>JD: AAEPQXZ 8G ZAX +38 38
#note so much setup potential! In TWL it is often worthwhile to put a Z at 8F when holding the X, but ZO makes that less profitable. this is kind of a unique rack with the Q also being there too. a couple of other setuppy plays I can try are APEX at 8G (with a lot of ZAX/ZEX counterplays) or PAX at 8H, but I'm not sold on either being better against a thinking opponent.
>Koenig: LLUW 9H WULL +23 23
>JD: AABBEPQ -AABBPQ +0 38
#note I saw no potential for playing the Q anytime soon, but a play like BABEL at K5 at least gives me a chance of drawing a T or a U or something, and should be worth playing. A rack with a lone E is not all that strong, and APQ is not so disastrous yet.

#note AA and AO are pretty close. mild preference for OARIER

#note his actual rack, I believe

>Koenig: GNTW C9 TW.NG +20 167
>JD: FFLNOPY 14A FLY +31 226
#note thought this was clever (sets up some -FF plays at A12) but missed the star play of PYLON at 14B keeping a synergetic FF combo. About an 11-point error.

#note seemed like I was in big trouble
>JD: AINOPSV C1 VOIP +28 311
#note very hard choice - SPAVIN to dig for the blanks, or VOIP for better leave? Q thinks it's a tossup between that or VINOS at C2. My thinking was that after SPAVIN, any bingo from dave would probably end the game, whereas VOIP kept things a little more open and might allow me to respond
>Koenig: ?EEMNOR 2E fOREMEN +74 371
>JD: AHILNRS 12F SHRINAL +75 386
#note lucky draw - Q thinks I'm just under 50-50 to win.
>Koenig: DEJOSST 6B JE.S +27 398
#note clutch draw for me. bad luck for dave.
