>Marty_Gabriel: DETWY 8D WYTED +32 32
>Arie_Sinke: FIILMOO 9G FOLIO +25 25
#note This looks right. It looks like my placement is marginally more defensive than the other placement of FOLIO.
>Marty_Gabriel: ADHNRST E7 H.DRANTS +80 112
>Arie_Sinke: BIMMTUX J6 IMM.X +34 59
#note I missed UNMIXT/UNMIX 12D here, if I indeed recorded my rack correctly.
>Marty_Gabriel: DEIJORS 12B JOI.DERS +84 196
>Arie_Sinke: BEGSTUV 14B VUG. +16 75
#note This is probably best. OUTBEG K9 for 27 is an alternative that I missed - it does set up the S but not in an optimal position for bingoing.
>Marty_Gabriel: CKTU H11 T.UCK +33 229
>Arie_Sinke: BEEINST F6 BE. +16 91
#note Things are looking pretty grim here. I need to bingo as fast as possible. This looks like the best way to facilitate that.
>Marty_Gabriel: DELV K3 VELD +19 248
>Arie_Sinke: EILNOST 3K .INO +14 105
#note This play, unsurprisingly, is not the sim winner. I feel like I need to make something happen here if I want to have a chance. Marty can play defensively and close the board if I just blindly make a two tile fish and I want to keep my options open - plus to get back in the game, I need multiple bingos here, probably high scoring ones, so I may give myself a glimmer of hope by creating a big S hook.
>Marty_Gabriel: HOP 2L POH +32 280
>Arie_Sinke: EELSTTU 4I LE.T +18 123
#note Not thrilled with this draw, but I'm pretty sure LEET has to be the way to go - I set up a second S hook with SPIT. The goal of these situations is to create openings as fast as your opponent obstructs them.
>Marty_Gabriel: EGT H4 GET +14 294
>Arie_Sinke: EGOOSTU 1F OUTGOES +84 207
#note Only bingo.
>Marty_Gabriel: AEERZ 2B RAZEE +36 330
>Arie_Sinke: ABENQRU 3C BAN +31 238
#note I think the Q is my friend here - I need a very high scoring sequence to get back in the game, and something, preferably a bingo, that places the Q on O4 (which is actually somewhat probable) is probably my best hope.
>Marty_Gabriel: ACPR 4A CRAP +55 385
>Arie_Sinke: ?EINQRU O3 sQUIRE +79 317
#note I don't really think I can hang onto the blank with something like CIRQUE or CINQUE - I probably need a bingo after my 79 point play to win, and if I play for only 51 I probably don't have much of a chance without two bingos, which I am extremely unlikely to get.
>Marty_Gabriel: ANNY A4 .ANNY +30 415
>Arie_Sinke: AEFINRW N8 FAWNIER +97 414
#note Only bingo. With the unseen pool quite weak there are lots of draws that could win for me.
>Marty_Gabriel: AAEIILS 5D SEA +27 442
#note This is Marty's best play.
>Arie_Sinke: ?AIO M11 IOtA +14 428
#note Best out - it still falls short.
>Arie_Sinke: (IILA) +8 436
