#note If I'm 100% that AXIAL doesn't take an S then I win the game on this turn. But I'm not.

#note Same deal with AXIAL here.

I feel that Chris' odds of having a bingo beginning with an S are significantly higher than the odds that he has one with an A as the second letter, especially after his last play, so I think I'm helping myself here by blocking this. I play JALAP next turn, kill the board, score a bunch, and end the game unless he has a bingo with the pattern ?A?????.

Even without putting in rack inferrence of S, Q says that he is more likely to bingo beginning with an S by 4.5%.

#note Ok
>Matt_Canik: AAJLPRT O11 .PLAT +30 349
#note If I pull the Z I can play ZA, and with the case A he can't.
>Chris_Cree: ?NOPRSW 11E WOP +33 348
>Matt_Canik: ACEJRSZ N14 ZA +46 395
#note And I'm sunk. He has ORPIMENT on bottom or MERINOS on top.

Should have known AXIAL didn't take an S.
