>Josh_Sokol: DGIILNN H7 DINING +20 20
#note qwaq would like me to fish with NID, by around a point. I don't like. INDIGN I on the star would go for INDIGNLY and not give back an S hook.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEFMRRR 10G F.RMER +17 17
#note For some reason I decided there was a small chance FRIER was phony and justified making this weaker play.
>Josh_Sokol: ?DLNRSY 7B DRYLaN.S +65 85
>Josh_Sokol: AADEHRU (challenge) +5 90
#note with his range here, I thought SuNDR(I)LY might be better. Blocks the E of FIRMER, doesn't create 6F spot. Without inference, Quackle thinks it's close. I think it's probably better here. Luckily the nickel changed that.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEJLNOR 6F JO +51 68
>Josh_Sokol: AADEHRU 11J AHEAD +34 124
#note didn't notice 6B AUA for 17, which keeps strong stuff and blocks a couple of spots. That tops the sim, and a bunch of other plays are close here.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEELNOR 12L ENOL +21 89
#note OLE in this spot sims slightly ahead
>Josh_Sokol: AINSTTU C3 ANTI.UST +68 192
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ACEEILR 4A CI.EREAL +78 167
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAEEMOU (challenge) +5 172
>Josh_Sokol: ?EHIIST 13B wITHIES +79 271
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAEEMOU 12A MEOU +25 197
>Josh_Sokol: AADFGLO 13J OFLAG +33 304
#note he doesn't have the X with MEOU, right? Still, I don't know if it really makes sense to be aggressive and pry open row 15 eventually; maybe I just play FADO 13L as my first instinct told me to. It's 3 more points, too. Didn't like the idea of a potential play at 14N though, which I might not be able to block.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AABEQST 10A QA. +14 211
>Josh_Sokol: ACDETTX 14I AX +50 354
#note This was not automatic. I still thought it was right. A1 EXA(C)T looks significantly better, to not open a huge 15-row lane after he just played QA for 14. Still, he took a lot of time with QA(T), so I didn't think he was super strong.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABENOST 15C ONBEATS +82 293
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEGRWYZ (challenge) +5 298
>Josh_Sokol: BCDITTV G3 B.C.. +12 366
#note very tough spot. I thought this was a good way of threatening the death of the board and keeping a vowel, but this kind of tells him a lot about my rack, and he can make some great setups with partial inference. B(A)T(ON) sims better. Considered it too. But maybe just V(I)B(E) F12.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEGRWYZ A1 GRY.E +33 331
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EERUUWZ (challenge) +5 336
#note Clever Quackle comes up with 14N EW. Of course there's no question he blocks there if he has any of the unseen EEOOO. but I maybe need to chance it?
>Josh_Sokol: DIOTTVW H1 VIO. +25 391
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EERUUWZ F11 WE.Z. +37 373
>Josh_Sokol: DIIKTTW 9E TWI. +14 405
#note blocking (L)URVE E8 or UPO, trying to keep stuff that can score enough. This seems right.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEOPRUU 12H .U +3 376
#note going for OUTPEER
>Josh_Sokol: ADIKOPT 6I APOD +15 420
#note totally forgot about APODE# but figured I should maybe block EPROUVE* which is a french word, since I couldn't figure out what GU fished for. This is bad for spread because of APODE#.
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: EEOPRUV M1 PREVUE +30 406
>Josh_Sokol: IKT D1 KIT. +15 435
>Josh_Sokol: (O) +2 437
