#note thanks to yaacov for providing his racks. BAE, the new word, is probably the play here at m9 to shed the extra vowel
>Jackson: ?AAIOSW M11 AWA +22 44
>Yaacov_Barak: AAEFIIN N12 NAIF +22 75
#note not a bad play, but I would probably keep it tight this time with NEIF J7 for 32, the vowels suck but it is very defensive and scores well. No guarantee I have an S, but it's still more likely than random after we've played a few turns, so NAIF is abit dangerous, which Yaacov recognized as he played it

>Yaacov_Barak: ABEGIRU 15K BUR.I +33 108
>Jackson: CDEJRST J6 JE.D +28 154
#note didnt consider just the J drop for 25, that bingoes slightly more and looks worth it, especially cause the Es are separated by the V so it's v likely one will stay open
>Yaacov_Barak: ?AEEGIV N2 VEGIE +26 134
#note ergative, aggrieve, verbiage play here, but VEGIE is not much worse given how little the bingoes score
>Jackson: CGLORST 3L CL.G +14 168
>Yaacov_Barak: ?AKNNOS 14J KA +20 154
#note NOCK L1 looks best here to keep by far the best leave

>Jackson: DEIILRU L1 DU.I +18 272
>Yaacov_Barak: EMQTUWY H13 .UQ +36 259
#note the sneaky play of MEW looks best here, setting up massive Y plays if I leave the spot open. the Q is otherwise quite good on this board as well, so MEW doesn't just rely on the QU?Y upside. SUQ sims second best around 7 down
>Jackson: EIILORX 14C ILEX +53 325
>Yaacov_Barak: EEMMTWY 5E YEW. +20 279
#note tough spot, EMMYS might be best just to clean out more of the rack
>Jackson: ADFIORT 15A FIDO +33 358
#note Felt like ART was very unlikely to go south, so wanted a bit of extra scoring ammunition, rather than ADIRT which could turn into ADINRTT type shit
>Yaacov_Barak: AEMMPRT 4C TAMP +27 306
#note I think yaacov could go a bit harder for bingoes here, either MM/MID, MAM N8, or AMP
>Jackson: AEHNNRT 12A THENAR +32 390
#note tough move here. The downside of THENAR is mainly big Z bingoes to the T in THENAR, and since bingoes will give Yaacov 3 tiles, he can often go out and win. THENAR does do well against normal scoring bingoes though, cause I can outrun, and it also does well against 2 tile plays, since 2 tile plays often don't score well, and I can still outrun (ZO(O) might get a bit cagy but I still usually win). NAH 12D is the other idea, which pretty much never loses to immediate bingoes (maybe except METAZOON type stuff), but does open the door to some 4 tile plays that put him more in range. I am happy with THENAR still, the downside of NAH seems larger than allowing the very occasional Z bingo on the A column - there are enough marginal lanes open that I don't want to let him score and be down 30-40, cause I can neither block everything nor outrun everything in that case.
