>Mack: EILOOSY H8 LOOEY +24 24
>Michael: AD G8 AD +12 12
>Mack: ?GIINRS 8A vIRGIN..S +83 107
#note While AD signals a strong leave which would suggest choosing SpIERING over this for only one less to expose less floaters, I definitely want an open board against Michael so I'm willing to concede more immediate bingo % to achieve that.
>Michael: AEERSST E5 SER.ATES +82 94
>Mack: AEORTUV I1 OUTRAVE. +63 170
#note Much safer than putting the E at O7.
>Michael: DIL 1G ID.L +15 109
>Mack: CEEEGPW 12A WEEP. +28 198
>Michael: AEIJNRU 3E JAUN.IER +66 175
>Mack: ACEFGRX I10 FRAG +22 220
#note A weird-looking play, but the X has so much potential to improve (F5 OX, L1 XERIC, etc) that the point sacrifice of this over 6B CAREX for 14 more keeping the awkward EFG leave seemed warranted. I considered L1 FARCER to score more and turn over more tiles for an O for the X bomb but couldn't stomach the easy K5-K11 2*2 lane it opened.

#note Michael seems very likely to have the S and/or blank after KEG, so I think I need to address this spot, which this play does nicely while scoraing about as well as I can with this rack. Bingos from the T on 15A seem pretty unlikely with this pool, and even if Michael does bingo there I'll be down a small amount with me having 7 tiles in the endgame and him having 5, which could go either way but I've got a good shot as long as he doesn't draw an out, which wouldn't be all that likely on the resulting board.
>Michael: HMM N13 HMM +25 326
>Mack: ?DNNORU 15A .URNDOwN +77 457
#note A bit surprised to see the blank, but I'll take it. Only bingo.
