>Avery: ?AEEEQU -AEE +0 0
#note Didn't like the appeal of burning a blank for 48 since I kept a bare E. The upside of this seems high. QUA doesn't score enough to justify keeping three E's.
>Mark_Schmidt: IORZ 8E ZORI +26 26
>Avery: ?ADELQU E5 QUE.ALs +96 96
>Mark_Schmidt: EFM 9D F.ME +17 43
>Avery: DFOPRTU H4 PUTR.D +23 119
#note I saw PROM but not PROMO. Barring that, This blocks the ZORI hooks and starts to make the board pretty closed up. DFOTU isn't an award-winning leave though, so I'm fine sacrificing 3 points to play this over PROM.
>Mark_Schmidt: AEK 6H .AKE +18 61
>Avery: ADFINOT K5 D.FIANT +44 163
>Mark_Schmidt: EITY F2 YETI +26 87
>Avery: ABEOPSU J8 ABO +17 180
#note Didn't like BEAU in either spot. The L9 placement gives 7s lines unnecessarily, and even the J9 placement concedes a T and S hook, which he seems more likely to have one of after YETI. I'm fine playing this to neutralize the triple lane on row 8 and make it harder to open the board.

>Mark_Schmidt: ARX M3 RAX +35 162
>Avery: GIIIIJN -GIIIIJN +0 244
#note No point keeping anything here with 3 S's and a blank unseen.
>Mark_Schmidt: ADL 1B DAL +16 178
>Avery: ABEGNRT 10B BEA. +17 261
#note Fishing is weaker here than usual with no bingo lanes (which is what I want!) - so I played this since there's 6 I's unseen and I'm saving NG, and this blocks column B and row 11. Well, actually, 4 of the I's were 'seen', so "unplayed" is a better term.

>Mark_Schmidt: EMR H12 M.RE +27 292
>Avery: EIINOOY A11 .YNIE +39 395
#note Should just do GOOEY, but points seemed good to outrun any bingo almost regardless of what I draw...
>Mark_Schmidt: EJNRU 14A .NJURE +30 322
>Avery: IIIOOOS O8 IS +14 409
#note Nice draw. -7 though
