>Arie_Sinke: AELNOPU 8C APOLUNE +74 74
#note Best bingo.
>Annette_Obrestad: EIMR 7G MIRE +22 22
>Arie_Sinke: ?AIILNY 6H LAYIN +35 109
#note I missed ANILItY 6I for 68 here (one of several bingos that I will miss this game) but LAYIN is not that much worse (maybe 2 points worse equity wise, and any 3x3 opening isn't great with a 100+ point lead.) Leaving off the L to play AYIN is also an option but doesn't quite look worth it.
>Annette_Obrestad: HI 9C HI +22 44
>Arie_Sinke: ?EEGILN 5I dELEING +79 188
#note This is my highest scoring bingo by one point, but the G opening isn't optimal, so there may be some merit to 9G NEGLIgE for one less point. Then again, that play has its own liabilities (E hook, for instance)
>Annette_Obrestad: EINRSTT O5 .ITTERNS +80 124
>Arie_Sinke: ?ADHORU 4L HAO +28 216
#note I talked myself out of UpHOARD/UpHOARDS here, and didn't clue into DHOURrAS, despite wondering about exactly which spellings of DOURA are good (it's DOURA, DOURAH, and DHOURRA.)
>Annette_Obrestad: AX 9F AX +39 163
>Arie_Sinke: ?DORRTU 10D URD +21 237
#note No bingos here. This play is best by far.
>Annette_Obrestad: ALUV 12K ULVA. +16 179
>Arie_Sinke: ?GJOORT 13I JOT +20 257
#note JOGTROT is apparently a word - it plays in two locations. It looked totally unfamiliar to me. I guess I need to study again. JOT isn't even that great a non-bingo. I think setting up 14J-N when I am not able to use it hurts JOT in the sim relative to other lame looking J dumps. This is a very poor play.
>Annette_Obrestad: BBI 7A BIB +21 200
>Arie_Sinke: ?AGGORW 14G GROW +38 295
#note I have to take the points here despite the fact that I would prefer a more closed board with a 95 point lead.
>Annette_Obrestad: KST N2 ST..K +54 254
>Arie_Sinke: ?AACEGV 11I VAC +26 321
#note I ovelooked VEGA in the same spot for the same score, which looks like a slight improvement - AC? is surely better than AEG?. Note that I hold a front hook tile for HI with either play.
>Annette_Obrestad: DFIOR A4 FOR.ID +48 302
>Arie_Sinke: ?AEGIUZ 2H GAUZIE.t +69 390
#note This is the only bingo. It seems worth it, if barely.
>Annette_Obrestad: EEY 15H EYE +43 345
>Arie_Sinke: ADEIPRW 1G WAP +37 427
#note Best by far - I increase the value of the DEIR leave by creating a spot for it.
>Annette_Obrestad: DEMOSST E10 .E +4 349
>Arie_Sinke: ADDEFIR 3C FADDIER +88 515
#note I can't lose, so the only question is where to put the bingo to maximize spread (which I do by making Annette less likely to counter-bingo). Sim says my play, which scores a few extra points and takes out the more versatile spot, does a bit better on average.
>Annette_Obrestad: ENOOSTT 12B TESTOON +69 418
>Annette_Obrestad: (CEMNOQS) +40 458
