#note -3.5, keep MARN actually. always tough for me to keep that vowel/consonant ratio for a leave that doesn't seem THAT appetizing. #tacticsmedium

#note i laid down JARGON and then kept going... this is phony. JAKER is the right play here.

#note oh man, gotta get better about finding those parallel plays. 9G ANOINT fits perfectly and is very clearly best. i thought TANTO didn't even take an S. #findingmedium -5

#note strongly considered BO(YA)RD here. maybe it's right. i need to give myself more points with the X next turn and i set up some good possibilities like AX/EX/OX for 48, or some good X draw at D8, etc. i think i became afraid and wanted to cash it asap. BOX does still sim best though.

#note oof, this is a bad situation. considered IDS 15A strongly. it sims best. 27 pts is too much to give up. i was trying to go for some lucky big play and didn't want to take the triple. 9J IGGED is also pretty strong; my play is not good. -8 I think one of the main issues with my play, at least earlier on, but also in general, is just that i start freaking out and getting tunnel vision. I'm afraid of losing the game and it makes me only think of a small number of scattered options. I think I improved at this as the tournament progressed. #strategylarge

#note it seems 3A OWN is a tie game, and everything else loses. over the board i thought he coulda just played VIZIR and i'd lose. i didn't think of VIZIRIAL. jeez!!!!
