#note Arie already beat me in our series, but we played this extra game in the morning while Matt and Robin were finishing their series. I usually don''t opt for plays like this, but here it makes sense - set up the D in case he takes the ZA underlap, HIDE and ZENITH open general lanes and options for him anyway, and the E isn't the most dangerous vowel for overlapping. this wins a sim

#note actual rack - STEARATES and SEATMATES play
>Smylie: NOOORVY 15J VO.. +6 315
#note with his strong range, I got worried about tripl triples, hoping I could force him to bingo on the 2 or 3 row, which aren't nearly as dangerous. That said, the other strat of just playing MARVY or MAYOR and accepting his bingo could work - many triple triples won't score a ton as well if he has one pointers. Not convinced this is so bad of a play, but it is probably a mistake over MARVY. I could do MAROON as well, because S hooking bingoes open the triple, though it gives him more 8s options. VOTE sims below these MA- plays with quite a few ranges specified, including his actual range. If his rack is as strong as it actually was, it isn't worth trying to play any defense, cause he bingoes/scores so much on average.

#note even hitting COAX it will be hard for him to outrun. this and a few other plays seem to always win
