#note Q likes playing short here by around two points. Given the opponent, I'm not sure I agree
>Mike_Willis: LPT 6G P.LT +8 8
>Matt_Canik: AEGINOR 5G O.A +13 33
#note I nearly played GA(L)ORE here, Q says that that would have been horrible

>Matt_Canik: AAEHLRU H10 HA.LER +27 163
#note Big play here, and one I really wish I could have back. I thought his range was bingo prone and blankless, so I'm gambling he can't bingo to or from the R and instead has to hit the RIF spot for fewer points. I should just play LEHUA here at 11C. My gut told me to do this instead for some reason.... but apparently my read on his range was all wrong and this blew up a reasonably balanced rack for not a lot of points and let him score 80 in the process. I don't deserve to win tournaments

>Matt_Canik: AAADGOU 14A AGA +17 180
#note Ooh GUA(C)O is nice
>Mike_Willis: BLOO 13C BOLO +22 179
>Matt_Canik: ADENOTU 12A ANODE +28 208
#note Miscounted as 30. Those two points are gonna be important later on....

>Mike_Willis: IVV A9 VIV. +10 199
>Matt_Canik: AEINNTY 7E INA.E +20 237
#note Mike's given a strong read/tell that he has the second blank, so I think I should be blocking here
>Mike_Willis: AFTW 8B WAFT +16 215

#note Ouch
>Matt_Canik: CEIMMNT 1L ME.C +33 295
>Mike_Willis: DEHIOOR O5 HOODIE +39 339
#note Mike set down HOODIER, confirmed the score, then picked up the R thinking he had a sure win and didn't need to risk the word he wasn't sure of.
>Matt_Canik: IMNORST 14F OM.RS +20 315
#note Remember when I said those two points would come back? here they are!
I found this play that "wins" by 2 and took it. I had about 3 minutes left on my clock and could have tried to hastily recount or find a better endgame, but I didn't. Oh, this play also doesn't "win" by 2 if he just plunks his R on the end of HOODIE. Blurgh.
Q sees three wins and another three ties when fed the correct score. Can you find any?
>Mike_Willis: RTXZ E6 Z.. +12 351
>Matt_Canik: INT N9 NIT +16 331
#note How strange that I utterly stole a tie while also completely giving away a tie
>Matt_Canik: (RTX) +20 351
