>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BEEEOTW H6 EWE +12 12
#note lots of stuff is really close here. ETWEE, EEEW, EWE. Still not sure, but this didn't seem quite right. ETWEE wins a sim by around 2 points. #questionable
>Jackson_Smylie: ADGIKLN 7F DA.K +18 18
#note Q says KAE or ELK are better here, both reducing his score slightly and improving my bingo %, especially with KAE. A bit surprising, I figured DGILN would be a bit too prone to CC draws, but the sim never lies
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BEEGOTX F3 BOXE. +17 29
#note this also seemed very wrong. It performs OK in a sim, but the sim does not comprehend Jackson's defensive responses that don't allow re-overlaps on the C column. I really have to throw out rack balance for a turn here and make a weird-looking play like B(A)TE G6o r just OB(E) 6F. #tacticssmall
>Jackson_Smylie: AAGILNV E2 GALA +34 52
#note pretty necessary to put my L at E4 instead of any other tile for scoring defense. This looks like the best of LA/ALA/GALA, though it's close
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BEFGPTT -BFGPT +0 29
#note missed the nice B(EWE)PT. Very equity-focused mindset. PET was also a leave I wanted, but I felt like Jackson would more often than not dampen the P by playing on the D column. Thought better to go for an S or R or blank. #findingsmall
>Jackson_Smylie: IINPUVZ D5 ZIP +33 85
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CDEINQT 3B NIQ.. +32 61

#note in a world of trouble
>Jackson_Smylie: DENORSU J5 RESOUND +75 178
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADDEETT 10F ATTE.DED +62 135
>Jackson_Smylie: LLOOPRV L6 PLOV.R +12 190
#note missed L(E)VO and (D)OLLOP here, which both look good here. PLOVER is a weird play, but I liked reaching for the blank, and the S hook can be useful for me if he bingoes immediately. However, LEVO is just better, still very defensive and never sets up a big play for him. DOLLOP is good but still a bit too open for the board and pool. Q likes PERVO as well, I did not love it. PLOVER isn't bad but looks worse than LEVO
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EORRTT B9 TORREnT +68 203
#note horrible board vision fail, missing the S hook on RESOUND! RETORTS and RESOUNDS is a lot better. #visionsaddest
>Jackson_Smylie: BILNOSU 12L SNUB +42 232
#note lost the game here. G7 ABUTILONS is 67.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEEFMNN 12A F.EEMAN +32 235
#note missed the really nice MEAN(D)E(R) 11F. FEME A8 was also an option. #questionable
>Jackson_Smylie: EIIJLOU O10 JU.ILE +45 277
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EGHILNT A4 LIGHTEN +91 326
#note ridiculous
>Jackson_Smylie: ?IIOTUW 11D WO +23 300
#note Q likes exchanging as well, but I don't, cause I think he can do a lot to outrun here. I played WO over OW to keep the 13 lane alive if I ever need it, but I think it gets blocked soon so often anyways and its such a specific lane, the extra point is more worth it
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AACORRY 14J CORRA. +28 354
>Jackson_Smylie: ?EIIOTU M4 TUI +7 307
#note looks like (LO)UIE or TUI here - considered both, and it basically comes down to which bingoes more, cause they both seem to win a lot when I draw a bingo - TUI does have the slight advantage of outrunning scoring plays better - N column scoring plays still let me win with a 15 row bingo, and 15 row scoring plays like STYMY still let me win with 3 row plays. However, after LOUIE, he can do more to outrun bingoes, though most still win. It seems like LOUIE does bingo more often though, and importantly bingoes a bit more on rows 14 and 15, which he will more likely leave open if he doesn't have a scoring block like STYMY. Still not sure which play is best, but both are good
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AHMNSYY 15A S.YMY +48 402
#note all the bingos play down low, incredibly.
>Jackson_Smylie: ?EFGIOS 3H FOGgIES +80 387
>Jackson_Smylie: ?EFGIOS -- -80 307
#note bad spread play, I was like 99% sure this was no good so it's dumb to try it
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AHIIN 8L .HIA +21 423
#note the reverse order, VIN setting up OHIA, is a bit better for spread. -3 #endgamesmall
>Jackson_Smylie: ?EFGIOS 15A .....InG +48 355
#note FOGIES is better spread
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: IN 9L .IN +17 440
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: (EFOS) +14 454
