#note Maybe HEW instead, or WHAM? Open seems good against Mike, though closed might be better. I could see doing HEW.

#note My turn: see and quickly dismiss FOB / FAB 9I because it opens easy scoring threats. Similarly dismiss WAFER, though more because it kept COB. Think about COIF and not see anything better for a bit. Then see BRIEF and play it almost immediately. COB 9I is a cool setup I didn't see. FOB was beating BRIEF by 2-4 points in a 4 play sim. I can see ACER being really strong here. Doesn't BRIEF / COIF make Mike work a lot harder here, though, and potentially induce a lot more errors? I'd be interested in learning more about this position. Currently I still prefer BRIEF, but am more hesitant.

#note JOUK is good, didn't see it. Hm. Actually nvm, this has way higher valuation. Why? Strong pool? Pool is strong enough that DINOR doesn't really do much, I guess. Would be nice to confidently reason to such conclusions on my own, without trusting Quackle. If I were able to do that I think it'd mean I understood the game better, and it'd also be nice because Quackle makes errors and if I just follow it too much, I'll just happily eat the garbage when it feeds it to me rather than being able to smell it.

#note Going for the block. Another option is to do BRO 3M or something, hoping Mike won't find a play to the triple. Meh.
