>Will: ?EIIORU 8H EUOI +8 8
#note Probably 8F is more standard. I liked opening both a triple lane ending in E and a 4x lane holding a blank.
>Jason: AJYZ 7F JAZY +48 48
>Will: ??AIORX 9B AIRprOX +83 91
#note Right bing, but should've played AIrpROX instead of AIRprOX to reduce Jason's scores by 1 when he plays at 8A. #tacticssmall, like really really small.
>Jason: DEOR 8A REDO +26 74
>Will: AILLMNW K5 LIM.NAL +36 127
#note Painful to not play WILLIAM but I'm all about that equity
>Jason: ADER J3 READ +18 92
>Will: ADEHITW L1 WITHED +42 169
>Jason: AEH 1L .HAE +30 122
>Will: AAAORST M3 AA +13 182
#note So admittedly I missed 2J ARIOT here which looks pretty nice, but picking which fish to make here was tricky. I don't think I appreciated that M1 HOA would bingo a similar amount to the plays fishing off two As. That looks definitely best thanks to the extra 6 points. But F6 AJAR vs M3 AA vs J10 AA was a tough call. I thought M3 AA would help me get down more bingos but apparently AJAR bingos just as much and doesn't open anything up - it certainly would've worked out better here. #tacticssmall
>Jason: EEGNNST N3 GENNETS +70 192
>Will: AIOORST 11F OSTIO.AR +58 240
#note Missing D4 ORATORIOS for 28 more points. #findinglarge
>Jason: FU J10 F.U +27 219
>Will: CIMNOUY 12A CONIUM +30 270
#note I didn't see O5 YONI; it seems a hair above CONIUM, which at least partially blocks some of the FOU hooking bingos Jason might have. #findingsmall
>Jason: EVW L10 W.VE +29 248
>Will: BEFLNPY 14J FLYPE +56 326
>Jason: OPU A12 .OUP +24 272
>Will: BEGLNRR B11 B.RN +18 344
#note My penchant for mishandling Gs strikes again; this should be RONG for the same score but far more flexible leave (and RONG doesn't allow BORNE plays to go down). #tacticssmall
>Jason: IIT C11 I.TI +21 293
>Will: EEGLQRT 2K Q. +11 355
#note Blocking bingos that might play with DREAD and TREAD and also maybe BREAD or AREAD plays that open more lines. Quackle nevertheless prefers 2F GLEET just to stay far enough ahead; that looks dangerous, because I'll have the Q to deal with in those endgames and could easily lose.
>Jason: CD D7 C..D +7 300
>Will: EEGLORT 15G OGLE +20 375
#note I opted to empty the bag here because I was scared that fishes drawing into bingos with R in final position would be unblockable, and felt that playing along row 15 to the middle TWS blocked the most bingos; but it's actually tough for Jason to fish one tile in a way that scores enough for his eventual bingo to win. Something like 15M ERG or ORG to prevent the truly nasty bingos available with FLYPES is probably best. I was at least correct that playing at H15 cuts his bingo% the most. #strategysmall
