>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AANNRTT 4H .NANA +24 24
#note sim is close between TAN, ANT, JNANA
>Jackson: DDIIPRT 3J DIPT +23 69

>Jackson: DEIMQRS 1H QIS +41 144
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEFINOR 6F FA.OR +21 119
#note FANO looks like a good idea here, setting up the N
>Jackson: DEFMMRV 7G F.VER +44 188
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EEINRTX F8 .IX +26 145
#note Q prefers EX and NEXT in a sim by 5 and 3 points. Q might be opening the board for EINRT a bit too much in the sim, but with bailout plays like REXINE, EX might be okay to try and hit the E column. What is nice is that if I play through the A in anteater I often give more lanes back.
>Jackson: AADMMTZ E7 M.MA +21 209
#note tough turn. I was finding it hard to imagine him having an S with FAVOR, which made me liike MAMA quite a bit. FAVOR doesnt make sense holding an S cause he often plays more short, even though AA would seem like a play that often holds an S. AEINR and EIN make a lot more sense, those types of leaves, so I wasnt too worried about MAMAS and NIXE plays. ADZ sims at the top along with MAMA, but given his stronger bingo range I prefer this route
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CEELNRT D10 LENT +18 163
#note LENT is a nice middle ground between something like TENREC and something like LAX. TENREC seems like a good option though, scoring more and reachin for the blank, and while it lets me score more, it isnt by so much, just 8 or so, so it's not like it lets me outrun too consistently.
>Jackson: ADEPSTZ 9K ZED +29 238
#note case A, I was feeling pretty good about this. I missed P(E)SETA, which looks good too, looks close.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CEHOORS N5 CHOOSER +86 249
#note SOROCHE is 95
>Jackson: ADGGPST 11A GAG.S +32 270
#note damn missed GASP, only saw GAGS in the CHOOSERS spot. While GAGES looks better than GAGS, GASP looks a clear 2-3 better than GAGES. Opening the board like this is a slightly negative thing cause JOsh gets first crack at the spots and will leave fewer options for me, and while it's not 7 pointsbad, it is definitely worth taking the slightly worse leave with GASP to avoid doing.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: IILNTWY A8 WIN.Y +48 297
>Jackson: CDGPRTW -CDGW +0 270
#note tough call, lots of vowels out but also 2 blanks, so turnover is a bit neutral with this rack. Quackle likes keeping CR here. CR, CRT, RT, DR all bingo similarly, but CR averages the most. The pool does seem to work better with the C, which is something I didnt notice over the board. I felt the P would be about as bingo prone, maybe slightly less, but could help to hit some bailout plays at O6. Quackle says I am dead wrong, PRT is the worse exchange by like 6 points under CR. Poor choice, the bingo % is too important here.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EILLNOT 14A LILO +13 310
#note LOC maybe, or REZONE? LENTOS is a word, which neither of us really thought was good
>Jackson: HLPRTUU 13D .HRUPUT +14 284
#note reaching for blanks
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BEEINTY 14J INBYE +28 338
>Jackson: DEIKLOO O6 OIK +46 330
#note even now, with 2 blanks left in such a small pool, turnover has its drawbacks. I was looking at OIK and KOLO mostly. I was firstly not totally sure of KOLO, which made me lean harder towards OIK, but I liked the timing of KOLO, leaving 1 in the bag to prevent the type of fishing scenarios that happened here. 1 in the bag means Josh either bingoes himself and wins, or has to try to block, and since I need to draw at least 1 blank to win here, if I draw the blank I often have the better rack - he is only 33% to bingo next turn in a sim after OIK. KOLO even less, 20%, but some of that is Q forgoing bingoes with 1 in the bag. Either way, the timing of KOLO is nicer, and while it reaches for the blank, reaching for BGUW actually still lowers my bingo % in the end. OIK felt good to apply scoring pressure so that he couldn't make a total blocking play as easily, so he may have to leave the D column or something.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?CEESTW 6M W.. +9 347
#note seems like the right idea, bingoes in both spots with all bug BG draws. OIK is hard to gather info from, maybe a B slightly less cause I do bike, but even then OIK could keep the B with the L in the pool.
>Jackson: ?BDEELO B3 BELOvED +69 399
#note wins if I draw S, U, or ?. Honestly hard to imagine drawing the S or ? after WHO, but maybe it's possible
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?CEEGST H11 CE.ES +30 377
>Jackson: U 7D U. +4 403
>Jackson: (GT?) +6 409
