>Sal: AEIRTW 8D WAITER +26 26
>Will: ?AAEPSZ J6 ZAS +42 42
#note Considered ZAP/AWAITER, ZAS, ZAPATEOS, and ZAPATEAS* for 122. Went with ZAS because I do better with clunky draws (paralleling ZA) and it seemed like I would still bingo a ton with AEP?, making it worth taking the 5 extra points and closed board with a lead likely to come soon.
>Sal: ILNV E8 .NVIL +16 42
>Will: ?AEGOPW K5 WAG +28 70
#note Thought about PAW, but shedding the hated G pumps my bingo% up by a full 10 percentage points.
>Sal: EILMNOS 12A SEMI.LON +74 116
>Will: ?CDEOPT 11G PiCOTED +77 147
#note I have a bad habit when I spend a ton of time looking for bingos and don't find a great option where I realize how much time I've spent and then make a quick decision without evaluating the options properly. First of all, I'm almost positive that I thought of the word POCKETED but I definitely didn't notice that it scored 86 at B8. The new scoring spots it creates aren't ideal but it's absolutely better than just leaving an open S untouched in a triple lane. I also didn't give any consideration to L4 COPED scoring 47 points, leaving T? - not likely that I'll get any shot at the triple triple, but every now and then I might get a crack at it, and even if I don't it's pretty comparable to bingoing now with PICOTED.

>Will: ACILOPX 13F OX +39 374
#note An embarrassment of good options here. I missed PIXEL completely - that looks awesome to set up ECO for huge points with an E draw. LORICA/AWAITERS sets up another high scoring spot for the X and scores well. I really only considered OXALIC and OX and I decided I would greedily go for another bingo - surprisingly, AX seems to bingo a touch more than OX.
>Sal: ADEFO C9 FOA.ED +32 246
>Will: ACEIILP M10 I.EA +20 394
#note I regretted this move after making it but this play sims competitively with other options.
>Sal: IIU -IIU +0 246
>Will: BCIJLPU D2 JUB. +26 420
#note Still greedily going for a bingo. The problem is I only bingo 4% of the time after JUBE. Many better options here.
