>Jackson: GGIJLOP H7 JIG +22 22
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AAILNNQ 7E NIN.A +14 14
#note exchanging down to AILN sims a few ahead of QI, which sims a lot ahead of NINJA. Cute setup but gets blocked so much at a high cost to Josh, who then has a vestigial Q
>Jackson: GLOOPSU 6C GOOP +25 47
#note wasnt 100% sure of GLOOP, which is of course better. the L helps the U oddly a lot, which is why I was okay playing it safe on the knowledge side, but this is still a few point error
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEELNQR -Q +0 14
#note AELNR hits slightly more than AEELNR, and scores more cause in doing so reaches for heavier tiles. RENAIL for 19 looks like the play here though, a few points ahead of exchanging down to AELNR and 7 ahead of AEELNR
>Jackson: ?AELNSU J4 cENSUAL +73 120
#note did a cursory search through ON but clearly did not give it my best effort - all I saw was NONVALUES* which is not a word, but I have NONUSABLE, NONSEXUAL, and NONEQUALS
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEEKLNR 8A ANKLE +33 47
>Jackson: AFHLMOT 5B MATH +37 157
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EIQRRS 5H Qu.RIERS +82 129
>Jackson: AEEFFLO O1 LOAF. +36 193
#note saw LEAFS but not ALEFS, which looks good - with an A draw get AFORE and generally overlap the spot better than josh can. LEAFS over LOAFS as well..... the F does overlap better for me after that
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CDDORRV L1 CORV.D +30 159
>Jackson: EEFHIOW N2 WHO.E +46 239
#note horrible miss of WHEREOF
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BCDEIRX 1H XERI. +42 201
>Jackson: AEEFIIZ B8 .AZI +33 272
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BCDEILO A11 BIELD +31 232
>Jackson: EEFIIUY B13 FIE +24 296
#note close beteen FIE and FEU, but the defense for occasional bingoes is nice
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AACDINO 2F CAID +25 257
>Jackson: AEIPSUY C12 ESPY +42 338
#note did not see YAUP at K9, that looks pretty good to force my hand here, dig into the bottom right a bit. EIS is a fantastic leave for the pool. As much as scoring well is great here, AIU can go south, as it did. YAUP does look like a small but definite improvement
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ABMNORT 4A MOB +20 277
>Jackson: AEINTUW K8 TWAE +23 361
#note maybe I play it slow with AW or EW for 20, making sure I dont get a super disastrous rack. I liked scoring a bit here, INU is not so bad for the pool, case I and all, and saving the N with so many Ts out. I think EW is ultimatley a better play, K column bingoes usually give a fair amount back, and AINTU is just a safer leave than INU
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADNRSTY L10 DRY +20 297
>Jackson: EINOTUU A1 NEU. +18 379
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AENRSTT 8A .....T +15 312
#note definitely dont bingo here, even with the pool as shite as it is
>Jackson: GIOOTUU 12L .O +5 384
#note did not see many cases where this lost - there are fishes that I might have to worry about, but the only real problem scenario i saw over the board was AEENRST on his rack, which will win half the time for him if he plays, when I draw the V. I'm sure this can go down to some fishes, but YO actually blocks a lot more than it gives back, cause VERSANT and stuff are blocked, and just by luck a lot of the bingoes in the pool dont quite fit with YON. However, the more I look at it, the more I should just block with OI. GOO/GLAD blocks similarly on paper, leaving just RETASTE, STERANE, and VETERAN for Josh, but OI leaves ENERVATE, ENTREATS, and EVENTERS - the V is less likely on his rack, i think, so OI leaves him with slightly fewer possibilities. YO does do better than OI if he bingoes, but really Josh should not bingo a lot of the time and some of his fishes can be pretty good for him, so i think i should just go all in with OI. YO can lose to some other immediate bingoes from the E as well, although I sitll win some against stuff like EVENTERS or ENTREATS, it's not enough, and I should just go for OI all in.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEENRST N9 EARNEST +74 386
#note Josh correctly calculated that this was 5/8 on paper, he just has to not draw the U or the V. His fishes don't reasonably seem as good, I can often block everything with GOUT or OTTO or something. Even with inference, with 2 in the bag my range opens a bit, as was the case here
>Jackson: GIOTTUU 15L TU.U +15 399
#note saw the best sequence of UT, TUT, TUTU, ZIG, GO, GOT, but was too lazy to execute. its funny that quackle comes up with UT but only follows with TUTU, not with TUT then TUTU.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: V - +0 386
>Jackson: GIOT 10B .IG +13 412
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: V - +0 386
>Jackson: OT D10 .OT +12 424
#note GO, GOT, but whatever. also TAO if I want to just go out
>Jackson: (V) +8 432
