#note Sims best.

>Stefan_Kac: ?BIKOOO G10 BOOK +21 104
#note Tough position here, at least for me. I'm never even going to see the BOOKI(E) plays because I want a bingo-or-nothing board and those plays give back too much of the short parallel variety. I guess L1 KI(N)O is fine, but I def prefer IO? over OOB? here and I'm fine playing the long game holding a blank on an open board. Sim has this as a 2-3 point mistake, but I don't think so.

#note Sims best by a lot.
>Jon_Demeter: AIJ H13 AJI +36 201
>Stefan_Kac: ?DEHOOR F12 DOH +25 153
#note I used to know cHOREO(I)D/OcHERO(I)D. When I don't see anything right away I decide not to look too hard. Sim says this is only a few points worse than playing the 65-pointer now.

>Stefan_Kac: CIIINRT F4 .IC +13 258
#note I can't find CITRINI(N), and the non-bingo options are very poor. Sim wants 7D RICI(N). I'm not sure PIC is so much worse, but it's def not good. I got lucky with opp not being able to make me pay.
>Jon_Demeter: EILO 6B OLEI. +9 266
>Stefan_Kac: IINRTWZ N7 RITZ +36 294
>Jon_Demeter: EMU E10 EMU +14 280
>Stefan_Kac: BEINNTW 7A TWIN +18 312
#note If there are tricks for distinguishing an opp in rack trouble from an opp who is close to a bingo, then I have not learned them. I see 3E NEW but decide I really want+need to block. But there aren't any total blocks available, so this quite-a-bit-less-than-total option will have to do. Just WIN is really tempting but that's a bit too bold even for me.
>Jon_Demeter: AAAA -AAAA +0 280
>Stefan_Kac: ABELMNQ 8A ALB +32 344
#note Q finds (JO)BNAME. Also BALM or LAMB alongside EMU. But I think I should clean up the mess I've made, so this comes down very quickly.
>Jon_Demeter: EPRR E3 R.P.ER +32 312
>Stefan_Kac: AEIMNQW 3E .EM +23 367
#note Taking points over synchrony and bag tempo here. Playing longer would better chase the UUs, but also increases the chances of getting stuck. A four-ply sim prefers 10K WIN(Z)E, which I don't really follow. The available Q plays sim very poorly.
