#note FFIN just isn't that good here, and I probably can just play PLOT next turn, if not better, whereas VIFF is about as good as FF gets here. #strategymedium

#note I know this isn't GTO but I just don't want to do zori/zaire here: it just feels too bad and makes plays too easy. Maybe an error but still not what to do given this situation.

#note Quackle feels pretty strongly about BIPED. My feeling was I really needed the R for a9, but Quackle doesn't agree. #strategymedium

#note I really need the lane here, as the R is getting blocked without this every time. Still is probably getting blocked but I can shoot at the T and at least have a shot.

#note *sigh* this is just so bad. Look, I get why I did this. Jim's panicking, clearly: he has two minutes on his clock, is furiously tracking, and if I'm going to take advantage of that I have to move, now. And I really have no legitimate winning chances here: I'm obviously just screwed so I gotta move. That being said, this sucks. The problem is that I didn't generate any legitimate options fast enough. The play here is probably either VINAL or VENAL, and force Jim to know what does and doesn't take an S hook. Even NAIL has some chances here. This has none, and while it might cut spread, only if he doesn't challenge. I honestly generated none of these plays here, figured that NIDE or NAE would never work, and panicked. That being said, there really is going to be a what-if here, because this game very much is the time of game that felt stealable and I felt like I left him off the hook by doing this for no good reason other than to win via time-rush panic. Would really like to know if VINAL or VENAL would've worked (especially VINAL), as it turned out the S was in the bag.
