#note Excited to finally play the ex-GOAT. FORKY Y on the star wins a sim, but I wonder how often it's having Brian hand me a cheap X bomb with RE or other overlaps. FORKY F on the star was tempting for the setup, but it doesn't work too often. However, the Y placement does encourage plays on the 12 row, so maybe it's worth it. I felt FOXY was the standard play, but it loses a sim to FORKY by about 5 points. I'm surprised, I felt like both FORKYs wouldn't really work out with the X-bomb-bingo plan, but I might be wrong.

#note A ton of reasonable options here. Firstly I could play CINQS for 41, which is a play I would make against certain opponents. Against Brian, I prefer the higher valuation-higher risk exchange options. Even within the exchanges, which are all reasonable against almost any opponent, I preferred CKRS? because it is high valuation but high risk, which is something I don't mind against Brian. RS?, CRS?, CKRS?, and CKS? all sim extremely close together, with CKRS? having the highest valuation. I think this was a good decision, although the sim might slightly overvalue it if it has Brian making open plays giving me vowels, in which case something like CKS? or CRS? are slightly better for hitting J column bingoes more often.

#note actual rack. I'm glad I didn't play CINQS, cause he would have had GUITGUIT. I agree with his decision to exchange here

#note I wasn't sure of CALKERS here, which is handily better than this
>Brian_Cappelletto: ?EEEIST 5G gEE.IEST +72 101
#note I think I'd do REEKIEST instead for a slightly more open left side

#note AM scores more than EM. I was kinda surprised, but I guess the M is equally helpful for the 1L spot but also the 4 row

#note I think this was a bit too cute, FLUB is better. FUND was tempting cause the D isn't as dangerous as the B in the O column, but the extra points and leave are just helpful directly. Part of the thinking with FUB was that N column bingoes are less dangerous than O column bingoes, but N column bingoes still open a lot of lanes even more than O column bingoes since the tiles are more exposed, and at least slightly inhibit the setup. If my rack was better, keeping SWING or SLANK or something, I think FUB is definitely worth it, but too often I just draw consonants and don't even hit the setup hard. I think this is a smallish error
