#note Whangarei Round 23
>Jenny_Litchfield: NOTU L8 .ONUT +12 12
>Chris_Tallman: EINNSTU M2 TUNNIES +76 98
>Jenny_Litchfield: ?AAJLOP 4G JALAPe.O +84 96
#note Great find by Jenny, though it scores 88 through the N of DONUT and avoids giving back the huge hook.
>Chris_Tallman: AADFHSV O1 FAHS +51 149
#note Lucky to have the S to hit back. I hesitated a bit because FOHS* isn't good, but didn't chicken out and play FADS for 6 less.
>Jenny_Litchfield: EORRT 5C RETRO +19 115
>Chris_Tallman: ABCDIVW D1 WAIV.D +34 183
#note WAIVED is simming best, but the highest scoring play is a word I didn't know - BAWDRIC (36) through the R of RETRO.
>Jenny_Litchfield: DEN C1 END +21 136
>Chris_Tallman: BCEEIPT 6G BICEP +25 208
#note I saw PEEWIT (33), though it keeps B and C together again and slots the P into the left triple lane. I decided to sacrifice a few points to keep a good ET leave and keep things a bit tighter. PEBA to the A in JALAPENO (24) keeps CEIT and may be slightly better.
>Jenny_Litchfield: EHO 7E HOE +21 157
>Chris_Tallman: DEIIOTZ C5 .IOTIZED +73 281
#note Well, this wasn't intentional, I thought it was a verb. No hold.
>Jenny_Litchfield: ABE 8A BE.A +21 178
>Chris_Tallman: EGGIKLM 11C .GGLIKE +26 307
#note I saw KILN between JALAPENO and BICEP (38), but felt like getting rid of the G's and blocking a bunch of the board was higher priority although it sacrifices 12 points.
>Jenny_Litchfield: ?EENOSS 13G OnENESS +73 251
>Chris_Tallman: AAEMRRY 14G MARY +37 344
#note I saw YARN for 35 using PAP, but decided to play MARY down below instead. I reasoned that there were no S's left and only one more for the OMA hook, and that I held one, and one E for the NYE hook too. Still an unneccessary risk; I could get hit with 100+ in the worst cases.
>Jenny_Litchfield: AGQU 15E QUAG +56 307
#note Punished. Jenny tried to count this as 106 because she was 'so excited about the spot', lol.
>Chris_Tallman: ACELRRX K8 .LEX +44 388
#note I considered CARN with PAP (32) first, but there wasn't a second guaranteed X spot, so I decided to just cash it now.
>Jenny_Litchfield: MOW 5J MOW. +41 348
#note Was wishing I'd played there earlier with one of my many opportunities.
>Chris_Tallman: ACEILRR 1A CR..EL +33 421
#note I was only 99% sure CREWEL was good (mixing it up with KREWEL*), but with my philosophy of not playing scared, I went for it. Afte around this point in the tournament though, with my spread lead over Lawson growing, I stop making choices like this.
>Jenny_Litchfield: INRTTUY A8 .ITTY +14 362
>Chris_Tallman: AFIR B6 FI. +31 452
#note Missing my outplay AFRIT
