>Joe_Edley: BGHOU 8H BOUGH +30 30
#note I finally get to play Joe Edley! Somehow I've been playing tournaments for 13 years and I'd never played Joe Edley.
>Matt_Canik: EELQSUY 9F QUEY +34 34
>Joe_Edley: IIIIUU -IIIIUU +0 30
>Matt_Canik: AACELLS M3 CALLAS +30 64
#note Ooh, LAC(QUEY) is 22 and holds AELS and is fun! I like defense a lot but I wonder if it's really forgoing this much equity vs. something like CA(U)SAL/QUEYS or C(H)ALLA
>Joe_Edley: ASV J6 VA.S +32 62
>Matt_Canik: CEFNPRT 4K FR.NC +26 90
>Joe_Edley: DINR 10E RIND +28 90
#note Well the G is now a super important tile
>Matt_Canik: EIJOPRT O4 .OPIER +30 120
>Joe_Edley: DELNU 11H UNLED +19 109
>Matt_Canik: EFIJTTW K2 JI.F +34 154
#note Hooray closed boards!
>Joe_Edley: ?DIIKSV 12B KIDVIdS +89 198
>Joe_Edley: ?DIIKSV -- -89 109
#note I was so shook when Joe played BEDUS* but I stuck to my guns and challenged (though I thought he played it as a deliberate phoney... he said afterwards that he just had a mental lapse and forgot it wasn't good)
>Matt_Canik: EEIMTTW 12K TEW +20 174
#note I wonder how aggressive I can be here. It's probably silly to play something like TWEE 11B, right?

A Q sim actually likes WITE 11B but idk, this seems okay
>Joe_Edley: ?DIIKSV N10 KIS +24 133
>Matt_Canik: AEIMOTX 13E TOXEMIA +80 254
#note What a ridiculous draw and fit
>Joe_Edley: ADIMPSV 14E AMID +37 170
#note Joe's actual rack. He thought about a bunch here but makes a pretty cool play to set up the case S....
>Matt_Canik: EHLORTT 15H HOTTER +51 305
#note ...that only really backfires if I have a good blank play or this H, which I do indeed have.
>Joe_Edley: ?AEPSTV 15A STAVE +39 209
#note As luck would have it, another one of Joe's preferred options last turn (AVID 14C) would have somehow yielded RESTAmP/P(AVID) for an absurd amount of points and would have tilted me for the rest of nationals
>Matt_Canik: AEGILNT A8 GELATIN. +80 385
>Joe_Edley: ??BINPR D4 BuRPINg +75 284
