>Josh_Sokol: EOORTUW 8D OUTWORE +72 72
>Howard_Pistol: CEFFI D8 .FFICE +28 28
>Josh_Sokol: DJLLRRS 11C J.LL +22 94
#note Normally in this sort of position I would play J(E)LL. I'm ahead a bingo, so I want to block bingo lanes. OFFICE takes DRS, so I am looking to block that. But since only 9 hooks for OFFICE are left and I have 4(!) of them on my rack, I felt it was better for me to leave it open, since I'm affecting my own options more here than I am my opponent's. This wins a sim over JILL by 2.5 points, and over J(I)RD by 3.5
>Howard_Pistol: ACEINNR 14B NARCEIN +87 115
#note Howard saw CANNIER first, but took a few minutes to see and talk himself into its anagram.
>Josh_Sokol: DELORRS H5 DRO.LERS +60 154
#note Thought this would at least get a hold. It's phony. I missed my valid bingos through the E and decided that this would likely be let go.

>Josh_Sokol: AAAIRTY 15G TAYRA +32 186
>Howard_Pistol: AIPV 5D VAPI. +22 183
>Josh_Sokol: AAABDGI 13A BAD. +27 213
#note If I can hold on for one turn, I should be OK
>Howard_Pistol: ?DEITUV 10H .DUcTIVE +71 254
>Josh_Sokol: AAEGIOO D2 OGI.E +18 231
#note Very close to playing (V)OGIE instead but it seemed like it was a better option to leave myself with more options to bingo next turn. It was a fine line between allowing Howard freer access to scoring spots and giving myself all the chances I can get with my awful leave. 9G O(L)EA wins a sim by a little bit but I'm not too convinced.

>Howard_Pistol: ORZ 8L Z.RO +69 392
>Josh_Sokol: ?EKNOTU 2A UNT.OK +40 322
#note I thought this might also be valid, and that it was tough to challenge.
>Howard_Pistol: EENQ A1 Q.EEN +45 437
>Josh_Sokol: ?BEIOUX O1 BOX +48 370
#note Hated everything here. 3F IBEX probably wins the most often.
