#note I was a bit wary of opening all the nice floaters, but I still gotta just do ZOSTER here. if it was ERST instead of ORST then we might be talking. He only bingoes 5% more after zoster? interesting #tacticsmedium

#note a rare case where I pass up a natural bingo midgame! STRAVAGE is 21 more. Q says the pool is pretty good so I average a lot after STRAVAGE, so it's a tossup between the two.

#note awesome!
>jackson: EIKLRST F2 KIRTLES +82 386
#note ugh I played this way too fast. TINKLERS is 98! KIRTLES is great for the board defensively, but I gotta take the 98 #visionlarge
>Arie: ABM J4 BAM +34 351
>jackson: AEIOSTY 1N .I +33 419
#note I think this is the way to go, I could do L1 YEAS right now, but that spends my case S which might be very useful if he bingoes immediately, or for setups down the road. I also keep M column plays. the only advantage to YEAS is that he could hit a scoring M column play next turn and then bingo, but I think QI is good cause it guarantees me a balanced rack.

>jackson: AEFOSTY 11I YEA +27 446
#note FOYER is not terrible to block the highest scoring lane, but I think I'm not quiiiite up by enough to do that, since I'll still be down a solid tempo after a bingo elsewhere on the board, and there are still marginal high scoring lanes like the 11 row. this sims best but I'm not in love with it, the F isn't good here. FIESTA is also interesting, it outruns a lot of things but also keeping the S can be very powerful later in the game.
>Arie: ?AIORRW A1 ARROWIn. +86 477
>jackson: AEFOSTX L8 F.ESTA +42 488
#note I didn't actually see fiesta last turn so I was glad to see it now. this doesn't give up any new bingoes (blocks lenited but gives back lineated), and loses with the D, I, and U draws. with the D and I draws, he can play TEND or TINE making YEAST and save E3 LEU to win. nothing else seems to win as much
