#note UH is the other reasonable play here, setting up DUH. HUB is standard in raw equity, but UH is cool. HUB sims about a point ahead, HUB ends up setting up DUH for ED words on the 6 row as well, which is nice (just gets taken accidentally more often and makes a C hook).

#note interesting choice by champ. CRAW sims way better.
>Jackson: AGIIOST O1 ATIGIS +36 122
#note reacting a bit to CAW, I liked obstructing the O and taking the S hook away. Normally ATIGI/AX is standard, but with score and all this is a bit safer given the range, I think. This only makes sense if CAW keeps Ss a lot more than usual, cause ATIGIS doesnt actually lower Q's bingo percentage, just shifts it to be more defensive against S racks. With something like ST implied, ATIGIS wins a sim by about 5 points, but with nothing implied, ATIGI wins a sim by 5 points.

#note at this point I think Q is holding way stronger than it actually is
>Jackson: IMOOTTU L6 .IMOUT +27 188
#note Not that theres much I can do about it, but it does make sense that JEW held a C for CHUB, cause otherwise it doesnt make much sense to block the nice floaters downstairs. If I think Q is still holding an S, maybe I do something like MOJO or MOUTON to start to reach towards the bottom left, allowing me to block CHUB next turn. Even with S implied, DIMOUT still kills a sim, so I think stepping on the gas with this play is totally fine, but the longer term argument for MOUTON or MOJO is def reasonable

#note Could keep running with SNOOL, but I have the case S and there some extra vowels in the pool that make the leave more dangerous.

>Jackson: EFIOSTY D10 FEIST +23 310
#note Tough to know if NA is a specific fish for one of the spots on the board (D column or 1/2 row, mainly), or a more general fish like it was (AEINRT). I thought it was possible that it was going for something specific on the 15 row, but it's less likely at this score. I liked FEIST cause if Q doesnt bingo I can block at n1 next turn, but if it does I can hit FEISTY for 60 and maintain my lead. I didn't love YETI just because it isn't as good when I get bingoed on immediately. The only problem with FEIST is in case Q opens the B column off of FEIST, blocking FEISTY, but I think it takes a pretty specific play to do that, so I wasn't too worried. FEISTY immediately is okay too, but can let Q open for more points at 15a, and works out worse in two turn average.

#note forgot about OFAY, this is NWL18. Close call, the U isnt super important for the Q on this board so MOU doesnt carry that advantage. I thnk OFAY is stlil a bit better to avoid disaster vowel draws, which are lurking in the pool.
