>Josh_Greenway: JO 8G JO +18 18
>Matt_Canik: EFKOSWY I7 FYKE +36 36
#note A realized about three turns down the road that KEF leaves me in an excellent short-term position with the Y for JOEY plays and the S for KEFS or JOEYS plays down the road. It's deceptively defensive.
Q had FEW winning the sim by quite a bit, but likely for the same reasons: I hold YOK for next turn already.
>Josh_Greenway: AX J9 AX +56 74
>Matt_Canik: INOSUWW 11D WINOUS +33 69
#note VINOUS is a word, this is not
>Josh_Greenway: FO 12D OF +25 99
>Matt_Canik: EEERSTW 13E SWEETER +68 137
>Josh_Greenway: ??CEIRT K3 dIRECTs +70 169
>Matt_Canik: AEEIORR 12J AERO +12 149
#note I don't know why I was so reluctant to hold an O here and just play TERAI. I hate Os but they aren't *that* bad. Bleh.
>Josh_Greenway: ACDH L1 CHAD +33 202
>Matt_Canik: EILQRUZ M8 LIQU.R +32 181
>Josh_Greenway: BILN N6 BLIN +16 218
>Matt_Canik: AEEIPSZ O7 APSE +38 219
#note I feel awful about leaving that tasty O row open so I feel like I need to play there. Q wants me to play Z(E)E here for 32.... I don't think that's the way I need to be playing this game (but, well, I guess I should have done *something* differently)
>Josh_Greenway: MOP J4 MOP +31 249
>Matt_Canik: AEEIMNZ M2 AMIE +32 251
>Josh_Greenway: DSTV H10 D.V.TS +53 302
#note Yowch. Was NOT expecting that.
>Matt_Canik: EHLNRVZ 2L ..ZE +32 283
#note Ugh! Completely missed the option for HEN/dAMN here.
>Josh_Greenway: ADD O1 D.AD +24 326
>Matt_Canik: AHLNNRV 11K HA.L +28 311
>Josh_Greenway: GUY 15E GUY. +8 334
>Matt_Canik: GNNORTV 10B GOT +14 325
#note With a bunch of Is unseen, I feel decent about my odds after this. 9A plays open new stuff and/or TWS opportunities for me so I don't think he can do too much.
>Josh_Greenway: BIIOT 1G BIOTI. +30 364
#note But he wasn't supposed to score 30! oof.
>Matt_Canik: EINNRTV 6J ..N +5 330
#note And now I'm in a weird place.
I don't wanna play off too many tiles. I really want to shed the V, but I can't really find ways to do that. In the end I thought Josh would likely block the 2 row (as it's easier to block) and leave the G open - I bingo to it with A, E, I, or O draws.
>Josh_Greenway: AEGNNRU B10 .UNNER +14 378
#note Whoa! Did not think Josh would make a play like this. And I'm sunk.
>Matt_Canik: AEINRTV F1 AVER +26 356
>Josh_Greenway: AEGILO E4 AGILE +14 392
#note And I completely missed my awesome out until about 10 seconds after I hit the clock! Guh.
>Matt_Canik: INT D2 NIT +12 368
>Matt_Canik: (O) +2 370
