>Jason_Ubeika: EIINOZ 8H IONIZE +50 50
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ADEFJMN 7I JAM +43 43
>Jason_Ubeika: LPY G7 PLY +31 81
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: DEFGLNR M3 FLEDG. +26 69
#note It's a lot of points to give up over DEF, but GLNR on a closed board felt like it was going nowhere. Not sure though. This does sim best, but basically tied with a play I missed, FLEMING.
>Jason_Ubeika: EQTU 9E QU.TE +31 112
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ?AHINRT 5F HeRNIAT. +70 139
#note I immediately discarded bingos hooking LIONIZER with SSSS? unseen, but HAIRNET is enough to make the gamble worth it. I definitely tunneled here. Also INTHRALL is better...
>Jason_Ubeika: EILV H1 VILE. +27 139
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EFGMORW 6B FORGE +26 165
#note Various plays in this spot sim close. WEM is 1-2 pts ahead of this. FROM looks good too.
>Jason_Ubeika: HOTU E9 .UOTH +34 173
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EIMSSVW 10I SWIVE +30 195
>Jason_Ubeika: AAENP 14B PAEAN +36 209

>Jason_Ubeika: AEOR 15F AERO +14 223
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: CDEGNST N10 DENTS +37 290
#note The S is precious with LIONIZERS looking to be a huge part of this game. But the allure of DENTS won me over. I can score enough to force him to bingo while also knocking out the best 7 lane. I'm not sure though. I really regretted losing the S and did not see another one. Do I do DUG here? N10 DEG?
>Jason_Ubeika: ?ADEINT 1H .ANITiED +86 309
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ACGKORU 12K CRU.K +32 322
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AABDGOR (challenge) +5 327
#note GUNK is better. I should retain the R in case I need LIONIZER. And the C could be handy at the CHE spot. Maybe i was triggered that the pokemon bingo was not valid. The +5 helps this surge ahead though.
>Jason_Ubeika: BOR C11 BOR.. +28 337
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AABDGOR D10 GOA +22 349
#note I was very happy to see the last R come down in BORAX to eliminate LIONIZER setups. Then I spent forever on this turn trying to come up with something good. I failed to come up with BODRAG, which I think is what I wanted to play. I was looking for a play that interfered with bingos and turned over 4-5. I settled on scoring OK, unloading my most awkward tiles, and blocking some YOW type plays. BODRAG is a good 4% better win%
>Jason_Ubeika: AEISSUW N5 SAUS +42 379
>Jason_Ubeika: AEISSUW -- -42 337
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABDLORY 3C BROAD.Y +38 387
#note I figured if he didnt have a bingo last turn, I can empty the bag and take my chances up 50 in the endgame.
