>JD: EGI 8G GIE +8 8
>Chris_Lipe: ADEGIOY 7H OY +20 20
#note pretty close between YOGI, YGO and OY. I think OY is probably best against a non-random rack.
>JD: GIW 9I WIG +24 32
>Chris_Lipe: AADEGIL 8K ADAGE +30 50
#note wasn't sure about AGILA
>JD: PV M7 P.V +15 47
>Chris_Lipe: EEIKLOT J1 TOELIKE +79 129
>JD: LMN 5I L.MN +12 59
>Chris_Lipe: BEIORTZ 1D BORTZI.E +116 245
>Chris_Lipe: BEIORTZ -- -116 129
#note I saw ROBOTIZE, but was so certain about BORTZITE* being acceptable because I had seen it recently while studying that I got greedy instead of taking a 158 point lead! the mind boggles. Given the discrepancy in win percentage (99% after BORTZITE, 97% after ROBOTIZE, 75% after losing my turn), I should be at least 92% sure this is good to try it - I felt closer to 95% and went for it.
>JD: EFIM 1H ME.IF +42 101
#note I actually don't think chris saw ROBOTIZE if I remember, he was just blocking BORTZ
>Chris_Lipe: BEIORTZ 10L BEZ +43 172
#note ugh
>JD: ?AAIINT 11G ANTIAIr +75 176
>Chris_Lipe: CIORTUV 3H OV.RCUT +32 204
>JD: ADENRST 4B STARNED +75 251
>Chris_Lipe: CDHIIJQ F2 QI. +32 236
#note I looked for a setup here for a bit - the best available is HADJI at G10 setting up a 62-point Q play. perhaps I should try it since my two turns are presumably going to be Q play-J play in some order. but he also has an S most of the time and can crush me at that spot, or just block on row 14 - but at the very least I get to drop the Q next turn for 32.
>JD: AOR 4L ORA +20 271
>Chris_Lipe: CDEHIJW O1 HIED +50 286
>Chris_Lipe: CDEHIJW -- -50 236
#note *shrugs* this probably isn't the right play even if it were acceptable, but I played it partially to prevent him from taking the phony OVERCUTE* hook for himself! I obviously had no hesitation about this being good or I would've just played INCHED, just somehow forgot about this notorious phony
>JD: OU 2M OU +13 284
>Chris_Lipe: CDEHIJW H10 I.CHED +45 281
>JD: EOSY 5C OYES +38 322
>Chris_Lipe: EJNTUWX 6B JEUX +53 334
#note I was also low on time by this point
>JD: ?ALNNOR 14G N.uRONAL +68 390
>Chris_Lipe: ADNRTTW 7A WAD +25 359
#note if I think any bingo is enough to win, I can play TAWED and max my bingo chances for next turn, but I played this to create an alternative lane to hit if I get really lucky. all I can draw is WRENTITS, but even that ups my bingo percentage by another 1%, and may be my only lane if he can block the D
>JD: ABEILRS 15B RAILBE.S +65 455
#note gg
>Chris_Lipe: FNPRTTU 14A TUFT +25 384
#note he has 39 and 33 point outs available in different spots!
>JD: EHOS A7 .HOSE +33 488
>JD: (NPR) +10 498
#note I should've really done better with this game, but a good lesson yet again in not getting greedy, and incentive to keep hitting the books...
