#note I catch a huge break and can dump two tiles on the triple

>Matthew_O'Connor: AILOOPR E12 LIRA +14 273
#note This rack completely stumps me... I considered a lot of options. I really wanted to keep the P because the board is fairly closed and I'm probably not going to win unless I can draw one of the last two esses in the bag and play SAP, which immediately would equalize the game. I also didn't want to open too much for Trevor, whose range includes mostly bingo racks but he could easily have drawn the Z or play something like CITOLA, ending the game quickly and taking a bigger lead. LIRA also turns over four tiles, giving me a pretty good chance at the esses. A play like OORALI turns over more tiles but gives Trevor multiple easy lanes for scoring/bingoing, especially given his recent string of fishes.

#note CP likes this play, but I'm not so sure. A play like WATER for him immediately finishes me off, unless I draw SAP plus a Z play or something. Also, this sets up a small but significant number of bingos for Trevor.
>Trevor_Sealy: AELNRST 4A LATER +31 352
#note Very lucky Trevor doesn't have WATER here. Actual rack here, I like this play although TZAR might be better
>Matthew_O'Connor: ADEIOPU 14H .OP +16 350
#note AZURE is the only winning play, which I missed. Instead, I tried to force him to mess up. He also had 3 tiles set aside on his rack that he looked ready to play, so I was pretty sure WEN was coming down
>Trevor_Sealy: ENSSW 5G WEN +13 365
>Matthew_O'Connor: ADEIU A1 DUE. +15 365
#note I can still play AZURE and win, which I missed (I was very low on time). Instead, I play this very quickly, hoping that he misses SUS. IZAR is an inferior play in this regard, since it sets up another outplay and increases Trevor's chances of finding something
>Trevor_Sealy: SS J6 .....S +16 381
#note Phew
>Matthew_O'Connor: AI 14B I.A. +26 391
#note Overall I think I did pretty well this game. JUVIES was definitely a mistake as was challenging CHANGEUPS, and I could have seen AZURE, but I think otherwise I did pretty well
>Matthew_O'Connor: (S) +2 393
