>JD: AADGIOP 8D PAGODA +26 26
>Cesar: FMOO 7G MOFO +35 35
>JD: ?CIIKOY 6J YOK +31 57
#note I picked YOK instead of PICKY to block the cheap hotspot and because I felt CIIP? would be reasonable to hit. PICKY sims a point better.
>Cesar: AIS 9E AIS +15 50
>JD: ?CEIIOS M1 nICOISE +79 136
>Cesar: AEINNRS 6B INSANER +71 121
>JD: EEIRTTV D8 .RIVET +26 162
#note preferred it to VERITE at 2J to not give back column O, even on a sim
>Cesar: ABJM D2 JAMB. +32 153
>JD: ACEITXY 1J AXE.IC +45 207
#note wow this rack was really hard!! I kind of knew I was missing something - answer is that I had IXNAY at 1K for 21 more points.
>Cesar: BFR 4L F.RB +24 177
>JD: EEGHTUY 2H GUY +28 235
#note BUGEYE way better, also TEUGH at 2F which I saw but passed on due to the Q being unseen. Cesar likely didn't have the Q with FORB, so if anything TEUGH could be a good fakeout.
>Cesar: ?IOPRTW 11D .IeWPORT +110 287
>JD: EEEHNNT 3I HEN +25 260

>JD: ADEENOT 13B DE.ONATE +72 332
>Cesar: EEIT 2B EE.IT +28 345
>JD: AADEQUV 1F AVA +29 361
#note timely block of AQUA. I'm not sure why I was so determined to keep QU here, QUAD looks way better
>Cesar: DEILLRU N8 ILLUDER +72 417
#note lol. I knew there was a bingo in DEILLRU because I'd studied it, and DULLIER* looked ridiculous. Unfortunately the bingo in that rack IS DULLIER#, and it's a CSW rack that I'm 1/9 on. If I challenge this play off I'm 93% to win versus 7% to win if it stays on, so really there's no possible way I shouldn't be challenging this anyway.
>JD: DEGQTUZ B4 QU.Z +22 383
#note this looks horrible - I was just trying to drop my high-point tiles in case he bingoed. Had I challenged I can play TRUDGE/DETONATED holding QZ with no fear of him scoring on row 15, and have 5 shots at an L or R for REZ at C1.
>Cesar: EHLNSTU 15L HEST +42 459
#note at least I couldn't have won by challenging here :P
>JD: DEGRT 3C R.TED +25 408
>Cesar: LNU 13K LUN. +8 467
#note I obviously didn't play well enough to deserve to win this one, well played cesar. my lack of confidence in my word knowledge was a pervasive theme of this tournament.
