>Samuel_Kaplan: BIJOOWY 8G JOW +26 26
#note While I won't be able to finish ahead of Jamie, I can still finish 3rd or even 2nd depending on other results. So there's no holding back now. Jamie tends to play for score more than leave on a lot of occasions. This looks fine, BY has much better synergy than BW does, so JOW over JOY or JOB it is.
>Jamie_McCune: AEIOPRS J8 SOAPIER +77 77
#note These early bingoes from opponents keep pouring on me! But there was no stopping this one either.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABEIOY 9G OY +21 47
#note Didn't like how blocky K10 YO was just because ABEI? isn't great for Row 9 options. This way, I'll get reparallels and have the floaters in SOAPIER available. And, Jamie can't block Row 10 without giving back other floaters and leaving the ones in SOAPIER open. 11E BIOtYP(E) is not a play I saw, but I'm fine with this one either way.
>Jamie_McCune: BDEHITW - +0 77
#note Not actual rack. Jamie exchanged 5 tiles here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ABEIRU 14F REBU.IAl +61 108
#note Holy crap 14H BA(R)RIqUE is a hard one to spot! If I did see it, I'm doing the 14H placement as I do need spread. Jamie just needs to win.
>Jamie_McCune: AENV 15E VENA +37 114
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEGKST 15L BAKE +47 155
#note Very close with N10 KETAS and N10 BEAKS/BAKES in the sim.
>Jamie_McCune: AELOPTU 13A OUTLEAP +85 199
#note While this is clearly best for him, I'm just gonna say I got an insanely lucky break as he told me he debated doing 11H PO(P)ULATE for 11 less.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?GHNSTU A8 GUNSH.Ts +185 340
#note Let's freaking go!!!!!!
>Jamie_McCune: ACS N12 CAS. +40 239
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFIMNNV 10D FIVE +28 368
>Jamie_McCune: DEEX K9 EXED +46 285
>Samuel_Kaplan: ELMMNNT 11C MEN +19 387
#note I did not see 10I T(AX)MEN, but this is a better idea anyway. 9A (U)NMET is a better version of this to also block Column B. #visionsmall
>Jamie_McCune: ADDEFLN - +0 285
#note Not actual rack. Jamie exchanged 5 tiles here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ILMNOTY I10 MOL +26 413
>Jamie_McCune: DO L11 DO +23 308
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEINQTY B7 QI +14 427
>Jamie_McCune: AINTW C4 TWAIN +25 333
>Samuel_Kaplan: AENOTUY B2 YOU +14 441
#note I did not know the ATWAIN hook in this situation. So I decided to try to bingo again and rack up additional spread. #knowledgelarge because I would have scored much better than this.
>Jamie_McCune: ORT 5C .ORT +14 347
>Samuel_Kaplan: AEGNTTZ A1 ZAG +47 488
#note Got lucky here. More spread.
>Jamie_McCune: GHIR F2 GIR.H +21 368
>Samuel_Kaplan: DENNSTT 11H D.... +9 497
#note Going for any vowel draw to bingo out and rack up even more spread.
>Jamie_McCune: EIL 6F .EIL +7 375
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFNNSTT F12 F... +7 504
#note Let's try again...
>Jamie_McCune: EL 12C EL +23 398
>Samuel_Kaplan: AENNSTT 5H TANNEST +68 572
#note Whoops...L3 TENANTS for 1 more. I was on my way to potentially having another 700 game after GUNSHOTS and it felt nice to have things go my way for once. Got the 4th win I needed to have a rating increase and wound up 3rd of 8. Princeton is on June 8th which is up next!
