW to FLOW, cause I can open along the top, and I want to play more tiles to get an M for ISM. playing FOLLOW also allows more points at h1, but that also opens up lanes. I like the hook flow or follow set up, cause it's hard to block, but keeping the 9 row open (though not as lucrative) lets me hit with non-S tiles, and there are only 2 S's out. I hate keeping LNOT cause it's gross (bingoes slightly more than follow actually), but fowl seems like the right kind of play here.

#note big mistake, chickening out of BEGAD. keeping DNQ can let me draw QAID 4A fairly often, with AAAIIII still out (and quid/quad, with uuu out).
>Tony_Leah: AIMOR O8 MOIRA +39 338
>Jackson: GIKNNQU 4A QUIN +52 281
#note against someone worse I'd try quaking to go for a bingo. I think I need to hit a QUAK or QUAKING type play here, or maybe hope for a bingo

>Jackson: GKNNUUW 12B WU. +7 288
#note going for some miracle quaking sequence and hoping he messes up
