>Morris_Greenberg: AAIKTUX 5H KATA +27 46
#note Quackle sim likes TAKA at 5K similarly, presumably to set up huge X plays. I feel like practically that will rarely work though.

#note I opted to take 5 fewer points to play here instead of row 6. Quackle likes this most of the available bingos, but also really likes SLIN(K) H1. I didn't give it serious thought in the moment, but it is interesting. My logic was that even though this bingo is low-scoring, having the lead on the tighter board forces Deen to be the person who has the onus of opening it up, whereas if I am down I would have that onus. I'd love to hear others' thoughts.
>Deen_Hergott: AINU 11D UNAI +10 146
>Morris_Greenberg: DDILMOY 4K MOLDY +35 178
#note I prefered keeping the DI combo here to LO so I chose MOLDY over MIDDY. Quackle prefers MIDDY here, as well as the lovely DIDYMO 4C which I missed.

#note I really thought this was valid. Lucky it wasn't challenged.
>Deen_Hergott: CDEEIOS E6 CODEI.ES +61 249
>Morris_Greenberg: ?FFPTVZ 2H .FF +17 309
#note I missed PFF(T) which is a better execution of this concept. Drawing an A, E, or I give a monster Z play (ZAGs or ZeDA, ZEDa, or ZIGs). This also blocks a nice bingo lane and scores 17 on top of that, so I felt even though exchanging could give me more chances for those letters, (1) the J and Q are in the bag too which could be slower letters to handle as well, (2) 17 guaranteed points is a lot. Quackle likes P(U)ToFF most, then PFF(T).
>Deen_Hergott: HOT 15M THO +34 283
>Morris_Greenberg: ?JPTTVZ 4G T.Z +23 332
#note Similar ideas to last turn, but now for JAGs, JIGs, or JOGs. Once again, 23 points is a lot here, and further blocking bingos is helpful. P(E)T 12D and P(U)T or T(U)P D10 are Quackles favorite moves here, this is after but 5-6% worse. I don't see the reasoning immediately for this preference (I guess Q(U)A is what they are blocking, but I should be in bad shape if I draw the Q there holding JQVZ, so to me it feels like a bit of hopium for when Deen has the Q), it would be interesting to hear others' thoughts.
>Deen_Hergott: EIPW 8A WIPE. +36 319
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AJPRTV 12B VAP. +26 358
#note I mistracked here and thought there was another T (I must have forgot to cross out the T from my rack) and didn't notice that there was an M. As a result, I think AVERTIN(G) is possible so I make this play to only give Deen 1 chance to get it, and then I can likely block from the V if I need to (while I preserve the J for big plays at 1L). I also wanted to leave 2 in the bag in case Deen plays AVERTING and I leave the Q in the bag, he'd need 2 turns to go out with his 2 tiles so I chose this over VAP(E)R and JAP(E)R (and the added plus that this goes for JiVER too). Quackle likes this and JAP(E)R a lot.
>Deen_Hergott: AEEINRV 1L VE.A +36 355
#note Tough turn from Deen's perspective, and nice counterintuitive idea to empty the bag and not leave 7 tiles on his rack. This wins with some draws as there is only 1 QI spot now on teh board. The idea I liked here in retrospect after the game was (A)E C12. It goes for AVERRING and AVERTING, and blocks JIVER.

#note AM in the same spot sets up NARI(C)!
