#note I was remarkably close to playing an APRT word out of fear of his range! Thankfully I realized later on that his range is quite wide given the dearth of options on the board - exchanging may be scary when he has AERST and whatnot, ripe for a 2x2, but he rarely has such a good leave. And even then, it's good to shed the Q for a comeback bingo. EILNO, which he had, makes a lot of sense (or something like that)

#note DEfL(ORATIONS) plays! I think that's the call here to get in range and save the S for the S lanes.

#note setting up ZOO for after. I'm not tooo worried about getting Q stuck at this point, especially if I get points for the Z.

#note I think this is the call here, mainly to block bingoes and keep outscoring. Exchanging is a decent idea too just cause the pool isn't that worrisome for bingoes. I also considered (A)H to leave the I for FAQIR draws and to set up QI (which would be devastating cause there are no Ss out). I figured B column bingoes were more likely than L column bingoes, since he has to end with N or T and there are IIINNN out for ING words. Q confirms, exchanging lets him bingo 4.5% (w/o range), JIG 2.3%, and AH 3.2%. This sets up QI, which isn't the main goal of the play, but is a nice bonus. I think the value of setting up the Q is that he now needs to make an annoying low scoring block of it later. I don't expect to play QI next turn, since I expect him to open another part of the board that I will want to block.

>Jackson: DEHILQT D8 HE +28 336
#note I think HILTED is the play here. It sets up a second Q spot and leaves 5 in the bag, both of which are preferable to HE (leaving 1 Q spot and leaving 9 in the bag). HILTED outruns plays from the FA more consistently, since those plays will empty the bag, and since I can get stuff like c2 QAT. HE can get outrun by FA plays, even if not consistently. Leaving DILQT is also worse than Q, since I can run into gross racks like DILNNQT more often that don't have as much blocking flexibility. I also think leaving 5 in the bag is better than 9, since that will only give him 1 turn to fish into hitting a marginal lane. Leaving 9 in the bag, I'm possibly not able to empty the bag the following turn, so he may get 2 chances to fish.

#note super baddddd. I laid down NTH at first, and never saw SIGNA. I changed it to THIN for really no real reason, it set up another possible QI spot and scored a few more, but I really didn't see much of a difference. NTH is far better given SIGNA cause he can't bingo with 3 consecutive vowels
