>Evan_Berofsky: ABDEGM 8D GAMBED +28 28
#note Excerpt from my book on strategy: "My favorite way to start off a tourney is to accept a phony with no hold because I know my opponent is better than me."
>George_Viebranz: EFGNOQT E7 Q.T +12 12
#note Second to GANOF E7

#note I didn't know BEDGOWNS. Now that I do, I will never need to know BEDGOWNS again.

>Evan_Berofsky: ?AEMRTV K5 oV.RTAME +98 215
#note If I would have played REBEGIN at 9H, he would have had to find a harder bingo to double-double. It's the only other 8 in AEEMRTV?
>George_Viebranz: EINRSUX L12 XU +36 197
#note DUH. Best. No-brainer. What is this kind of play called, the X-grenade?

#note I really regretted playing away the good stuff, but I figured I could win this one if I got to the blank first.
>Evan_Berofsky: AJT J3 TAJ +22 356
>George_Viebranz: HIILPST N2 HIP +32 372
#note Suprised I didn't find SHILPIT, as I have spent a ton of time on the 18th thousand eights LOL JK
>Evan_Berofsky: ?EINOTT 2A TOnTINE +71 427
>George_Viebranz: EILNSTU 12J S..T +23 395
#note This play was kinda dumb. ETUIS 1A is it, but I didn't see it. I was hesitant to do UTENSIL A1, and I shouldn't have been. Why would he use his S there and leave himself with an unplayable V when he could just go out for 14 points instead? Actually, maybe he would have. SI 8A would net 22 points, and I would only score a maximum of 5 with my T (TAM). Anyway, with SEXT I was figuring I could score some points and block his best out, and whatever net points I lost from the tiles left on my rack would be okay because I'm blocking his VISA N12 and he's scoring 6 less on his out. It would have backfired greatly if he played VIS N10, but he didn't.
