#note ok wtf. This is a terrible miss. I haven't quite gotten to this probability in my 7s studies, but I definitely know the word from playing, and I should absolutely have seen it. Deserve to lose after this. I'll at least forgive myself for thinking APHORIZER wasn't good (turns out it is).
>Jason_Li: ADIOOOQ L8 QADI +47 158
#note Actual rack. Seems somewhat aggressive compared to other options, but sim likes it and I can see why.
>Zachary_Ansell: AALMRSU 12H MARLS +50 123
#note I'm surprised how poorly this sims compared to MAULS. It significantly reduces my variance on the next turn without a huge cut to my score, but apparently the hit on future bingo% is enough to make this significantly worse.

>Zachary_Ansell: AAEILOV 11B .OVA. +38 203
#note Wanted to play OVA(T)E, was sad when he played this after like 4 mins, but then realized that this still worked at least.
>Jason_Li: DF M7 F.D +18 229
>Zachary_Ansell: AEIILOS H10 .E.AIL +24 227
#note (Z)O(R)I is really interesting, and I was tempted to play it, but after F(U)D I got a bit over-cautious and backed out, just taking the points instead.
>Jason_Li: AEINSTT O1 INSTATE. +80 309
>Zachary_Ansell: ?GILOPS K2 ePILOGS +83 310
#note Didn't know POSInGL(Y) or SPOnGIL(Y), both of which obvs better. Was also focused on the fact that he blocked (D)OGPILeS as a new 8.

#note Honestly I have no clue how to play this position. Someone smart pls help.

#note Macondo says nothing wins at this point :(
>Jason_Li: BCEINTU G2 CUBIT +16 463
#note He wasn't 100% sure of CUBITI and just wanted to take the sure win with blocking UNAR(Y), although he inadvertently blocked RANU(LA) too.
