>Jared_Cappel: AENOORS 8H ONO +6 6
#note Exchanging O, AO, or OO sim just over half a win percent better. I thought the six points would make this play ideal, but the leaves are too strong.
>Morris_Greenberg: CCENQRT J7 C.NCERT +17 17
#note Quackle prefers exchanging CQ or CCQ here by about 2%.
>Jared_Cappel: AEEILRS 14E REALISE +75 81
#note Quackle actually prefers playing this with CONCERTI, which I saw but didn't like the scoring spots it created. It does however create two juicy spots, leaving one for each of us. I'd still probably play things as I did, but I get the alternate positioning.
>Morris_Greenberg: EIIIOQU E11 QUI.E +28 45
#note This or exchange keeping EIQU is pretty even per Quackle.
>Jared_Cappel: ?AEFGIO 12G FAI.GOEr +74 155
#note I didn't like the S hook, but 9 more points than FOLIAGE made this an easy decision.
>Morris_Greenberg: AAIINOW 15G WIN +31 76
#note Maybe WA(N)ION instead? Quackle prefers this slightly, but it is a bit slow of a move.
>Jared_Cappel: AAEGIOT 15K TOGAE +23 178
#note This sims best.
>Morris_Greenberg: AAIKOOU 14N KA +26 102
#note I missed the idea Quackle likes here, U(N)AI 9I, to go for big K plays. Exchanging is also prefered here, but all chances are pretty low by now.
>Jared_Cappel: AHINOPX 11I H.AP +33 211
#note This is simming best, but plays like XI, AXONE and PHONE are close.
>Morris_Greenberg: AGIOORU 15A ROUG. +24 126
#note Figured this was better than OURI(E) to go for column A bingos ending in R instead of O. Quackle agrees.
>Jared_Cappel: IJMNOOX 13L OX +41 252
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AIIOWZ 7J .IAO +7 133
#note I was choosing between WAZO(O) and (C)IAO here, I missed IZA(r) over the board. My logic was that holding the Z to try to cash in for more leverage is a cleaner plan to try for a big comeback than scoring 34 now keeping II?, and it is likeliest to do so by drawing attention to the other side of the board and develop both ways. Quackle really dislike this play, but suggests OW or AW 14A ahead of both, which feels like it simplifies the game for Jared a lot. I think a play like WAI(F) G9 is the happy medium here, even though there is not great opportunity to use the Z in the spot it opens up.
>Jared_Cappel: DIJMNNO 8L MIND +39 291
>Morris_Greenberg: ?DEIIWZ 9F WIDE. +17 150
#note Quackle prefers just playing off the W with W(O) B14. I don't think the bingos it hits score quite enough for this position.
>Jared_Cappel: EHJNNOP 13A ENJO.N +28 319
#note Was debating between ENJOIN and JOIN. I played ENJOIN to make bingos down the A column harder, but I did not think about how this set up huge Z bingos down A that might hurt me later
>Morris_Greenberg: ?DIRSTZ G9 .D +3 153
#note Really interesting turn! Between ZITS 10B for 48, ReSIZ(E) A8 for 72, and ZIR(AM) for 32, there are a lot of nice scoring options. I thought the best case scenarios for those moves would be pretty similar to this (SATIRIZ(E) is the best case scenario if I draw an A or I for 128, SPRITZE(D) also in play with E or P draw, or more simply RESIZ(E) with an E draw), ReSIZ(E) now will outrun by 10-20 points in the best case. The difference though is that this will only net 8 tiles played for that two turn score, whereas RESIZE will net 13. At this score I'd rather give the game a few extra turns. Quackle likes ZITS, ReSIZ(E), and D(AM) more than this (I didn't do D(AM) because it really hampers my ability to potentially develop that side of the board).
>Jared_Cappel: BEHLPTY 6M PLY +15 334
#note PHT is an improvement on the same idea as the H triples, whereas the Y doesn't triple in PLY. Quackle is suggesting a bunch of more aggressive plays that open, I suppose thinking that no matter what I do I will win. 6K HYP for 29 has the highest valuation by far, but with this massive lead, I'm not looking to open 2x2 lanes like that.
>Morris_Greenberg: ?BIRSTZ K6 B. +4 157
#note I missed BRaIZ(E) over the board, might've had a bit of tunnel vision at this point. Similar chances to win.
>Jared_Cappel: BEHLRTV O1 TREBL. +42 376
#note It's easy to be confident in words like TREBLY when I'm up 180. Would I have been so confident in a close game?
>Morris_Greenberg: ?AIRSTZ A6 SATiRIZ. +128 285
>Jared_Cappel: ADEHMSV B6 HM +32 408
#note I saw EMDASH for 53, but can't slot an E in the 3x3 lane. Quackle says this has the highest win% and valuation.
>Morris_Greenberg: EILRSUV C2 SURVEIL +84 369
>Jared_Cappel: AADEESV 4A VE.A +22 430
#note Best.
>Morris_Greenberg: FTTUY 2A FU.TY +22 391
>Jared_Cappel: ADES E4 SADE +18 448
#note MG: Shoot VERAS*! I lose anyways. JC: Oh right, I always find it strange VERA doesn't take an S, but had mentally checked out by this point...disregarding VERAS being phony, READS/SQUIRE, DEADS/FAIRGOER, and SEDAN B9 all score a lot more.
