>Sid: AEIMNRW 8G WIREMAN +76 76
#note This doesn't sim that far behind the 80 and 82 placements. Maybe worth it for defense, though I think the more overlappable placements have some defensive merit as well. Playing FIREMAN in this spot could hurt!
>Noah: AADIIIP K8 .IDI +14 14
#note I think I was considering PADI before seeing this. PIANI looks pretty good though. I don't think I saw it, and it's probably a better idea here. Post-PIANI board seems friendlier to me, and the leave+board looks much better for bingos. #uncertainrack
>Sid: AEEIORS 10J O.EA +7 83
#note Sid told me he had this rack.
>Noah: AAAACIP -AAAIP +0 14
#note I think I did see ACAPNIA here, but didn't take it very seriously. Also considered playing off AA. My sim has AA 7G top on win%, then my exchange, and then ACAPNIA, though ACAPNIA is second on valuation. I'm somewhat worried AA's not going to go good places for me a lot of the time. A play like JET 9F seems fairly bad for me after AA, though he can also hurt me with blocks after exchanging, and it may be often that he doesn't have great blocks after AA. I think the blockability of AA and exchanging points somewhat favorably toward ACAPNIA, which opens up the top a bit.
>Sid: AEIRSTU -U +0 83
#note I don't have this written down on my scoresheet, but the game doesn't make sense as written, and Sid confirms that he exchanged U keeping SATIRE in this game, so this seems right.
>Noah: ACDHOOR 7F COHO +25 39
#note Considered this and OHO. Maybe the exchange should tip me toward OHO, keeping a better leave in case he opens lanes, and opening good bingo spots to the left of row 6. It can backfire due to overlaps on row 6, but I don't think it's very common that OHO gives Sid a good play that COHO doesn't, at least after an exchange. The game record still feels weird to me, really -- I don't remember thinking about him having exchanged 1 one at all on this turn.
>Sid: AEIIRST 12F AIRIEST +74 157
>Noah: AADEORS H12 .OAD +15 54
>Sid: QT 14G Q.T +12 169
>Noah: ABEORSU 11E OBA +16 70
#note Don't think I saw OBA with BROAD, which is an option. SOBA may be nice for me, but the other OBA might have some openness advantages itself. #uncertainrack
>Sid: EILOPSX 13B OXLIP +35 204
#note Actual rack.
>Noah: EERSSTU D6 STREUSE. +74 144
>Sid: EEGN 9F GENE +24 228
>Noah: GHMNNTW B11 WH.M +24 168
#note #uncertainrack, but I think this is right. I think I remember considering GOWN keeping HMNT, and GEMOTE before Sid played, and this leave makes sense with what I remember for the next turn.
>Sid: AELV A8 VALE +26 254
>Noah: DEGNNOT J4 TENG. +19 187
#note Still, #uncertainrack.
>Sid: KY 5I K.Y +20 274
>Noah: DNNOPTU 15A UPON +36 223
#note #uncertainrack.
>Sid: OYZ 15H .OZY +19 293
>Noah: ?ADENTU 12A T.A. +26 249
#note #uncertainrack, but I remember him blocking DENUDATE here, so this makes sense.
>Sid: BCIRSU L2 CUBS +27 320
#note Sid was pretty disappointed that he didn't play BRUCIN, which he wasn't sure of, here.
>Noah: ?DEFLNU 2G FLoUN.ED +80 329
>Sid: AJR 1M RAJ +35 355
>Noah: EEFLRTV 1E FLEET +36 365
#note I think I mostly considered this play and fishes. It seems like I would need to fish two tiles opening a bingo line, and the fishes didn't look great to me. Not sure if I can do better than FLEET here. I'm guessing this wins with A? draw, I? draw, and nothing else, which isn't a very high bar, but the pickins' seem slim.
>Sid: DGIIINR 13L IRID +12 367
#note I think drawing A? was quite a rush for me.
>Noah: ?ARV E1 .AVoR +20 385
>Noah: (ING) +8 393
