#note Rafi played this because it looked better vs. bingo-ey racks than WEB did. I commented that NEWBIE might be a good opening play against a non-exchange, but thought BLEW made sense. But wasn't sure. One thing I hadn't considered is that opening an L might help bingo-ey racks out a bit. This sims best by a bit inferring the 4 I actually kept, after 1700ish iterations of 4-ply (probably not converged yet).

>Noah_Walton: ACEIQRS 12J CAIQ.E +36 182
#note Maybe I should have played CIRQUE, given his next play? But BA after CIRQUE still looks pretty good, so I'm not sure.
>Rafi_Stern: ABDEGIN 13L DI. +33 71
>Noah_Walton: ENNNRRS L6 N.NER +6 188
#note Also thought about RENNIN and RENIN. I could also exchange. Kind of liked how much this limited his options, and limited the board in general. NRS is decent here. Hm! Also wasn't 100% on this being good.

>Noah_Walton: ADGJNRS 3G JARG.NS +48 236
#note There's also JARGON 10J, which I didn't see because I played this very quickly.

>Noah_Walton: ADILMOT 5E AMIDO +25 261
#note Maybe something else? OMS J5 could be good. While this blocks a bingo lane, it does open up a new one. His bingo % looks pretty similar after either play. Given that information, I might choose OMS instead. Though this has the virtue of sort of taking up space -- if I don't block HEAR hooks now, and I want to block them later, I probably still have to open roads to the left side of the board. But I don't really have to block HEAR hooks that badly.
>Rafi_Stern: EGN K11 G.E +13 130
>Noah_Walton: CILNTTX O14 XI +36 297
#note Wasn't sure about this! I didn't see TINCT 10D, which might be good. I did think about CLIT (6D or 10E) and EX. It's nice that TINCT plays off one more vowel than CLIT, but on the downside, it opens up a T. This opens me up to scary draws but man ... it just scores so much! It didn't seem like there was that much potential for the X on this board either. idk, maybe this is wrong.
>Rafi_Stern: ELNU L1 LU.E +18 148
>Noah_Walton: CLNOTTY 10F OCTYL +32 329
#note Not gonna play CLOTTY 6A here. (Should I for spread? Probably still no!). I scored this as 36 at first then hesitated when I realized its true score, and considered COLY for a bit. But this still seemed good.

>Noah_Walton: ?IOOSTT G3 .O.. +13 405
#note Man, I missed rISOTTOS here! I even thought of making the blank an R for a little while. Champ loves fishing one tile here, but of course it does because it pretends opp plays like Speedy Player afterward. Champ likes GO best as a fish. But who knows. It is possible that bingoing isn't right here.
>Rafi_Stern: AOPPVWY B8 POW +35 327
#note Rafi said the Z was in the bag, I think.
>Noah_Walton: ?IIOSTT 1L .IST +12 417
#note Chickened out of HOmILIST. Even though I wasn't sure I probably should've just played it. Also trying to be too fancy here. Just LOTI is better, because I can play QIS and TAIn after he does LAZY.
>Rafi_Stern: APVYZ 11C .AZY +37 364
>Noah_Walton: ?IOT J1 TI.On +21 438
#note So proud of myself.
