#note Taking a slight equity hit to play this over 9H FEE because I have a lot of respect for Jason's ability to control the board.

#note Similar reasoniing to last turn for this play, but this might have been a little bit too volatile in a couple ways. First, it really gives a lot back to Jason if he has a D or any kind of flexible bingo leave after ZOOM. Second, drawing six tiles to my leave of A can go awry much more easily than the shorter plays. Jason and Conrad both suggested K2 GONIA after the game, and that looks quite a bit safer than AGONIZE. I also considered a compromise-type play of K4 GOA and the N-setup of 6I AZO. I do think those 4 plays are close enough for this position to be considered a stylistic preference more than a cut-and-dried correct answer situation, but the way this game unfolded certainly illustrates the risk of playing AGONIZE.

#note Hoping for an I for QIS at 8A and then maybe some kind of miraculous Q bingo? This game is pretty much decided now anyway.
>Jason: AADDIMS B7 DADAISM +68 364
#note The elusive quad bingo.
>Will: BDNPQRT 2A PR.B +16 201
#note Now hoping for just QAT.

#note Not quite sure what I was up to here - this doesn't look very good. I balked at D11 UVEA due to the three unseen L's. F2 VAT at least lets me play 15A GLANDULE if I happen to draw two of them, among a few other things.
