>Joshua_Sokol: ABDDEUZ H8 ADZED +36 36
#note I would have preferred to have played DAUBED here, but I wasn't 100% sure of its validity. I did not want to start the tournament off by phonying. I assumed it was close between DAUBED, ZEBU and ADZED. Ultimately I felt the extra points and the lack of a duplicate made ADZED a bit better.
>Joel_Sherman: AIIRSTU 9H .UI +5 5
>Joshua_Sokol: ?BEPQRU J8 P.QUE +36 72
#note This was surprisingly defensive and also lucky. I am already in great shape.

>Joshua_Sokol: ?BEGLRT L8 TREBL.nG +76 148
>Joel_Sherman: CEELOSS 14D ECLOSES +85 119
>Joshua_Sokol: AAEFGRV 15A AVER +27 175
#note This was a confusing position. How dangerous is lane 15? I thought it was pretty dangerous, so I decided to shut it down. The aggressive way to do that is D11 FAV(E), but I didn't think this was the time to fish and be agressive, so I didn't even consider FAV(E). It seems right to do something that blocks lane 15, though. My chances of bingo-ing after FAV(E) are around 1/4, which doesn't seem like a good enough number to me.
>Joel_Sherman: GLU 15L .LUG +18 137
>Joshua_Sokol: ABFFGNY 13A YAFF +32 207
#note BAFF is better. Silly.
>Joel_Sherman: IX 15G XI +42 179
>Joshua_Sokol: BEGMNOW 8L .OMB +24 231
>Joel_Sherman: JO 7M JO +38 217
>Joshua_Sokol: EEGILNW N6 W..EN +20 251
#note NEW(B) may be better in the same spot. here I started to get really baffled. WE(B) might be better cause I bingo so much more often after he plays down to the Y. I knew that Y was dangerous but I couldn't hit it, but if he hits it he gives me a bingo lane. I thought maybe LIEGE(WOMEN) could come down after this, but turns out it's phony and Joel would have challenged.
