#note didn't like this. J10 YO sims top, followed by QA(D)I blocking some annoying plays and setting up my S, which I considered but couldn't stomach. At least this could confuse him. #questionable

>JoshSokol: CEGILRS J4 CIGS +33 97
#note maybe LIGS# instead. I also almost played RELICS J2 just to open some space. This was the first of two decisions that put the life of the board in severe danger on account of feeling like I could manage. RELICS sims best by 4, followed by just CIG.

#note hIVELE(S)S leaves me with an out the 1/13th of the time Rob redraws into a bingo. I was only 100% sure of this one, but I had some sort of inkling to try and keep row 14 open. Not sure why. Rob could also draw into a very strong play on the O column that isn't a bingo, and I could draw poorly. But my lack of knowledge of CSW and my desire to outplay my opponents really kicked in. hIVELESS and dEVILESS sim best, and I honestly don't disagree.

>JoshSokol: ABDIOOR 14J BOAR. +28 304
#note 13J DOBI(ES) sims best. That makes sense, it reduces Rob's average score by a ton by removing all of the remaining scoring spots on the board. His average score is 15(!) after that. This was a far larger mistake than VEINLESS was.
>RobRobinsky: EP 13L PE.. +23 349
>JoshSokol: DEIORTZ 4G ODI. +9 313
#note I could play ZERO N2 and just hope he doesn't have AAAAEEOO. Mostly considered this and EROTI(C) as Z setups. Thought that even though the setup was getting blocked with this one, the balance and the fact that it opens the board, paired with the surprise value of the Z were enough
>RobRobinsky: CFKU 5D FUCK +32 381

>RobRobinsky: AAENY A4 .YAENA +36 417
>JoshSokol: FGGNRTT E3 FR.G +25 388
#note the nail in the coffin was somehow overdrawing with HAZE, him turning over GGO, and getting rid of the O. How did I overdraw? Oof.
>RobRobinsky: LU C2 LU. +24 441
>JoshSokol: BGNRTTW 7A .WT +7 395
#note not gonna analyze this, other than saying my idea was make it harder for him to outscore/block, then hoping for an O draw and B(I) I2 and the AOO he can use to block I2 somehow disappear.

#note just trying to scare the spread in my favor

>JoshSokol: BEGNNTV C9 .NVENT +18 421
#note no time, realized this gave him an out after hitting clock
