>judyr: EFORTUV - +0 0
#note Rd 1 Philly virtual 9-12-2021. I'm 1st.
>skaplan31: DEEELNS 8G NEEDLES +68 68
>judyr: EFORTUV K8 .OUVRE +18 18
#note I do like how open this is to keep things available long term, but EORTV is a nice leave on this board after J6 FU(D). It's not a huge point sacrifice, and FU(D) doesn't necessarily allow me to close the board down so easily.
>skaplan31: DEHIPPW 14E WHIPPED +89 157
#note One of the lowest probability natural bingoes I can ever recall drawing.
>judyr: FGKRTTX L7 T.XT +22 40
#note I like this better at 13J for 2 more.
>skaplan31: BIMOTUZ 13B UMBO +21 178
#note Too aggressive and open here...M3 ZOMBIS is fine to score, but 7G UMBO is also better score, more defensive, and does just as good a job of saving scoring potential. #findingmedium
>judyr: EFGKRRU B10 FUG.E +34 74
#note Looks good.
>skaplan31: AIIILTZ 15E LITAI +44 222
#note I did see A7 ZITI at first, but when I can score the same AND save the Z, I like that better.
>judyr: DEKNRRR 13K .RR +6 80
>skaplan31: DEEEIOZ A7 DOZE +47 269
#note I did feel comfortable outrunning more with this over A8 ZEE and 12I ZE(R)OED at this score.
>judyr: CDEKNNR 11A N.KED +35 115
>skaplan31: AEEINUY 7H AYE +24 293
#note Too scared this time... M4 UNEA(S)Y is fine. #findinglarge
>judyr: ACNNRSY 6H NARC +23 138
>skaplan31: CEIIINU 12G ICIE. +10 303
#note It is preferable to play thru this rack over exchanging, although exchanging down to CEN or CEIN doesn't sim too far back. 12H INU(R)E does score 6 more but I honestly didn't love the prospect of keeping CII here. I probably should have gone with INURE, nothing is really that good here. #strategysmall
>judyr: ELNOSSY M6 NO.Y +32 170
#note I did not see the NEEDLESS hook all game and neither did Judy. Still, I am rightfully punished here by not seeing UNEASY when I did AYE.
>skaplan31: IIJMNNU 10J J.. +26 329
#note Definitely wasn't willing to open up good counterplay with J2 INJU(RED), N5 JUN or N6 UM. I'm still trying to outrun at this score. I definitely don't like keeping the J here.
>judyr: ?AELOSS B2 ALdOSES +71 241
#note And this is where the NEEDLESS hook comes into play for Judy! ALdOSES is a nice find in general, but LAsSOES and SALvOES do play at N2 for 82 each. Choosing between those 2, I would choose LAsSOES if I was in her shoes to allow for a potential reparalleling play on Column 15.
>skaplan31: IIMNNTU 5A I.NIUM +16 345
#note There we go.
>judyr: ?EFGOSV C7 VEG +27 268
#note Post mortem, I did see D1 FOrG(I)VES for her. That would have really helped her here.
>skaplan31: AABHNTT 10D BAHT +24 369
#note It's unfortunate that D2 HAB(I)TANT got blocked. All I can do is outrun the best I can.
>judyr: ?AFIOOS 4E mAFIOSO +65 333
#note Same bingo does play 1 spot over for 14 more. Still, excellent find and only bingo for her.
>skaplan31: ALNQRRT 3K TRANQ +30 399
#note I can still get rid of the Q and win, but I wouldn't be able to cut as much spread if MAFIOSO had been played 1 spot to the right. Easily best because I have LAR in 2 spots.
>judyr: AAGIOTW C1 TWA +21 354
#note Knowing I have M2 LAR, 3F GOAT will net her 2 more spread points.
>skaplan31: LR M2 L.R +3 402
#note I could have not gone out with K3 (TO)R(C), but she counters nicely.
My placement of UMBO was too aggressive despite the seemingly large lead, but luckily I got to hang onto the Z for 2 nice scoring plays in a row. I got lucky in the end to get to play TRANQ, which shouldn't have been allowed. Could have been better played on a couple turns as well as seeing the NEEDLESS hook.
