>Frank: OPW 9F POW +20 20
>W: EGGLNSV -GGV +0 20
#note Looks like 10H LEV is the way to go here. Makes sense, any bingo with S in final position is a lock to go down post-LEV, and Frank's plays hooking LEV may give me some more lanes.

#note Extremely interesting that 14J AGENE sims best here by a smidge over exchanges. I suppose there are no Us played yet, and Frank's best plays may be at 15L, leaving me the other triple to hit with QAID, QAT, etc. Still, I'm not a huge fan of introducing such volatility that way here.

>Frank: ACENRST O6 CANTERS +90 200
>W: BDDOOQR 11A BROOD +25 222
#note Saving QD for 14F QAID - but a slightly better option is N10 DOLOR, still saving DQ but also scoring better and denying Frank the big scoring spot at N10.

>W: AAPRSUY L8 YA +12 323
#note I so wanted to play 12C YA but I felt that closing the M column would make things so annoying for Frank. Bad idea?
>Frank: AFT D8 FA..T +26 319
>W: AIPRSUV C7 VIA +19 342
#note OK, if I'm not going to be able to close the new lanes that well, I might as well set up my own S.
>Frank: EI B10 I.E +11 330
>W: AIPRRSU 7K URP +14 356
#note Considered PIRAYA, but URP should work out well for me a lot.
>Frank: LU K5 UL. +6 336
>W: AIIORSS E5 IRIS +14 370
#note I definitely screwed up this move, but it's actually a fascinating position. Yes, Frank just played ULU, but I drew the case esses! I am a huge favorite to bingo with IFS or SULU if I just fish here with something like L14 OI, which I almost did. On the other hand, Quackle picks an unbelievable play here - 4G ARIOSI. The incredible thing about ARIOSI is that I'm expected to bingo nearly 60% next turn drawing 6 tiles out of the bag! For reference, Quackle thought I was going to bingo 38% of the time after URP, leaving AIRS. But I guess the unseen pool is pretty good for bingos, and if Frank bingos on row 3, I'm almost guaranteed to be able to play whatever I draw on row 5, and vice versa. IRIS looks like a good block of SULU and IFS, but it gives up a great sevens line back to Frank on column F, so it doesn't even block as many bingos as something like 4K SARI.
>Frank: EN L4 EN +6 342
>W: AEMOOSU 3L MEOU +17 387
#note Amazingly, I am now at 0% here, as Frank has RIGHTED in two spots no matter what, even if the blank is in the bag!
>Frank: DEGHIRT F1 RIGHTED +75 417
#note Which, of course, it was, for maximum psychological trauma
>Frank: (?AOS) +6 423
