>Samuel_Kaplan: EHLNRRT 8G HERN +14 14
#note LEHR or HERL are a little better - NRT>LRT
>Jay_Levin: DUW 7F WUD +17 17
>Samuel_Kaplan: FILLRRT -FILLRRT +0 14
#note Since the board is already gross for my rack, I felt like playing thru this rack was gonna hurt me down the road. I am not gonna score anything and no plays keep well. Q's top choice is J5 FLINT for 10 keeping LRR. No thank you, I'm gonna dig for Ss and blanks.
>Jay_Levin: ?EIOOTX - +0 17
#note Not acutal rack. Jay exchanged 5.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEIORS K7 OSIERED +74 88
#note I saw OSIERED at 6A but no need to be reckless. I know Jay likes defense so I wanted to counter that with this play instead of OREIDES at K2.
>Jay_Levin: ?BEMNOS L1 ENtOMBS +74 91
#note BEMOaNS or BOwSMEN at L1 or 12F gOMBE(E)NS are Jay's best plays.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFGRRSY 1K F.RRY +33 121
#note This or REFRY in the same spot are best.
>Jay_Levin: ENOV 5H VENO. +20 111
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEGIRRS 13I RI.GE +16 137
#note Even if I saw RERIG J10, I prefer an open board against Jay, so I like this play for that reason. J12 RIG is probably better, he might not be keeping very well after VENOM.
>Jay_Levin: EOP J8 .OPE +26 137
>Samuel_Kaplan: CCEFNRS 14H REF +29 166
#note FEN H13 would have prevented Jay's next play.
>Jay_Levin: AEEOZ 15D ZOEAE +78 215
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACCLNSS L10 SAN. +22 188
#note I passed up N10/N11 plays because I don't like what it does to the board at my deficit.
>Jay_Levin: BIO M8 BIO +12 227
>Samuel_Kaplan: CCJKLQS -CCJKLQ +0 188
#note JOCK 4K for 26 and exchanging sim close. Jay knows I have the last S so he's probably gonna block that next turn.
>Jay_Levin: DIT D12 DIT. +28 255
>Samuel_Kaplan: IILOSTU 8M .IO +15 203
#note Don't really have a choice now. This is best.
>Jay_Levin: UX C13 XU +38 293
#note Cmon man lol
>Samuel_Kaplan: CILLSTU I2 CLU. +7 210
#note Jay is really all in for blocking the board up. I didn't like N11 CULTI because all he has to do is block the T in ENTOMBS and I'm toast. This allows for possible bingoes ending with -AL which are not gonna be easy to block.
>Jay_Levin: AGT N6 GA.T +11 304
>Samuel_Kaplan: IKLOSTT 6C KILO +17 227
#note More lanes plz
>Jay_Levin: CIM C3 MIC. +24 328
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADSTTU D1 DAUT +22 249
#note At this point I decided to start cutting spread knowing I am not likely to win this one. Q likes this play either way.
>Jay_Levin: AH 1D .AH +7 335
>Samuel_Kaplan: AJSTTWY 14B J..TY +61 310
#note At first I thought I was toast. I am very happy that I saw this.
>Jay_Levin: IQ O5 QI +14 349
>Samuel_Kaplan: ALNSTTW B2 TAW +23 333
#note One last gasp for air before I find another route.
>Jay_Levin: EL E4 EL. +13 362
#note Yep, I figured he might block. I still have life after JUTTY imo.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AELNPST 15J STAPLE +33 366
#note SEPTAL in the same spot. This is 2nd. Still have life.
>Jay_Levin: AAGIN 2D .GIN +17 379
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?NV O12 VaN. +10 376
#note Whew. I managed to grind this one out. I thought he had me but this is one of those games where you never give up.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (AA) +4 380
