>Josh: AEEIPTX H3 EXPIATE +98 98
>Jackson: EEFIOPS I3 FIE +32 32
>Josh: ?FGILSS 9C GIFtL.SS +65 163
#note Q prefers GIFS here by a healthy margin
>Jackson: CEEGOPS D8 P.ECE +24 56
#note EPOPEES was the word I was looking for. definitely best here. Considered a lot here, PEG(S) to really open the board better and keep well, PEG which sets up PEPO scoring plays and keeps well, COPSE to se up an S hook. PIECE keeps the clunky GO combo but allows for APIECE forking possibilities, sets up the C lane, S hook, etc, scores decently.
>Josh: GINOVWZ 11D .OVING +24 187
#note this is fairly defensive, but it seems V(A)W is so good raw that it's worth playing - not just OOZING but lots of scoring plays, Josh averages 53. COVING does block the highest scoring lane but doesn't lower my bingo % by much more than VAW does
>Jackson: ADGIOSW 13A GOWD +29 85
#note strongly considered WAG here, forking the board and opening the top left. It sims a bit below GOWD, but being down this much, opening the top left when it is otherwise fairly dead is a good idea. a tossup overall, GOWD sims 3.5 up
>Josh: AHKQRWZ 8A WHA. +39 226
>Jackson: AAAEIST A10 TAI.AS +24 109
#note AA(S)...? was close to playing SAGA here, but this 15 row is nice longterm, not super easy to block cause of the I at 12A.
>Josh: DIKQRRZ 7G Q.DI +26 252
>Jackson: AEEHJVY 6J HEAVY +43 152
#note figured I could use some N2 J plays after this placement, and though maybd he chose QADI as a K setup. also the bottom right was easier to access so I liked reaching upwards a bit more
>Josh: KORRRUZ L5 R.ZOR +15 267
>Jackson: EEJLOOU 8K J.ULE +36 188
>Josh: AEKLORU 15A .OUK +13 280
#note OUR and KAURY are worth considering here. OUR 7A is nice cause it blocks miracle bingoes on columns A and B, which I may be fishing for later in the game, and AEKL scores quite well next turn. SOUK obviously blocks the biggest lane, but at a big sacrifice here. Q prefers OUR, just outscoring bingoes. not bad to block the S for the future though, I do like this play
>Jackson: ?EINOOR 12I IONOmER +67 255
>Josh: AEELRRU 13K URARE +20 300
>Jackson: ACDDLMT N2 MADL. +22 277
#note D(O)D(O) felt like a good play here, but I think I'm down by too much and the pool is too balanced to try and chip away at his lead - MADLY is nice because it makes an O column scoring threat, which if he takes leaves open the 14 row, and CDT is decent for hitting that spot (decent being 5%, i am likely fucked here)
>Josh: BEEELNY O1 EYNE +37 337
>Jackson: ACDIMOT 14E COADMIT +69 346
#note still not favoured here, but gotta hope I draw the A or E and a balanced rack
>Josh: ABELSTU 15G BEAT +37 374
#note always wins, as does BA or BEATS
>Jackson: BINNORT B1 NONBIRT. +80 426
>Jackson: BINNORT -- -80 346
#note thought this had a small chance of being good. spread obv not a consideration here
>Josh: LNSTU N12 ..N +6 380
>Jackson: BINNORT M3 BO +22 368
>Josh: LSTU 10L SLUT +21 401
>Josh: (INNRT) +10 411
