#note This looks good.

#note Only bingo.
>Steve_Grob: EEST 11D TEES +33 80
>Arie_Sinke: ABDDGMW 14F BAWD +34 141
#note Don't like creating an easy to use hot spot but can't say no to the static equity here.
>Steve_Grob: EM 15G ME +31 111
>Arie_Sinke: AABDGIM J5 GAB +24 165
#note This looks right. It optimizes score and leave as well as possible.
>Steve_Grob: IIT 12I .ITI +26 137
>Arie_Sinke: AADIMOT 12C MOAT +27 192
#note This looks fine; the only consideration is whether it might be worth it to play DOAT instead. Without the prospect of a bingo likely in the near future, the M is a better scoring tile than the D, and immediate overlaps of DOAT score two less. Sim likes DOAT but I'm not sure I buy it.
>Steve_Grob: EIOUV K10 OU.VIE +18 155
>Arie_Sinke: ADINNOV 15J N.VOID +42 234
#note This is best by far.
>Steve_Grob: EFINOSY 13B FOE +23 178
>Arie_Sinke: ADGKNOR 14N KA +27 261
#note I like this play; it scores well and prevents eights to the D. It does well in a sim. Maybe RAND 14A instead for 30 but I like this better.
>Steve_Grob: ACIO K2 CIAO +18 196
>Arie_Sinke: DGNORRS L4 GRR +18 279
#note A lot of options here. I want to restrict the board as much as possible with my lead. GRR is very defensive and the DNOS leave is good for non-bingo scoring on a board with very limited bingo potential. I think GRR is the way to go; I could also play DORR instead to completely block almost anything with ZITIS. GRIND 3I is good for equity but doesn't kill the board as well.
>Steve_Grob: AEGSTY M3 GAYEST +36 232
>Arie_Sinke: ?DILNOS 13G DO. +20 299
#note I'm in great shape here, just biding my time.
>Steve_Grob: UX 8M .UX +30 262
>Arie_Sinke: ?AILLNS O6 LA. +10 309
#note This play was poor. I should be playing ALS 14B here, killing the scoring spot in the southeast corner of the board, taking a 62 point lead and basically almost guaranteeing myself the win unless Steve bingos imminently. I think I overestimated the likelihood that the C would yield me a bingo of my own.
>Steve_Grob: EFW 14A FEW +36 298
>Arie_Sinke: ?ILNNSS 15A eNS +33 342
#note I have two options here. I can do what I did or I can hang on to the blank with SIN or NIL at 15C, threatening to maybe play qI 3J at some point and totally kill the board, barring a play of NUTJOB 7E. eNS seems like the saner choice. I could lose if Steve bingos to the C or the I or sets himself up effectively but at least I'm not getting outrun without a bingo.
>Steve_Grob: CIT 10K .TIC +12 310
>Arie_Sinke: DILLLNS 15E LI.. +10 352
#note Probably should exchange here while I have the chance.
>Steve_Grob: EPR 2H PER. +10 320
>Arie_Sinke: DELLNSU 1G LUD +27 379
#note I can't lose anymore, this is the best equity play.
>Steve_Grob: AHINORR N1 NOIR +16 336
>Arie_Sinke: EHLNNS 1L HE.S +33 412
#note Best.
