Game 5
Sim wants basically anything two spots to the right of this, and by a large margin. Opp's rack is fairly random after playing five, so it's tough to argue. Not sure why I was feeling so timid here. I really didn't want to fork and/or give back easy lanes. Perhaps the new hotspot gets hit more often than I thought...and it does get hit here.

#note Sim likes this, probably for totally different reasons than I did. Opp's rack must be getting good by now, and the board is not going to close up, so I'm leaning into the volatility and scoring maximally. 13G H(A)H leaving EILRT now looks much more appealing. Multiplying lanes endlessly is usually poor strategy, and it was poor strategy here. There is probably still going to be a place for my bingo after HAH even without making a new one. But also, sim has us bingoing 20% after HITHER vs. 14% for HAH. That's pretty weird.

#note (V)IDEO in the DEBARK spot is the star play. There are too many lanes right now and I should pick something that closes one and leaves two.

#note Greedy and complacent. Given this ugly pool it was hard to say in the moment whether row four or thirteen was the greater threat. Sim likes 4F CURF a bit better than ACCRUED, so perhaps that answers the question.
