>Jim_Burlant: EOPSUUV 8C UVEOUS +26 26
#note I hate having to burn the S on the open, but I can't turn down the chance to unload two U's and a V for 26. This is best.
>Cheryl_Tyler: AEGLLRW -AEGL +0 0
>Jim_Burlant: ?INPRVY E7 P.RVY +26 52
#note Thought I might have missed something here, but I didn't.
>Cheryl_Tyler: EMT D11 MET +17 17
>Jim_Burlant: ?IINNRS H1 RINSINg. +74 126
#note Only 3 bingoes play: H5 RINSINgS for 58, G5 INSURING for 59, and this, which scores 74 and is clearly best. Just shy of 88% to win in a short sim.
>Cheryl_Tyler: AWX C12 WAX +35 52
>Jim_Burlant: AAACNPQ B11 PACA +45 171
#note Glad I didn't try CAPA*. With 45 points available for this and my only Q plays being QUA or AQUA for 23 or 24, the Q has to wait. This is best.
>Cheryl_Tyler: ILOO G1 OLIO +14 66
>Jim_Burlant: AAHJMNQ F4 HAJ +35 206
#note Again, too many points available for HAJ to spend a turn dumping the Q for 23 or 24. This is best - just shy of 96% to win.
>Cheryl_Tyler: EHOR A8 HERO +25 91
>Jim_Burlant: AEMNNOQ C4 MANQ.E +28 234
#note Finally - I can unload the Q. This is best - 97% to win.
>Cheryl_Tyler: CEIR D1 CIRE +26 117
>Jim_Burlant: EENORTZ B1 ZONE +31 265
#note Aw, snap - I've played a perfect game so far, and I have to completely screw it up by whiffing on a 9! Ok, I'll cut myself some slack: I haven't progressed to studying 9's just yet, so I whiffed on (IN)TERZONE 3G for 88. :-) This is best of the rest. I'm still in excess of 99% to win.
>Cheryl_Tyler: BEI 10E .IBE +11 128
>Jim_Burlant: DEGKRRT 11H DREK +21 286
#note Or 5H IRKED. I wanted to force her to have an S or blank if she wanted to hit a 7, which is why I preferred this to IRKED.
>Cheryl_Tyler: ?ELOWY 15C YElLOW +53 181
>Jim_Burlant: AFGIRTT 3G ..GRAFT +26 312
#note Best play would have been down the A column here: GIFT A2 looks really strong. Nonetheless - all I'm sacrificing is equity at this point. The second-worst simming play (this isn't much better) still wins in excess of 99%. GIFT wins 99.6%.
>Cheryl_Tyler: DGI 12J DIG +19 200
>Jim_Burlant: DFITTTU J2 F.UIT +18 330
#note I fixated on playing here to shut down the lines INGRAFT had foolishly opened. F(R)ITT would be a bit better to keep my vowel, even if it is a U. The pure equity play is TUFT A2 for 28. Given my next set of draws, nothing I did here would have mattered.
>Cheryl_Tyler: AAGIN 14F AGAIN +22 222
>Jim_Burlant: DLOSTTU L3 .LOUT +16 346
#note So fixated on stopping lines for 8's that my brain goes dead. These same letters score 9 more at 2J. The only surprise to me is that the sim thinks this is actually very good and that it only sacrifices 3-1/2 points to the 2J placement.
>Cheryl_Tyler: ABL 13G ALB +27 249
>Jim_Burlant: DDNSSTT K11 ..D +8 354
#note Setting up AGAINST on the next turn. Better would have been 5B DAS for 26.
>Cheryl_Tyler: EEEIO M3 .OE +7 256
>Jim_Burlant: DNSSTT 14F .....ST +17 371
>Cheryl_Tyler: EEI 13K .EE +12 268
>Jim_Burlant: DNST 15C ......S +17 388
>Cheryl_Tyler: I 6F .I. +10 278
>Cheryl_Tyler: (DNT) +8 286
