>Matt: AARY K8 RAYA +25 45
>Mack: AELQTTU 14F QU.LEA +37 117
#note TEQUILA unloads a T, but scores 5 less and gives back a big 2*2 lane while leaving the D on row 15 open - this has to be better.
>Matt: AGILNRS 15H .ARLINGS +89 134
>Mack: ?IOPTTT 13K PITOT +19 136
#note Wow. I didn't know HOVERPOrT. It's not a big mistake, but it looks worth it especially since it takes out HOVER hooks. #knowledgesmall #nineslarge

#note I liked this to save 11C AXED and 12L XED for next turn then the Z the turn after, but Quackle prefers 11B WAXED. I guess 11 points is a lot to give up and I'm really handcuffing myself with the power tiles by essentially guaranteeing I won't bingo for at least 3 turns. #strategysmall
>Matt: AEIKMNT J1 KETAMIN. +68 305
>Mack: DEETWXZ 1H ZE. +48 294
#note This definitely looks better than WAXED now in order to take out the row 1 hotspot.
>Matt: FINU E9 FUN.I +18 323
>Mack: DEFGTWX 12L XED +45 339
>Matt: EHIORSU 3F SHOU.IER +82 405
>Mack: EFGTUWY 4L WEFT +34 373
#note My bingoing prospects look pretty bleak, so I'm hoping to distract Matt, have him block the T for a small score, then bomb the Y at B6 and outrun him.
>Matt: JMOO 2L MOJO +37 442
>Mack: GLNPSUY B4 PLY +29 402
#note I pretty quickly realized that B2 GULPY never outruns so I needed to try to bingo or get a nonbingo 3*3 through the O and T. PLY seemed pretty good, hitting a good amount of stuff through the I (SECURING, COURSING, GROUSING, SEIGNEUR, SEGUEING, etc). I guess the problem is it doesn't hit much with the C or T, and with 1 in the bag Matt is likely to deduce that blocking the I is optimal. I missed GYP, which apprently wins significantly more according to champ. This makes sense, as it hits a bit more through the C (CONVULSE, COUNCILS, SCUNGILE) and the T (TURNSOLE, TOLUENES) as well as stuff through the I so is more likely to induce Matt to block the wrong lane. So right idea, wrong execution - I was right to fish off 3 tiles in this spot but tunneled a bit too much on keeping -ING possibilities. #preendgamemedium
