>Joshua_Sokol: DEGHHLO H4 HOLED +26 26
#note Thought it might be close here between this, HOG and some other plays.
I should have chosen HOG, because I didn't think HOLED had any hooks, and it does.
>Ian_Weinstein: IIII -IIII +0 0
#note Think Ian said he kept the X here.
>Joshua_Sokol: ABDGHJT G5 JAB +33 59
#note not sure how I failed to consider GADJ(O) here? I conveniently remembered the phony I played against Ian this year at Nationals, since I almost had it again!
>Ian_Weinstein: EKRX 5G ..KER +32 32
>Joshua_Sokol: DGHMORT F6 GOTH +25 84
#note Thought this should be better than GORM for one less, but it probably isn't in reality, because once again T(HOLED)... It's no use to me if I don't know it, so I guess GOTH is better in this skewed context of the game.
>Ian_Weinstein: EORTX E3 OXTER +35 67
#note 8A EXTOR(T) was the play Ian was looking for
>Joshua_Sokol: DEEEIMR D1 DIME +40 124
#note wisely chose against playing REMEDIER*... I stupidly couldn't remember if REGAL was a word, since I thought I could be thinking of the Buick model. I guess that a word such as REGAL is not suitable for my likeness... (D2 EMEER for 44)
Also, EME D2 sims best, but I'm still not ready to make that sort of play. At least I determined that DIME was better than DEME here based on the ridiculous amount of I's in the pool.
>Ian_Weinstein: OQU 1A QUO. +42 109
>Joshua_Sokol: EEEILNR C3 ERE +26 150
>Ian_Weinstein: ?AMNRST L3 uNSMART +85 194
>Joshua_Sokol: ACEILNN E9 ENCINAL +73 223
#note This or M9, pick your poison. Or I8 for 9 less? Couldn't be right.
I hear Marlon defiantly disagreeing with opening the 3x3 in the background!
>Ian_Weinstein: ?AINORW 11E .ORdWAIN +74 268
#note Other placement would have granted AIRWOm(A)N for 86! Yahoo results orientation!
>Joshua_Sokol: AEINNPT B5 PINNATE +67 290
#note PINNATE would have then scored 23 more! Boo results orientation. I'm starting to sound like Joey Mallick.
>Ian_Weinstein: OUVW 8K V.OUW +33 301
#note And VROUW wouldn't have played. Aargh. This always happens to me in these games. Shoutout to Johnathan Lindh this time.
>Joshua_Sokol: BEEFLST A6 BEEF +44 334
>Ian_Weinstein: FIUZ 15A FUZI. +54 355
#note ooch
>Joshua_Sokol: EILPSTV H11 .EVIL +24 358
#note M11 SPIV is looking pretty good as well, athough its risks are obvious. This puts me in OK shape and doesn't force me to draw an S to be favored to win. But I'm not in fantastic shape here. Also put a lot of consideration into fishing, but I can win this game without that. Or so I thought.
>Ian_Weinstein: AGGY L11 .AGGY +28 383
>Joshua_Sokol: CDLPRST 15J CR.PTS +39 397
#note Whew, what a breakaway here as I was in really bad shape if he didn't give me that specific Y! Don't think Ian could have done anything else that turn besides determining my specific rack and playing something muh less desirable.
>Ian_Weinstein: AI F13 AI +10 393
#note not sure what his specific rack was, but it was terrible. He was trying to block my biggest play and gain tempo over me, but it seemed like a losing battle from both perspectives.
>Joshua_Sokol: ADLOOSY 10I OY +31 428
#note Wow, SLOOP is good! That would be my play at M11. Followed by AY over OY, which leads to better endgames, counterintuitively enough.
>Ian_Weinstein: ADEIITU A1 .UAI +14 407
>Joshua_Sokol: ADLOSS M7 L.ADS +27 455
#note uncertain of DOSAS (still). -1
>Ian_Weinstein: DEIT C9 DITE +20 427
>Ian_Weinstein: (OS) +4 431
