>Jackson: DNORSTY H7 DRY +14 14
#note DRY wins a sim over DORTY, if it didnt take an S it might be closer. DRY H8 sims a couple down. opp average more and we average the same.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: BEGLVWZ -BGLVW +0 0
>Jackson: CIINOST 8G C.OSTINI +61 75
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EMPSTXZ J6 ZE.T +33 33
#note looks like ZEST, ZE(S)T, or SPITZ. ZEST is nice to set up the X, and keeping PX if I underlap with ZA. SPITZ is the most standard, ZE(S)T is more longterm to keep the X for DRYS after an X play. ZEST wins the sim by a hair, all three very close
>Jackson: ELMNNNT N7 L.NN +6 81
#note felt close between LINN and TINMEN. I felt like the E and N were too easy to give for free, for either bingoes or just bailout plays, and EMNT is a much more stable leave. TINMEN wins the sim by a couple points, might be too big a sacrifice
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: LMPRRSX -LMPRX +0 33
>Jackson: EIMNOOT G3 EMOTI.ON +75 156
#note 2nd turn taking a 2 point sacrifice to not open the triple, this time NOONTIME
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AAFQRSY L5 FAQ.R +17 50
#note FAQIR does not even show up on static, but ASY is so solid between ZESTY and H1 plays that it sims really well, right up with AY and YA with ZESTY, looks close. YA is good for getting FAQIRS draws or QAT H1, the Q has options here
>Jackson: EIIILLM M8 .IELLI +20 176
#note saw MILLIME but wasnt sure of it, I might have played that instead of NIELLI. i liked keeping the M for some H1 plays, even just solid overlaps without MM will score well. MILLIME sims a few points better. I didnt like LIME here
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ABGGOSY 10J YO +38 88
#note BY looks better here
>Jackson: ADEEIIM H1 AIMED +39 215
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AABFGGS 12L F.AG +20 108
#note GASBAG O10 looks like the play here
>Jackson: DEGILPV F9 GIP +19 234
#note I liked obstruction EMOTICONS at least somewhat, so he can't end with an S now, and encouraging more plays southwestward, in hopes of eventually closing the quadrant off. I liked the potential of drawing into VOLED next turn.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AABGOST E10 GOA +20 128
>Jackson: ADEELPV D10 ALP +28 262
#note vealed and pled were both very tempting at ways to close the spot, but they both offer potential forking plays that I didnt like - the V in vealed can be played through to fork open the 15 row and A column, and the D in pled similarly for the 15 row and A column. I preferred PLED of the two, because the V can have some defensive use, and especially because the bigger threat made by the forking play would also be the bigger scoring spot, whereas the 3x3 made after a forking play after VEALED would be the harder scoring spot to use, most likely. ALP is a more complete block cause it makes it way harder to make forking plays.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ABDJSTX 13A JABS +32 160
>Jackson: ADEEHUV A10 HAD.EE +57 319
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEEITUX 14A .X +36 196
>Jackson: ERUUVWW -ERUUVWW +0 319
#note missed ERUV F4 for 29, which might be worth playing here. Still close, reaching for ??SS is good here, and also I really dont want to be stuck with a bad rack if he makes an O12 setup play like GUV, so it was for that that I liked tossing it all and reaching into the bag
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DEEITTU I1 ETUDE +27 223

>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?ENRRTU 3B UR. +10 271
>Jackson: ?HNOTUW M2 HUrT +18 454
#note not quite - HaUT is a better version of this to set up OWN instead of just WON, so 4 better, but the best endgame is of course WUSHU, which I missed
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EEKNRT A1 REcK +41 312
