#note I considered HAO 2J, which would net me 5 extra points right away, but I thought it made sense to hold onto the H and try to hit a bigger play there later. Sim says it's close - I'm fine with my choice.

>Jason_Keller: AEINRUZ 12H ZA.IER +50 362
>Evans_Clinchy: AEHINRV 8J .AHINE +48 379
#note Not sure why I chose this over HAZIER - in hindsight, it looks pretty clearly worse. Weird.
>Jason_Keller: DMO 3M MOD +32 394
>Evans_Clinchy: IIPPRUV 7M PUP +23 402
#note I thought I was a pretty significant underdog at this point, so this play made sense to me - it creates volatility because I might be able to win by luckboxing into JO for 56. Quackle prefers the more straightforward RURP for 28, making REVOKING. Silly Quackle, always scoring points like that.
>Jason_Keller: FRU H12 .URF +48 442
>Evans_Clinchy: GIIORUV 6J RUG +24 426
#note This made the most sense to me. I wanted to keep scoring, hold the O and dig deep into the bag to find the J. RUG does this. I don't think there's a play with a better chance than this against a human. Quackle suggests VIAL 10B, presumably to fish for a miracle bingo like FLOURING or FOUTRING, but with this horrendous pool, it'll be pretty obvious to Jason that those are the only bingos possible, so he'll just block. Meh. I think I have to pray to hit JO and that he misses it.
>Jason_Keller: GNY N6 G..NY +21 463
#note ...oh well
>Evans_Clinchy: IIJLOVY 4A JO +20 446
#note He has HILT/LITH at 11I for a lot of points, so it's best to play VEILY and block, holding the J for next turn.
>Jason_Keller: HLTTU A4 .UT +10 473
#note I figured I'd make him sweat over the 1 percent chance that JIVILY* might be a word.
>Evans_Clinchy: IILVY B6 IVY +15 461
#note I never actually saw HILT. I was low on time and spent much of my endgame thinking on trying to find a crazy game-winning J setup that didn't exist. Shrug.
