#note Also considered NOCEBO. Thought of BONCE which I wasn't totally sure of. BO 7D may be reasonable.

#note Actual rack.
>Noah: ?ABENOR 15H .EAROBiN +80 264
#note Didn't think of SEABORNE here at all. Maybe it is worth playing at 14G (for one more point than this), but the RNE seems more useful than the OBiN for bingoing (A 609 iteration sim gives strong evidence for this, with a ~5.8% bingo chance drop from sEABORNE to SEAROBiN). I also considered BROmANCE (I had been thinking something else there could be a good play too, but it turns out to be the only bingo through the C) but figured I might as well play SEAROBiN, in part because the S was a threat.

>Noah: DDKNRTY 4G D.RKY +13 277
#note Also considered INKY but I felt like this reduced his next term bingo percentage a lot and was happy about that. Seems like I'm a pretty short term (2-ply) thinker in a lot of situations. I didn't consider plays like NODDY or TODDY (with perhaps the latter being better given the consonant situation in the pool). It may be stronger to keep the K here. DNT doesn't look very useful if Rafi leaves the board intact, whereas the K can often draw into decent scores on at least rows 13 and 14. Of course Rafi may try to aggressively open, which could raise DNT's value.
>Rafi: ILLW 12H .WILL +16 181
>Noah: ?DNPTTT -DPTT +0 277
#note Also considered PUTZ. Wasn't excited about DNTT?. I *can* get some bingos on col M with it. Right now I'm counting a 76/565 chance of that with no inference. I noticed this in-game, but didn't think too much about it. Not too shabby.

#note Getting pretty low on time now, played quickly. Just fishing the V hits so many 7s here. I might want to V(AIN) instead of V(ICE) because if I do VICE and he bingos on column M I may not get a bingo next turn. That said, I would think I win most games where Rafi plays a bingo next turn and I don't get a bingo on the following turn. But yeah if I play VAIN I think I am guaranteed a bingo with 6/7 of draws, missing just the D and Q. Actually though, a sim shows V(A)N 5D bingoing a similar amount to V(AIN) -- within ~1%.

>Noah: ?ADEEST O1 ADEpTES. +74 406
#note Didn't see sEDATES(T). This seems better because it gives back no nines on row 1 while sEDATEST gives back PAROQUETS / PAROTOIDS. Wondered if not bingoing could be better here. Again didn't have much time.
>Rafi: AEHPQTU 4C P.H +22 353
#note Rafi and I both saw that he would prefer to have a C instead of a P here. We were both pretty low on time at this point. When he played this he said something like "let's see what happens". Quackle likes AQUAE 1H.
>Noah: DIOORU B1 DURO +19 425
#note Missed ODOUR, which Quackle likes best.
>Rafi: AEQTU N12 QUA. +24 377
>Noah: IO O11 OI +15 440
#note Really low ending times. I think I had 3 seconds. Rafi maybe had 4 seconds, but I didn't pay as much attention to that, it's possible he had quite a bit more.
