#note There's no better time to open with QI than after a 1 tile exchange.

#note This looks best.

>Arie: ADEIORZ H1 DIAZO +80 140
#note ANODIZER 13G looks slightly better (not 10 points better because ER is a good leave and ANODIZER throws the board open). To be honest, I thought ANODIZER might be Collins only so I just played the word I knew for sure.

#note I think I overestimated the significance of the IDEALIzE hooks here. PATACA 3C is the sim winner by a 4 point margin, followed by AY J9, which I saw and eschewed. Bryn averages 43 points next turn after ECU and 55-60 after my other plays - but it's still not worth it because ECU only scores 10.
>Bryn: IX 2J XI +52 235
>Arie: AAOOPTY J10 YO +34 262
#note TOPAZ 4D looks like an improvement - AOY is pretty weak but there are multiple scoring spots for the Y available, and AAOPT isn't amazing either.

>Bryn: CDEV 3G C.VED +32 315
>Arie: AEGMOOT D4 OMEGA +33 359
#note This looks pretty good.

>Arie: BEIJOTY O8 JETO. +36 395
#note I liked JETON because I thought it was defensive - eliminates any O column bingos (unlike ENJOY, which still allows them) - and BIY is agood enough scoring leave that I should be able to continue to threaten 30ish scores.
>Bryn: HNTU 8A UNH.T +24 373
>Arie: BEILLTY 13L BEY +33 428
#note This wins a sim - narrowly, winning around 81% of the time. Other options are LIB C2 to block bingos through the N and LEY in the same spot, which keeps a more flexible leave at the expense of 6 points.
>Bryn: ?DEGLNS 1G ........D +30 403
>Arie: ?ILLNTV A7 V.LN +7 435
#note At least this is an out in two. Unfortunately it doesn't score much and blocks nothing - best sequence is LoTO 11L followed by LIVEN 6A.
>Bryn: AEFGLSU 15F ........ES +45 448
>Arie: ?ILT 11A sLIT +14 449
#note Obviously I should have challenged PARASHOTES for equity - but I needed to secure the win here
