#note I really struggled with this turn, missed K5 LOUIE which is probably better. That way, if Joe uses column O, I can bingo on column L, and if he blocks column L I can use column O. If Joe doesn't have the G, though, DOE looks very strong, as it's really hard for him to block without giving something else back. I think a lot of it comes down to how likely Joe is to have the other G after JAG. I think there's a decent enough chance he didn't have it - after all, he is barely ahead, and JAG may have scored much more than anything else he had available. So DOE probably isn't so bad as it may seem.

#note B8 ETAS is sick. Don't think I would have risked it anyway with the tournament on the line though as spread was totally irrelevant.
