#note Rd 4 Philly virtual 9-12-2021. I did not know GInGELI, the only bingo there is in this rack.

#note Connie's pass was certainly interesting, so naturally I took some time to see what it is she could really have. Could it be a high probability bingo that doesn't play but has many 8s involved? Maybe a dead rack like AEIORST or AEINORT that I didn't give her a good floater for? Here's one sure thing: I couldn't put her at IORSTUV because that's compatible with any vowel (VIRTUOSA, VIRTUOSE/VITREOUS, VIRTUOSI, VIRTUOSO, and VIRTUOUS) and she would have already played VIRTUOSI in this case. If she had any sort of -ING bingo, I can't imagine she was keeping any of the JQXZ on her rack as those can kill many of those kinds of bingoes as well as some other ones. My gut feeling was that she had some sort of high probability rack that was a dead rack without an S, or a high probability bingo that didn't play, otherwise she would have exchanged like 1 tile. Because of what I perceived her range to possibly be, I chose to make a move that allows me to hook things with my blank and basically fork because of her lack of an S and possibly a lack of a D. Here comes the possibility of SWAGE, WAGED, WAGER, etc. for me on future turns while she doesn't have great floaters in the I and W to work with.
On the other hand, one could argue that because Connie might have a bingo ending with an R in her range if it was a bingo that didn't play, maybe J6 WA(G) is better giving Connie back less, but giving me a less optimal AEIL? leave. Exchanging AW or AIW is also reasonable if one might think simply because Connie demonstrated that the rack wasn't worth playing thru.
>parteegirl: AEILNTU K3 LUNET +17 17
#note Turns out, she had the unplayable ALUNITE and somewhat had what I thought she had. I would have exchanged U on the last turn and this turn too.
>skaplan31: ?AEILOX 3K .OX +20 46
#note Wasn't sure if J1 AXE was worth it here tho.
>parteegirl: ?AHIIMS K9 HAIMISh +77 94
#note Very nice find on Connie's end. Also playable are sASHIMI, MAIdISH, and cHIASMI.
>skaplan31: ?AEFILN 12F INFLA.Ed +82 128
#note Spent time looking for 3x3s, none existed. I did not see the only Row 15 bingo FElLA(h)IN, but a blank H in the 4th position didn't seem too dangerous. My play, rIFLE(M)AN, INFLA(M)Es, and INFLA(M)Er are all fine.
>parteegirl: EEHRTUY 2L HEY +32 126
#note This or 2L YEH are fine.
>skaplan31: ACILOTZ 15G ZILC. +45 173
>parteegirl: DDEORTU 1L TROD +40 166
#note 10G OUTD(A)RED does play for 82.
>skaplan31: AAENORT F7 AERAT.ON +62 235
#note If Connie had seen OUTDARED, this bingo doesn't play at either F7 or H3. On the other hand, E4 AERONA(U)T got blocked. Still, got lucky.
>parteegirl: CDEINSU G1 INCUDES +67 233
#note E1 INCUSED does play for 73.
>skaplan31: BDJOORT 1F J.RD +36 271
#note 1F JIB does sim better most likely because I can keep my D and R hooks for WAGED/WAGER and have an emergency scoring option. #visionlarge
>parteegirl: ADEEIRS 10J R.ID +18 251
#note None of us thought of 12D RE(INFLAMEd) this game. That's really nice for her.
>skaplan31: BIMOOTY E4 BOOTY +28 299
#note E5 TOMBOY #findingsad
>parteegirl: AEEEGQS I6 EG. +19 270
>skaplan31: IIKMOUW D8 KOI +27 326
#note I don't keep as well, but I don't give back as much. KIWI could still give up QAT, and I could still give up big 12A plays.
>parteegirl: AAEEOQS 10C Q. +11 281
#note I'm relieved she did this.
>skaplan31: EIMPRUW C10 .UIP +30 356
#note Mhm
>parteegirl: AAEEOSU -AEO +0 281
#note I think 14A EAU would have put a lot of pressure on me here. I really like that move at this score.
>skaplan31: BEFMRVW 13J W.FE +32 388
#note Since I can't really do much about the RAIDS hook, I gotta outrun again.
>parteegirl: AAEESUV 14A VAU +28 309
>skaplan31: BEMNRTV 12A BR.M +22 410
#note I can once again do a better job outrunning Column N bingoes with this over VIM.
>parteegirl: AAEELRS D2 REAL +18 327
>skaplan31: ENOPSTV C1 VENT +25 435
#note Wasn't seeing a way to guarantee myself an out bingo- by fishing off the V with M12 (dE)V, I only have 1 place to bingo out, and that's Column N which Connie will block, even though I didn't see see any playable 7s for her.
>parteegirl: AAEENOS A11 A.O.E +30 357
#note Good spread cutting on her part.
>skaplan31: OPST B2 POST +31 466
#note Easily the best out play on my end too. 3-1 now.
