>Will: GNOOPST 9H PO +12 12
#note Sims well, close with GONZO, which makes a nice sevens line off of the second O - if Mike plays there I will often get a new S hook anyway (though not with OF, OK, OW, OX, OY)

>Mike: GM 14L G.M +18 86
>Will: BEEMOOQ 4K BOOM +32 154
#note Certainly not thrilled with this, but felt like a lot of equity to give up. I should still probably do MOO or BOO instead.
>Mike: CDO 3M COD +26 112
>Will: EEEKNOQ N6 KEEN +22 176
#note Maybe an overreaction to GYM, which looked very very strong. UPS is still available for bingos, and I'm giving up a lot to block GYMS over something normal like 6L EEK, which, in fact, I did not generate as an option here.
>Mike: ITY O1 TI.Y +52 164
>Will: AAEEOQU 7C AQUAE +22 198
#note Another play I hated...didn't like 13I EQUATE making not only another S hook, but AGE/AGA/AGO hooks as well. 6I ALOE is another choice, keeping AEQU together and hoping for something nice. I don't mind AQUAE too much.

#note Or O7 HE, 8A HOE

>Will: EEHILOO 15H HELIO +31 255
>Mike: ABDR 2A BRA.D +16 236
>Will: EHIOUVW 8A VOW +32 287
#note VOW sims a couple points behind HOW in the same spot, because the normally uglier EIUV is good here because of all the JIVE plays I can draw. But the top option appears to be L9 WITH, which scores even better, retains the V to continue to draw for JIVED plays, and also draws into a surprising array of other good things to EOUV, including A1 ABOVE, JOULE, A2 BOUVIER, 8A VOX...

>Will: ?AEGHIU 1D .EHAdI +48 335
#note So this is a big mistake, unfortunately. There are just too many racks Mike can have that I can't beat without a bingo of my own, so I need to be going for a bingo here. JEHADI can't beat IBEX, it can't beat 10B bingos hooking UPS. I suppose I have to do something like 15A UGH and hope for the best. Quackle also likes C10 AGUISH, which looks kinda weird, but I'm guessing the benefit there is blocking UPS since I don't currently have an S, while often drawing into something from the V of VOW once I fill up with something like EIRS?
>Mike: EIX A1 I.EX +63 369
>Will: EFGILOU K10 F.G +12 347
#note I think I was in some trouble here given Mike's holdings, but still, maybe I could've won this one as well.
>Mike: ADLRRSS 3C R.S +14 383
>Will: EIIILOU 13A LIEU +16 363
#note 13L ETUI slightly better.
