>Puneet: AABDEST -- -74 31
>JD: DDJORUV 15F VODU. +24 129
#note Puneet is definitely capable of finding DATABASE here even after phonying. I should drop JO at I13 and block.
>Puneet: AABDEST 13G DAT.BASE +78 109
>JD: DEEJLLR N10 JER.ED +60 189
#note I did not know DATABASED! cool hook. can play JELLED/DATABASED.
>Puneet: ACEIR O14 AI +17 126
#note I believe he put down CERIA/JA, then picked it up to play AI...interesting
>JD: AEELLTU 12L LU.E +16 205
#note given what Puneet just flashed of his rack, I was reluctant to put down ELUATE for 35, but he still has row 12 anyway - should just play it.
>Puneet: ACEIKRT 12D TRAIK +42 168
#note if he'd put down CERIA last turn he'd have TACKIER which he surely wouldn't miss, so I guess my inference was wrong.
>JD: AELMTTW O8 TWA +27 232
>Puneet: CHNOS K5 CHONS +29 197
>Puneet: CHNOS -- -29 168
>JD: ADELMRT 7H MARLED +23 255
#note this play sucks - the idea was to block column N since I know he has an S, but there are 3 more in the bag for me to draw and he didn't bingo, so why not just play DREAMT for 32 at 11B and try to draw one for myself?

>JD: IIOPSTU 2B PITIOUS +74 395
>JD: IIOPSTU -- -74 321
#note lol. this is really embarassing. I was honestly more concerned with trying to get to 500 again, and I pretty much knew this wasn't good and played it anyway. I truly deserved to lose from this point onward. sorry puneet.
>Puneet: EIILORS 4B SOILIER +69 279
>JD: IIOPSTU 5C POI +20 341
#note the pool is terrible. I should probably just kill the board semi-permanently with UPO at 3B, which takes out the scariest lane (row 2).
>Puneet: EFZ 1M FEZ +52 331
>JD: IMNOSTU 3B UM +24 365
#note saving QIS/SUM if I draw Q
>Puneet: ABINOTU E7 TABOU.IN +70 401
#note Puneet was supposedly 2% to bingo after UM, so I guess I got a little unlucky
>JD: EHINOST H2 O.. +3 368
#note unfortunately, missed out on my 3/8 pre-endgame (which would've won me the game here) because I didn't know STRAIK. Knowing that, I can fish off the H and draw for TENSION/STRAIK and INTONES at the top, and TERSION or TRIONES if I pull an R. The N was in the bag, so this should've been my win! I ran out of time and tried a play that had no chance because I didn't see QIS at I1 to block if I draw NITHERS/HOOR.
>Puneet: EINQRWY I1 QI. +13 414
>JD: EHINNST A1 NTH +26 394
>Puneet: ENRWY 10D Y.W +17 431
>JD: EINS 6A NIES +17 411
#note SINE/STRAIK for one more. I made more mistakes in this game than I did in entire sessions the rest of the tournament. I guess I was tired and had a bad attitude. We all struggle sometimes. It's ok! Gotta be nice to yourself.
