>Joey_Krafchick: ERZ H13 REZ +38 60
>Jackson: ?DIITTV G12 VID +15 29
#note I think it's this VID or LIVID. I like LIVID more than REV/VID cause it is more bingo-open for my blank. I think this VID is good, and I'm happy with the choice, to keep things really closed for scoring, baiting him to open something up.

#note idk his rack but he said he kept QU

>Jackson: AADHISY L9 YA.D +16 119
#note missed ZAIDY, which is definitely the best play. I think YAUD might be second best, I kinda like how it opens the K and M column, but ZAIDY is definitely better.

>Joey_Krafchick: AFLP N3 FLAP +25 249
>Jackson: ADELNOT O4 ATONED +34 223
#note ANODE is also okay, no Ts out as well so LT is pretty good, but I think ATONED is a bit better
>Joey_Krafchick: BBEMMNS 4H BE.MS +24 273
#note actual rack
>Jackson: AELNOUW 3I W.O +26 249
#note I felt AELNU was worth keeping over ELNU since I want to hit the 5 row, which requires a vowel to end the word. I bingo around 20% vs. 15% after WHOA. I think this is worth it, though the extra 3 points are totally fine as well
>Joey_Krafchick: BO M2 BO +18 291
>Jackson: AAELNRU 5E AURA +12 261
#note I can see doing LAURA or RANULA here as well. I liked AURA cause it's not super easy to block overlapping the AU without sacrificing a lot of points, and maybe I can edge my way back into the game with scoring. However, RANULA and LAURA are nice to reach for the blank and S. I'm not sure which one is best, a sim isn't very helpful here.
>Joey_Krafchick: EEM 6E EME +25 316
>Jackson: EEGLNSX 8F EX... +12 273
#note Really tough call here, and nothing is very inspiring. I was close to playing SEX/SEME, since EGLN hits a fair amount, and I threaten outrunning him, and the S isn't particularly useful on this board. I went for EXITS siimlarly to go all in on bingoing, keeping the SEME hook, possibly refishing with the S later. I felt the S would be useful down the line. I didn't see LEXEME, but that lets him block on the C column killing basically all my bingo chances. I could do 4A LEXES to go all in on drawing the blank, or hoping he doesn't have a good overlap there, but I find it hard to see that working out so well. I think I like EXITS or SEX best, but I could be convinced.
>Joey_Krafchick: ?AEHINR 12K I. +14 330
>Jackson: CEGLNRS 4B CLEG +18 291
#note Didn't see CLEF here at the bottom right, I think that is better to go all in on bingoing. The E is huge here. 4A or 4B CLEGS are also decent, cause after CLEG he often blocks the SEME hook. It's a tough position, and CLEG at least has the advantage of staying better in bingo range than CLEF, so I think it's close.
>Joey_Krafchick: ?AEHNRR 9D LANU.. +20 350
>Joey_Krafchick: ?AEHNRR -- -20 330
>Jackson: NNNOORS B4 .ONN +8 299
#note EGHIIRRY? is split within his rack and the bag. I thought he could easily have a blank with QI, but it really is no guarantee, so it could easily be in the bag. Especially since he didn't have a bingo with LANUGI, and he apparently has a bingo about 2/3 of the time if he has a blank with LANUGI. I didn't think about that aspect over the board, which might have led me to play CONNOR instead of CONN, to go all in on the blank. In a sim, I bingo almost exactly the same amount after CONN and CONNOR. It's not clear which play allows him to be more defensive, and I think it might be CONN, since he can make NU if I don't have the G, but CONNOR can allow him to make some 8a plays that don't give back good lanes. Even though CONNOR might draw the blank a bit more often than usual since its on his rack less often than usual, I think CONN is probably the play just cause he can outrun bingoes occasionally after CONNOR

#note dumb play, spread started mattering at this point in the tournament and I was well over 90% sure this was phony
