>Marty_Gabriel: IINOSSV 8D VISIONS +78 78
>Arie_Sinke: EEGGORW D8 .OWER +22 22
#note This play is not very good. EGG 7F is probably the way to go. I talked myself out of that. I also convinced myself that WIGGER was phoney.
>Marty_Gabriel: BIM 7E MIB +23 101
>Arie_Sinke: AACEGGP 6D GAG +22 44
#note This is good because it sets up PACE for 40 at a minimum.
>Marty_Gabriel: EPR 8A PRE....... +45 146
>Arie_Sinke: ACEENPV 5C PACE +40 84
#note Apparently CEP 5E is really good here, probably because it sets up CEPE. I would get stuff like NAIVE a lot. Relatively small error.
>Marty_Gabriel: FO 4C OF +28 174
>Arie_Sinke: ?ADEJNV 10B JA.ED +36 120
#note It looks like it pays to hang on to a few better tiles with JAW here. I take a 20% hit in immediate bingo chances by playing JAWED instead of JAW. Even RAJ/JAR sims a bit higher than JAWED. I guess you could make a case that I'm behind by a lot and I need to score enough to be within range once I bingo.
>Marty_Gabriel: X 11D .X +36 210
>Arie_Sinke: ?BENUVZ G7 ..Z +24 144
#note This play is actually really weak. I reasoned that I would bingo often enough with SUBVENE and its inflections for this one-tile fish to be worth it, but that only happens about 20% of the time, and the rest of the time I have a bad rack and no options. I should probably just play NUB 3A here for 24.
>Marty_Gabriel: AD B5 AD +16 226
>Arie_Sinke: ?BENUUV -BUUV +0 144
#note I went from a one tile fish to exchanging four in one turn. Odd turn of events which suggests that at least one of the two plays was suboptimal. In fact, they are both suboptimal and I should still be playing NUB here, a play to which I seem to have an odd aversion. Somehow I still manage to win this game. I'm on tilt here. Generally when I exchange in lieu of a 24 point play it's because I'm on tilt.
>Marty_Gabriel: INNS B10 .INNS +24 250
>Arie_Sinke: ?AELMNT 4F AiLMENT +74 218
#note Best bingo.
>Marty_Gabriel: AIOT 5H IOTA +20 270
>Arie_Sinke: ADHIOOT 6H DOH +38 256
#note It may or may not be worth it to give up 6 points and hang on to the D with OH instead. The two plays sim close. My play is probably still slightly better. If I'm going to outrun without bingoing I need all the points I can get.
>Marty_Gabriel: AER A13 EAR +13 283
>Arie_Sinke: ABILOTT 3J BAIT +26 282
#note This looks best.
>Marty_Gabriel: AR H8 .AR +14 297
>Arie_Sinke: EKLNOTU 3A LEK +32 314
#note Several options here. OK in the same spot does well in the sim. I don't mind playing my E with 5 unseen here. LEK sets up plays on the triple but so does OK if Marty has a W or Y. Not sure what's best here.
>Marty_Gabriel: ERY A1 RE.Y +33 330
>Arie_Sinke: EENOTUU 1A .OUE +5 319
#note None of my options are that great. Quackle thinks I should play RUNOUT 10H for 8 instead. I liked keeping a U for the Q. No clue what to do here.
>Marty_Gabriel: CEGHSUW E10 ..EC +15 345
>Arie_Sinke: EFINQTU J8 .UQ +32 351
#note Best by far. This wins a sim by a huge margin over FIQUE 2D.
>Marty_Gabriel: GILNOV 2D LOVING +20 365
>Arie_Sinke: DEFINTT C7 F.T. +15 366
#note This is probably the wrong idea. I tried to fish in the hopes that if Marty bingoed with the blank I would be able to bingo out. I probably do slightly better snagging all the points I can get with something like TINED K9 and trying to draw the blank and outrun. Or so says the sim - no idea what to do here. My play honestly might be okay.
>Marty_Gabriel: EHORSTU 1G HO +26 391
>Arie_Sinke: DEILNTT K9 TITLED +27 393
#note Quackle wants me to fish but if I draw something Marty will probably be able to block effectively. Maybe I should fish off the L with FETAL and hope for the blank or the S for STINTED in two places. I should only win about 10-15% of the time with this play; usuall Marty will be able to score enough to win in the endgame. I just got really lucky here.
>Marty_Gabriel: IRSUUWY 2L WIRY +28 419
>Arie_Sinke: ?EN 1M NEb +23 416
#note I got so lucky here. I would lose if he had played USURY N2 or SWIRLY 12G.
>Arie_Sinke: (USU) +6 422
