#note wasn't 100% sure of SIGNETS, which plays at G6 for 1 more, but I preferred giving IN to ST given his vowel heavier range, plus not giving the F1 lane like that, forcing slightly lower scoring bingoes. Q prefers INGESTS 10D, which makes some sense, does a similar idea of not giving back too many lanes, while making the board more workable for me after Josh plays - INGESTS G4 doesnt leave me with much after an H1 play. INGESTS and FOES is probably right.

#note completely spaced on 3I here, which is 6 more! QX slightly annoying but still well worth playing
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADEINTY J2 Y. +13 36
#note DINGEY looks like the play here, setting up a 3x3 threat and the A column.

#note looks like this or BUNT/BY. BUNT is a better short term play, setting up my S with only one out, and works through more tiles. But it does give more bingo options, whereas JUBA closes the N mostly, plus him hitting the J is not the end of the world and I can often do that if I draw a vowel. JUST was considered as well but has a fair amount of downside, the O column it creates is annoying and BNV can be really clunky.I don't mind JUBA but BUNT is fine too
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADGHOOS 1A HAD. +45 151
#note HOTDOG also worth considering, Josh considered SHOJO HADJ DOUGH. HADJ and SHOJO flipflop in a sim a couple ahead of HOTDOG. It is nice to leave the KM columns open cause those 7s will open more lanes, whereas after HOTDOG the N column doesn't open as much. I like HADJ here, S will be useful once he deals with GOO tiles on his rack

#note lord - INSOLENT plays, and it was not for lack of looking. I got the bingo feeling through the O but couldnt find it. Gotta look for prefixes and suffixes in these cases, like a n00b.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?AGNOST M9 TANGOeS +72 254
>Jackson: CDEINQR 13B DE.INC +42 337
#note CINQ or DEZINC here - DENR is still the safer leave, even with all the Rs out - I could draw DENORRR or something, but with few other one pointers in the pool, DENR rarely gets super bad, DEEFNRR is a fine rack to have, for example. DEZINC can go much more south, QR mixed with a couple Rs and whatnot. I liked DEZINC to continue outscoring, the Q is not so bad here with QAID draws, QI at a minimum, and a decent amount of Q options for 20-30. I also liked that it exhausted most of the bottom middle lanes, so it would just leave the B column immediately, which i don't mind cause that gives back the triple to me. The real problem with DEZINC is that the O column is gonna get opened by Josh, and I want to have flexibility to deal with it. DEZINC, scoring so much, can give me a certain flexibility, but QR can go so south and the Q is a dead weight that will likely take me out of the defense game for a turn to deal with. Of course DEZINC hit that roadblock this game, so I am liking the idea of the rack security of CINQ, but both plays are reasonable.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEEIMRX N13 EX +36 290
#note I like the idea, he is likely gonna need the blank to win this game and this makes my life pretty difficult
>Jackson: CFOQRRR K9 FOR +22 359
#note I was worried about EH/ODAH after this, setting up a D that is not a blank, and scoring well. Also blocks CODA, which is the main idea of playing FOR here, to have another scoring spot offset. I didnt love CORF/FOY here, even though it works through the rack more, cause it blocks my main Q spots. FRO for 3 more isnt so bad, but it does add 4 to the S hook, which feels dumb. Maybe just QI here to deal with that once and for all. I still had hopes for the Q to not be so bad. I wanted to draw into AGRO with FOR, try to outrun. A small upside of him playing EH is that it could be easier for me to block the O column in that case, plays at 5J, whereas I rely on something like AGRO otherwise.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEEHIMR N9 EH +36 326
#note perfect rack for this play, looking not so bad here
>Jackson: ?CPQRRR 12M .RR +15 374
#note now with so many vowels in the pool, exchanging wasnt too tempting. The Q can still be bailed out pretty easily, CINQ or COQUI now - if I exchanging, CPR? is the right thing to exchange. This looks like a weird play, GRR, but is really just to outscore more than anything, though if he bingoes with FETED it will be close. with DIMER, he is around 13% to bingo
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEIMRRU B10 MUR.ER +30 356
>Jackson: ?AACPQR 8N PA +20 394
#note no bingoes in the pool, and hard to imagine losing after CAPRI or almost anything, but just being safe blocking WOOLED or other FETED plays
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AADIILW 2B WA.L +27 383
#note there are actually no bingoes he can draw into on the C3 lane without the blank, but CALDARIA and RADIALIA exist on the O column. WI(N) might be best here to go for those, and there is some chance I se a threat at C3 like ANALCITE if Josh draws the blank... tough to imagine winning here without an error on my part
