#note close call between MORON and MORRO. Maybe a slight preference to MORON in the sim

>Jackson: INNORST 5H ..N +6 140
#note wins a sim over WONT, RATION D7, WORN. only STK?? in the pool hook, and it's hard to block without those. Hits all the vowels and tons of tiles

#note he chose this over ELLIPTIC to block the WON lane - however, EPICLIKE is a sick word that scores even more, and the biggest thing is SPICILY for 98

>Jason_Li: AEGMNVW H11 .MAGE +33 278
#note The highest simming play is WAVE M12. Given more vowels than consonants in the pool, it's not so bad for increasing my average score. the J and Z hurt, though. GANEV is a bit more in between.

#note trying to keep extra consonants to counter the pool

#note The idea here was to go for one of the Os for JAG, and it's fine to leave open cause no heavy tiles in the pool hit the spot. An O draw effectively ends the game, and even if I don't hit an O i can have other decent options, JIVE or just JAG. I think FIDDLE might be slightly more sound though, the pool is so vowel heavy that that is the biggest risk of FIDDLY, but FIDDLE at least keeps the Y as a scoring buffer. I think just J(AG) is reasonable as well, as is a play like FILED to keep the extra consonant at the expense of playing one less tile towards the Os. I do not like DEFY here, I think my position is too good to risk him bingoing, especially after VOWEL and LI suggest he has at least a couple of the precious consonants. I think FIDDLE is the way to go.
