>skaplan31: ACFGLPW 8E GAWP +20 20
#note Rd 5 Philly virtual 11-28-2021. Is there a mistake with good common practices, aka a GCP FLAW in this move?
>TheBigEZ: AAEHHJL 9F HEAL +24 24
>skaplan31: CFLLNQR -CFLLNQR +0 20
#note Could have also kept CR or CN, but nothing was really worth it here.
>TheBigEZ: AEGHIJO 10H HAJI +40 64
#note Nice play.
>skaplan31: ADENWYY K9 W.NDY +24 44
>TheBigEZ: EEGNOSU L10 SUE +29 93
#note This looks fine for immediate defense, and I also support 11I GO(N)E if he wanted to go more aggressive. This sims well ahead of GO(N)E due to the board shape it creates not leaving me with a whole lot to use, in part because of PAHS*.
>skaplan31: AEGIPRY 7D GAY +19 63
#note Since SUE was played quickly, I really thought he kept nicely. Still shouldn't have passed up M11 GYP for 10 more due to OPAH still being present with 8 Os left.. #strategylarge
>TheBigEZ: ?EGLMNO M11 GLOM +22 115
#note The only bingo which I did not know is 13D MENoLOG(Y) for 62. It does not mean the study of men, and don't try WOMENOLOGY*.
>skaplan31: EFIPRSX 15H FIXERS +59 122
#note 20 extra points with this over N13 FIX seemed worth it to me, and the sim does like this slightly over N13 FIX which I also saw and considered. N11 SIXER would have been a nice overlap to make a particularly bad board and keep the clunkier FP combo.
>TheBigEZ: ?ABDEIN 6E BANDIEs +81 196
#note Or BANDIEd, BAsINED, etc. Looks fine.
>skaplan31: EOOPRST N6 POOREST +77 199
#note I definitely didn't love my options with how much each placement of POOREST or STOOPER gave back. It's hard to say which is really better knowing he's random and could have just as easily drawn crap after his bingo. I didn't mind this too much with Row 14 being easy to hit, but Quackle does put 5I about .4-.5% ahead in the sim.
>TheBigEZ: INNRRUZ K1 INRUN. +10 206
#note He took some time before doing this which led me to believe he wasn't keeping a scoring tile too often, otherwise he would have already hit me on Column O. Doing this at M3 would have been 9 more for him.
>skaplan31: ?DEEFLO M2 EyEFOLD +82 281
#note Yep. Glad to have found this one, and it does easily beat out M1 FEEDLOt, 4G bEFO(U)LED, and 3F FLOwE(R)ED.
>TheBigEZ: IIORRTZ 1H ZOR. +39 245
#note Looks fine to me to give himself a better chance of drawing plays on Column O ending in -RT at O8.
>skaplan31: LORSTUV 4H VOL.T. +26 307
#note Best play.
>TheBigEZ: AAEIIRT 5G AI +11 256
>skaplan31: IKNORSU O12 SUNK +34 341
#note While this wasn't terrible in the initial valuation, I can classify this as a strategy error because Quackle actually wants me to make the more scared play of O7 ON or OR to force him to take Row 14 with his likely bingo. That's basically as easy to hit at Column O.
>TheBigEZ: AEINRTT O1 INTREAT +82 338
#note I'm lucky he missed O2 NITRATE for 12 more. He would have had 3C TERTIAN or INTREAT for 79 if I had blocked this.
>skaplan31: CIIORTT 14D TRICOT +17 358
#note That's pretty surprising how I win 9% more often after 14F TOIT than this. I gotta be concerned about having a spot to play the Q after all, right? It does offer more back to him by placing the T in a more accessible spot for scoring after all.
>TheBigEZ: AABEIOQ 13C QI +24 362
>skaplan31: DEEIMUV 12D DEVI +24 382
#note This is 1 of only 2 plays that give me a 100% win, with DIVE being the other.
>TheBigEZ: AABCEEO 3G CABE. +32 394
#note Nice play.
>skaplan31: EMU 14M .U. +10 392
#note This, however, is where I should have lost this game. I thought there was only 1 spot to play the U, but 8L UDO is the other one. So 11D EM should have come down first. #endgamelarge
>TheBigEZ: AEO 15C OE +9 403
#note 15D AE for 2 more would have been his only way of stealing this one!
>skaplan31: EM E10 EM. +10 402
#note Or O9 EM. Neither one of us really deserved to win this one based on how badly we both played this endgame. I also should have lost because he missed NITRATE for 12 more when he did INTREAT. Well, I needed this one based on how badly game 4 went in this tourney.
