>Joshua_Sokol: ?CEELNW 8K NEWEL +30 62
#note Thought I wanted to keep things contained here rather than prying them open with CLEWE(D) despite having the blank. I can operate on the post-NEWEL board with far more ease than an average range would for Ryan. This play is a lot better than CLEWE(D) despite very similar equity.

#note PER(V) is another option here at E3. Close according to ducky. I like this significantly more

#note this was really really really stupid. I starting looking from the TE, then my ADD told me to switch to the L in NEWEL since bingos there, despite scoring 3 fewer, severely reduce Ryan's bingo comebacks. I did not see stuff from the L after looking for a while. I then switched back to the other side of the board, and looked through the TE rather than from it, and didn't see anything. I counted up how much a play at 9B would score, and wondered if it was worth not giving back so much in the realm of floaters. Then I didn't even look from the TE again, seeing TEASELING moments after hitting my clock. TENAILLES is there too. It might be best despite floating an S there, because there aren't as many immediate floaters from doubling the L, bringing Ryan's chances of an immediate comeback down by around 10% from TEASELINg. There are also a lot of I's and N's, so that G on 15H is not super safe either. I probably would have played TEASELING if given the choice, which would still have been inaccurate, but this is a huge mistake. #findinglarge

>Joshua_Sokol: ALORSSU 15L OSAR +33 324
#note Never even thought about WUSS, using both S's for a far more balanced situation next turn and scoring extra points. That looks like it might be right. Holding an S has a ton of value to counter Ryan if he has an S, but not too much on this board. The pool is so imbalanced that holding ALOR, despite risking O duplication or triplication, is just a much better outcome than keeping LUS usually. #findingsmall

#note this is now really bad again. It's this or 14F DUI I think, I think the scoring route has to be my best chance at complication.
>Ryan_Chepita: IN F9 .NI +19 372
>Joshua_Sokol: BINOSSU 2G SUBSONI. +64 412
#note I don't think I can express how much of a bad beat this was for Ryan, who had unbeknownst to me at the time lost all 5 of his first games. I had less than a 1/200 chance of drawing into a bingo after my play of BIELD. This was the only possible bingo draw with my leave of ISU, and one of only a handful of possibilities in the entire tile pool. Completely ridiculous and unmerited. Ryan deserved the sportsmanship prize for the way he handled this situation, congratulating me on the play and the game.
