>Samuel_Kaplan: EENNOPR 8D PEREON +22 22
#note Take 2...action! I need to win but I'm not necessarily in dire need of spread. So I decided to be more open instead of doing PEN just because PEN takes so many hooks and I'm giving up too many points. Looks fine.
>Jeremy_Hall: ?AACHIR D4 CHAR.AIs +78 78
#note Nice find. AgRA(P)HIC and the anagram of HAIRCA(P)s also score 78. But it might be harder if I have to survive another potentially blankless effort.
>Samuel_Kaplan: EHILNOS 4D .HOLINES +64 86
#note This is surprisingly my only bingo. It was held but correctly accepted. Good thing I realized it was SHINOLA and not SHINOLE*.
>Jeremy_Hall: ILTU 5J LITU +14 92
>Samuel_Kaplan: AAEGKOV C10 KAVA +29 115
#note Probably just 6H OAK is fine. Was too focused on dumping the V, and I don't even have an S. #visionsmall
>Jeremy_Hall: AELORTZ H6 ZO.LATER +68 160
#note And OAK would have blocked this, although F2 ZOO or 6B ZOA would have been his most likely plays if that puts him very close to a bingo. So it would have been hard to stop him either way.
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGOPRV H1 VAG. +24 139
#note Wasn't a fan of 5D HOP when I'm behind, but Quackle seems to like it quite a bit as it's 6 more. Thoughts?
>Jeremy_Hall: AW 5D .AW +33 193
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEOPRRT 12G R.PORTED +72 211
#note Thought about playing DEPORTER too with the SKI and the ZOOLATERS hooks being open, but I'm also not exactly desperate for spread just yet. Bingoes with the DEPORTERS hook will hurt me more on average than the other 2 hooks. LITU wasn't a concern for me because of LITUS*.
>Jeremy_Hall: BFU B13 FUB +21 214
>Samuel_Kaplan: DDEGOQY N10 DO.GY +30 241
#note Definitely worth it to score now instead of dumping the Q, especially when there's still 6 Is to draw and the U in LITU being unlikely to get blocked next turn.
>Jeremy_Hall: ?AEGMSY B4 MAGuEYS +77 291
#note Nothing I could do there. Nice find by him!
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEINOQ M3 EQ.INE +32 273
#note M3 EQUID would have been 2 more and a less disastrous result.
>Jeremy_Hall: DEJ 8L J.ED +60 351
#note He still has G7 J(E)ED for 44, so maybe it wouldn't have mattered too much if I did EQUID or EQUINE. Still, this is a game where I'm playing King of the Court on steroids- instead of winning twice to become king, it has to be 4 times.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDIIOST N1 BIDI +28 301
#note Best play but my odds of winning are only dwindling.
>Jeremy_Hall: ISX 14F XIS +44 395
#note Nice block.
>Samuel_Kaplan: CINOSTW A8 WO +35 336
#note The A is not in the right spot for WAINSCOT. My fishes can only go so far.
>Jeremy_Hall: MOOR A1 ROOM +36 431
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEINNST O1 IN +20 356
#note Bingoing with 2D INST(A)NCE is actually not correct here and this is one of 3 moves that gives me a nonzero win %. Yay for that accomplishment?
>Jeremy_Hall: EFIN 15D NEIF +22 453
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEENSTT K9 SEC.ET +16 372
>Jeremy_Hall: ALTUU 3E AT +14 467
#note Misscored as 13.
>Samuel_Kaplan: NT 10H .NT. +6 378
#note 10B (SKI)NT is 5 better and was missed. Great game Jeremy and congrats to him on being Gibsonized with 2 games left! Now I will have to go for the silver and I don't expect either of the last 2 games to be easy ones either. Final score was recorded as 466-384. 9-5 +102.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (LUU) +6 384
