>Jackson: AAEFHMS 10F HAAF +24 54
#note Interesting choice between FAH, FAH, and HAAF. HAAF makes the board the most S hooky, but the 10F plays also raise his average score by a bit. I'm surprised by that cause I was thinking that HAAF limited his options the most. I guess FAH restricts his options on the lower half of the board cause he can only play parallel or play FAHS.
I didn't like starting a stack war witih FAH, but with S in hand it might be okay. Stackings that go to the right are more ideal cause more S hooks will be created, but just based on average scores FAH is okay.
FAH/PINA seems like the most aggressive play, raising my average by a lot. That seems to be the play here. I also get some plays from the H

>Jackson: EIIMNSU 11C MUNI +17 71
#note exchange IU, MUNI, UNI.
Sim likes UNI best by a bit, but I think I should have exchanged. The position is tough for bnjy after exchanging, and good for me cause I have an S. UNI and MUNI both bail him out a lot
>bnjy: ?EELRRT 4E TRa.ELER +70 110
>Jackson: AEEISSU 11I EAU +11 82
#note considered some other placements of EAU that keep the board slightly more open, but I think the board is open enough that it's worth taking the extra few points here

#note or ISSEI?
I tend to hang on to Ss cause I feel like quackle doesn't realize their full value.

#note sooooooo bad
(C)OBB firstly. AB(S)ORB secondly. I looked from the C but could only come up with CARB and CRAB, which kinda suck. Still probably better than NOBBY though. My plan with NOBBY was for him to not have an S or K, and think I had one or both, and be paranoid about blocking it, then set up more lanes or bingo immediately.
This is a decent plan but I think I'm jumping into the risk way too early. Not only does he fuck me over if he has a K or S now, I'm also committing myself to the bingo-path when I don't need to be. The game is early enough and close enough that a more middling play like CRAB is probably better - I could draw a Y for 2 row plays, a blank, or an X for other scoring plays.
Obv COBB is the play and ABSORB is second.

>Jackson: AAOORTU J4 .O.UAT +15 238
#note didn't see (MI)AOU which is well worth considering. I don't think I would do it because I want the 14 row to be open, since I need to bingo now
>bnjy: GG 13A .GG +25 318
>Jackson: ADDORXY M7 DOXY +32 270
#note I considered (C)OX for a while as well. I decided against it because even when the setup works, I'm still at a big disadvantage and need to draw the blank. He'll play at G13 for 20-30 points, leaving me almost down 100, and I'll be getting 60-80 from the setup. I'll still need to draw the blank to win, and maybe even bingo.
Much prefer the DOXY route for many reasons. In any situation I need to draw the blank to win, and DOXY does pretty well when I draw the blank. DOXY puts me in 1-bingo range, so I can win with just 1 bingo.
I also liked DOXY because it sets up future setups at 8L that are super hard to block. (SO)P, (SO)T, (SO)D are impossible to block fully unless bnjy has the tile. Those setups + bingoes will definitely win
>bnjy: EFS M2 FES +34 352
>Jackson: ADEIJLR 2C RAJ +23 293
#note very poor play. My thinking was that with 6 in the bag, he will not play at 1a because that empties the bag and lets me bingo out. however, if he has the M he can play for enough points to let me bingo out and outrun. He has to not have the M, which is a decent gamble, but I also need the blank. He can also just play 2 tiles, let me bingo, and hit the 1a spot to outrun.
I missed (SO)JA which looks better, but still a real longshot. He can play 3 tiles and outrun any bingoes I have.
champ likes RI(O)JA, which looks cool. Playing 4 tiles is definitely ideal because he can't outrun me easily. The issue is that he can just play at 15a with EME or EMO or whatever and block all my bingoes. Even if I set up from SO I won't be able to outrun.
