#note figured an x1 doesn't keep an O so often, and so AJEE can force his 7s to open a triple for me, which is great with blank in hand. One of the times I did this exact thing with an opening J play I got burned for it, but I think my opponent had drawn the O on the 1 tile fish. This sims really well when AEINRT is implied

#note nothing was too inspiring here. OPA, VOE not so bad... OPE and TOPO are good as well. its all close, I think OP(E) has some merit

>Smylie: ADHMOUY 5H MU.DY +24 176
#note sets up the H in two spots. AHOY is the other consideration, scores 8 more but DMU isn't great here. Still close overall, I prefer this by a bit cause i hate scoring points

#note this is phony! the stream commentators correctly predicted that I would play this. confidence is key. this was not an intentional phony

>Smylie: AEMOSTU 5D MU +16 327
#note Maybe should be MU/MEH or AMU 5C. I liked MU off PIING to prevent board exhausting plays through the I that would kill the top - after MU it's hard to kill the P as well as the 2 row, however AMI plays can sometimes hurt. However, only one A out and no guarantee he has a nice score there anyways. I liked AEOST over EOST just to hit the 2 and 11 rows a bit more, having to end in a vowel often. AMU may be the best of both worlds, preserving the P and preventing overlapping plays that can sometimes outrun my bingoes. MU/MEH is good but for the problem of those exhausting plays. A minor consideration was keeping the A for the Q, since after MU I have guaranteed QAT options. I don't regret my decision but AMU might be better

#note need NR for ESTRONE or PENTOSES

#note he didnt see the options from the P, which he should block

#note some dumbassery

#note thanks to arie for a great set - I didn't play as sharply as I would have liked, but there was a lot to learn from in these games
