>rafi_stern: ELLNSXZ 8G LEZ +24 24
#note Round 18 of Nationals in Orlando. LEZ 8H is better because I could cash in with a huge X play if Steve overlaps the Z.

#note OKE in the same spot is a bit better.

>steve_glass: ?EEINNR N2 INtERNE +68 291
#note INNERvE is more defensive, and as it turned out, wouldn't have given me a bingo.

#note Blocking my bingo.

>rafi_stern: DEEINTU 8A DU.E +18 312
#note I also had EIDE on column K for 31, but Steve will probably play through the R, and I'll still be down 25-35 with a bad leave. The EINT leave gives me a good chance of bingoing, and Steve will have to sacrifice points if he wants to block.
>steve_glass: NT K3 T.N +22 346
#note Steve left 5 consonants if I remember correctly.
>rafi_stern: EGINOTU 6C .UG +7 319
#note probably should have played GUV, but I couldn't bear to close the bingo lane. GUV sets up some nice ING plays, and still gives me chances to bingo (DOPAMINE, DEVOTING, DEMONIST...) but Steve can still easily block with play hooking MOO.
>steve_glass: GPUY A6 PU.GY +12 358
#note Leaving CMV I think...
>rafi_stern: EIINOOT M6 OI +8 327
#note OI apparently sucks, and quackle prefers many other options. I can't bingo so I probably have to stick Steve with some high point consonants in order to win. Quackle prefers OOT M6.
