>Hercules: AAFRTUY 8D YURTA +24 24
#note Rd 3 Philly virtual 7-1-2021. Looks fine to me along with 8H TRAYF and 8H TURFY. I like YURTA best of these options.
>skaplan31: ?EIIOVW D4 VIEW. +28 28
#note Easily best.
>Hercules: ACEFJRU F6 JU.A +27 51
#note Again, couple nice options here. 5B JUICE and 5B JUICER score similarly, but this is more sound. F8 RAJ is also a very aggressive move that could be made if he was in a position where he needed to make up spread. But he doesn't need that. I like this play too, it does keep nicer.
>skaplan31: ?EIINOT 10C EdITION +72 100
#note I did see and consider 10A NIObITE and 10A INOsITE as well as this, but I also gotta make the safer moves myself just like John. I'm sure John will see the SEDITION hook on this, and the sim does put my win% about 2.5% higher with this over the other 7s.
>Hercules: CEFGINR 11C REF +25 76
>skaplan31: EEILOTU H10 .UTLIE +21 121
#note Looks like the best play.
>Hercules: ACEGINZ 13H .AZING +34 110
#note 12A ZINE does play for 53 here.
>skaplan31: BENORVW 12A BREW +37 158
#note Ack, missed the BLAZING hook on this turn, although I would see it later. If I'm not gonna see that, maybe it's better to ditch the V with VERB in this spot. #findingsmall
>Hercules: CEFGIUX 9A GIF +22 132
#note Interesting call to block the SEDITION hook, it's definitely understandable with 4 Ss left. I would have left that open knowing Ss go on both sides of EDITION and gone with L11 FUNGI.
>skaplan31: HINORVY A5 VYIN. +36 194
#note Finally I ditched the V. Looks good.
>Hercules: CCDEGUX K10 DUC. +14 146
#note Yucky rack for him, doesn't look like anything scores that well here. 13E DEG(LAZING) would have been a very cool extension. But this new line will be annoying for me to block.
>skaplan31: HMNNOOR C5 MHO +24 218
#note I did not see G8 THIN for 2 less, but I like this play anyway with 5 Os left.
>Hercules: AACEGPX L6 AGAPE +12 158
#note G13 GAP would have been nice here. He can always open up the right side of the board on a future turn, and he can always save the X for 12K COAX for a nice score if he can't open up just yet. But I will have a hard time closing the right side down now.
>skaplan31: ENNOORS M9 ON +12 230
>Hercules: ACEEORX M3 COAX +35 193
>skaplan31: AEENORS A12 .ONE +18 248
#note Wasn't a fan of N9 OE. I'll stay safe.
>Hercules: EEHOQRT K4 HER +22 215
>skaplan31: AAAEKRS J2 KAE +22 270
>Hercules: EOOQSTT 8K Q.T +15 230
#note Mhm
>skaplan31: AAPRRSS 14F PA.R +14 284
#note I did not know 14F PAISA, which would have blocked many more bingoes. #knowledgemedium
>Hercules: EEIOOST 6F .OE +10 240
#note I might have considered N9 OE as aggressive as that might be at this score. The pool is reasonably nice from his perspective.
>skaplan31: ADELRSS N8 SLED +32 316
#note This was done in order to prevent John from being able to easily open up Column O. And it's many more points than simply fishing off an S.
>Hercules: DEINOST 3H OD. +6 246
#note And he opened up something else, but much less dangerous. Nice move on his end.
>skaplan31: ABLLRSS H3 .RL. +5 321
#note At least I can take out the easy lane and hang onto the B for G13 plays.
>Hercules: ?DEINST 15G D.STINEd +65 311
#note Looks like John has to bingo now. I'm not sure why Quackle doesn't want him to as I can just eliminate Row 15. Meanwhile, a sick disconnected 9 that plays is 15A (E)vENTID(E)S for 70. It wouldn't be enough to win a lot of the time, but I would give anyone props if they saw it.
>skaplan31: ABILOSS 13G B...... +31 352
#note And good thing I determined correctly that he doesn't have any out plays. Otherwise, I would have addressed that while hanging onto the B.
>Hercules: MT 5C ..M +14 325
#note Best for him.
>skaplan31: AILOSS O10 SOILS +15 367
#note Or SOLAS or SAILS in the same spot. They all do the job.
>Hercules: T 15A .T +2 327
#note Or 5M AT.
Granted, John could have hit other things on Row 15 like ESSONITE on Row 15 as well, so maybe outrunning would have been OK, but there was nothing he really could have done to stop me from scoring with the all-important B here. I did benefit from him missing LAZING hooks in the end. However, if I had known and seen PAISA when I did PAIR, I would have easily won by more.
>Hercules: (A) +2 329
