>skaplan31: EEIMMNR - +0 0
#note Rd 2 Philly virtual 2-4-2021. I'm 2nd.
>mahomes: DFHINOV 8G FOHN +20 20
#note Looks fine to me.
>skaplan31: EEIMMNR 9I ME +19 19
#note Did not know 9G EMMER or 9F MERMEN. Was hoping that David would easily hook ME for something to open the board up for me. He just wasn't having it. I do set up HMM too. Maybe a better way to make him open up was to do 7F MIME, but I'm not sure he would do that even after that. So I'm just gonna help myself here.
>mahomes: ACDGIOV 7F VOG +17 37
#note In typical David Poder fashion, he blocked my bingo and made the top left harder to access.
>skaplan31: DEIIMNR K9 MIRID +23 42
#note Setting up MEME and playing it my way.
>mahomes: ACDHIOZ 6H ADZ +37 74
#note Surprisingly he missed 13I ZODIAC for 56.
>skaplan31: BENTUWY 10J W.NEY +41 83
#note Best play.
>mahomes: CGHIOQR M9 H.ROIC +30 104
#note Interesting call to not do QI J12.
>skaplan31: BBDFITU J12 BIB +20 103
#note Gotta give myself scoring flexibility with my F next turn with this over 9E DIF.
>mahomes: EEGIOQU K3 OGEE +24 128
#note Looks fine to me.
>skaplan31: ADFITUY 4K .AUDY +28 131
#note 4H FUDGY is clearly better now though which I did miss. #findingmedium
>mahomes: AEGILQU O1 QUA. +48 176
#note Only he's capable of going from keeping GQ as a leave to being in a decent position to bingo.
>skaplan31: AFIORTX I12 OF +25 156
#note Ok Quackle, are you kidding me? I13 FAX is the worst possible move to make, especially against David. This or M2 FAUX are fine. I decided that if I draw nicely, I can always fish off the X next turn and then bingo the turn after that. And, this creates another bingo line.
>mahomes: AEGILNR 3E GERANI.L +63 239
#note He missed 15D NARGILE for 85 here.
>skaplan31: ACIKRTX 2H TAX +55 211
#note This or TIX are fine in this spot. Good thing I could make him pay for not seeing 15D NARGILE.
>mahomes: LOOPSST H2 ..O +4 243
#note Not sure what he's trying to accomplish here...
>skaplan31: ACIKLRS 15F LICKS +41 252
#note I kinda have to take this spot out now that he fished.
>mahomes: ELOPSST E9 TOPLESS +80 323
#note How does one make a completely suboptimal play which is clearly a scared play and then draw this? I don't understand anything.
>skaplan31: AAEILPR 2A EARLAP +41 293
#note Clearly not blocking any lanes in TOPLESS after I need to bingo now. Highest scoring play available.
>mahomes: ?EIJTTV A1 J.T +30 353
#note This is fine, and I don't know if he saw the QUAYSIDE extension this game.
>skaplan31: EEEINRT N9 E.E +13 306
#note Maybe just A1 JETE is fine. This play just gives back too much and allows him to eliminate QUAYSIDE.
>mahomes: ?EITUVW O6 VIEW +39 392
#note That's why.
>skaplan31: ADEINRT D4 TRAINED +73 379
#note This is where I am gonna be screwed a lot of the time. I am forced to empty the bag by bingoing, and I just need to hope that David has crap on his rack. Unless he has UU or any unplayable 8s, and the blanks are in the bag, I'm not winning this game. While DETRAIN might normally be more defensive with this pool than TRAINED or ANTIRED (1 O remaining vs 1 A and 2 Us), the 2 blanks that are left do render making the more defensive play kinda pointless. I can only hope that he can't bingo out.
>mahomes: ?IORSTU C9 TURkOIS +72 464
#note And of course the odds were against me because he had a nice rack. This is a nice find and there was nothing I could do in the end.
I do admit that N9 EYE wasn't a great play as he did hit me hard in response and blocked QUAYSIDE as a result. But I can't think of another player that would make a play as scared as TAO and then bingo the very next turn. That's just absurd.
