>jackson: DDEGHRT D4 HEDG. +26 26
>cesar: AEHLMRU 9H HUMERAL +69 95
#note HUMERAL on top is slightly defensively better. it blocks the D lane and is also harder to underlap to the triple. -0.5 #strategysmall

>jackson: DIMNRTW -- -18 26
#note oh no! this is an uncharacteristic error ..
J: my brain stopped working. I have always felt MEWN* resembled a valid word, so since I was like an infant I've learned to remind myself of HEWN and MEWL, but for some damn reason I decide to not think about that and focus so intently on keeping this board open that I play a frickin phony 4 at nationals. even if this is valid it's not a good play. E2 TWIN and K8 WEND were my other main considerations, I didn't want to play TWINED or anything cause that starts exhausting the board. I wanted humerals to stay open but expected a row 8 play next turn that blocks it. E2 TWIN is honestly fine, keepsthe 7 row with the DMR leave, marginal 2 row, and possibly leaves the K column open if Cesar doesn't have a good overlapping rack. I could even do M(E)W for more variance if I want to go that route, it's not bad. #knowledgelarge
>cesar: ?BJLNOV C3 JOB +33 128
>jackson: DIMNRTW K8 W.ND +16 42
#note hate basically everything that plays higher up on the K column. I could be talked into NEWT to make 8 row overlaps harder, or WERT to keep the F column open for me...
>cesar: ?FLNPUV M7 FL.P +13 141
#note i chickened out on the far better P(A)NFUL. i didn't want to risk it on a word i wasn't totally sure of, but i need to be better at the words. -17 #knowledgelarge. also, N7 VULN > FLAP because HUMERAL takes an S. i completely had forgotten about this.
>jackson: AAIMRTT E5 TA +17 59
>cesar: ?ANRTUV F8 .UV +15 156
#note quackle prefers taking the pts with B4 NAV (and also killing that part of the board). RTU? should bingo pretty often, and it's good to score more points here. -5.5 #visionmedium #tacticsmedium
>jackson: ABDIMRT F4 BAM +31 90
#note I had a hunch that IMRT might hit more on this board than DIRT (D often ends words, so it's harder to hit the L column), but then told myself I was overthinking it and DIRT was a more standard bingo leave. DAB sims best and bingoes a bit more than BAM! I saw DIRAM which scores well and is a bit better for the board, but BT is quite problematic for the bingo %. #tacticssmall
>cesar: ?AEGNRT 12E GARNETs +66 222
#note this is a very poor placement for my bingo, reminds me of playing newbs who play a blank bingo hitting nothing for 20 fewer than an actual good play. my main problem is that i just completely forgot HUMERAL took an S. if he had put an S on it i would have been like oh yeah! also, the pretty R(EH)EATING is available, and should be eminently findable by me. even BERATiNG is a ton better. i suppose i was trying to play defense, if one was to assume HUMERAL didn't take an S, my move might be defensible compared to BERATING. in any case, i'm very likely to win this game now no matter what, but i should learn the words better. #knowledgelarge -22
>jackson: DDIIORT 13B IODID +20 110
#note I was really happy to see GARNETs come down because he doesn't think HUMERAL takes an S, and that hook isn't getting accidentally blocked too often. This is my best equity play but I definitely prefer it to DIDO to set up the Z, either to make him paranoid and block, or for me to hit alongside another bingo to win the game.
>cesar: ACIKNPS 4F .ACKSPIN +92 314
>jackson: ELNORTU - +0 110
#note forced challenge
>cesar: AAILRWX 13H AX +36 350
#note 13H AWA is a great setup for my X. -6 #visionmedium #tacticsmedium
>jackson: ELNORTU B9 ELUT.ON +18 128
#note idk, I should probably just play for spread at this point cause even a 3x3 isn't winning. maybe the very likely 1-2-3 punch of 3x3 and humerals bingo and humerals challenge
>cesar: AILRSTW 15A S.AW +33 383
#note by win % my play sims best, but that's only because leaving the triple-triple open loses some tiny % of the time. i should do O4 TWIRLS if i want spread.
>jackson: AEEINQR 3L QI +37 165
>cesar: EILORTU A3 OUTLIER +76 459
>jackson: AEENORV 2M AVO +15 180
#note jackson is good at forking the board like this when down.
>cesar: ACEEIII N6 CEI.I +28 487
>jackson: EENORSY O7 YE +33 213
#note I should play YES to put him on tilt
>cesar: ?AEEINT J8 A.I +16 503
#note quackle's ridiculous robot brain wants me to do J12 TEAT or TEIN so i can have a great chance at a triple-triple or at least a bingo up top. pretty crazy. the equity loss here is gigantic, but i'll just roll my eyes at it. #tacticsmedium
>jackson: EORRRS 1H ERRORS +25 238
#note SNORRER* doesn't fly I guess ;)
>cesar: ?EEINTZ 14F ZEE +68 571
