>Joe_Edley: IIII -IIII +0 0
#note it began as Joe laughed about his draw. I figured it was 5 vowels and both blanks
>Joshua_Sokol: EILRTWY H3 TWIRLY +32 32
>Joe_Edley: ??AETTU 5E EqU.TAnT +74 74
#note sometimes the triple scores more than the 2x2. I told Joe immediately that he should have played to the Y and he said he didn't consider it, he would rather play defensively. It's 6 points. Sal noted PEANUTT(Y), but TUTELARY and TEXTUARY are 80.
>Joshua_Sokol: EENOPWZ 6G P.OW +36 68
>Joe_Edley: DEEEINV L1 EVEN.IDE +78 152
>Joshua_Sokol: CEEEINZ 1H NIEC. +21 89
#note Marlon and Edley were laughing at Joe's draw, so I could only assume he had drawn another bingo. And yet I still couldn't pull the trigger on 2L (V)ICE, a hoping play, hoping that he can't hit the E and that I will draw a huge z-bomb next turn. The game would have been so much easier to win if I had just pulled the trigger on (V)ICE. Even ZEIN 6B, which I totally missed, is better than this play.

#note I think at this point I need to keep lines open and keep at least two vowels on my rack. This seemed better than BOEUF at 11D and definitely better than BOEUF at 4A. I need to leave my options open.
>Joe_Edley: ATX 11D TAX +28 415
#note in post-mortem we saw that this play allowed me to try for the win, whereas he could make other plays that not only outran bingos but also didn't open up the palatable option of a Q stick.
>Joshua_Sokol: BBEIINS G10 BIB +18 358
#note I need to play the BIB that doesn't give Joe a Q spot and threaten bingos, to then hopefully execute a Q stick.
>Joe_Edley: CRS 9A .RCS +9 424
>Joshua_Sokol: EIJNNSY 4A JENNY +51 409
