>James: AEEEOTX 8F AXE +20 20
>Ben_Withers: AHN 7F NAH +24 24
>James: EEILOOT 9G ETOILE +25 45
#note This seemed so bad, but I didn't really see any other comparable option. The sim likes 9E LEET for the same score but keeping a few vowels. Maybe an option?
>Ben_Withers: AFIILNS M3 FINIALS +82 106
>James: GIINOTT L4 GIT +18 63
#note The computer really likes L1 TOIT, which I disregarded quickly since I felt like it gave easy counterplay to most postbingo racks. Also, the leave of ING doesn't really fit nicely anywhere, which is why I chose GIT
>Ben_Withers: Q J8 Q. +11 117
>James: ?IINOOT K7 OI. +14 77
#note Probably have to play O(L)IO here to give myself some chance at hitting an 8.
>Ben_Withers: ALOV 10D OVAL +20 137
>James: ?AINOTU 6C OUTA +11 88
#note One thing I absolutely hate is holding on to a blank for several turns in a row. I realize that the board is going to continue being closed and decide to open it at least a little. E10 (V)AU was a slightly better execution of that.
>Ben_Withers: BEMSU 11G SEBUM +30 167
>James: ?BCDINY D9 D.BY +20 108
#note Missed D6 (U)NIB(O)DY for a bit more
>Ben_Withers: EEPR 12J PEER +20 187
>James: ?ACFGIN N2 CAF +28 136
#note RIP 5F FINAnC(IN)G and the like
>Ben_Withers: Z 6L ..Z +32 219
>James: ??GIMNN C2 MIGN.Nne +72 208
#note I had already used a lot of time dealing with my 1 blank dilemma so I didn't have clock to find either 5A liMNING, hyMNING, or daMNING for 8 more
>Ben_Withers: DUW 6H WUD +21 240
>James: AAENOPR B2 OPA +25 233
#note This seemed really bad in the moment, but the sim likes it for some reason? My initial reasoning was that Ben could be holding clunky tiles after WUD and I could have a change to cash the big A4 spot with an amazing leave. I am losing so taking chances isn't necessarily bad. OPA is clearly the most equity, but I think it might give back too much a lot of the time. The sim likes it though so IDK.

#note Luckbox :)
>Ben_Withers: EEY A13 EYE +31 297
>James: DGISSTU H11 .DIT +7 318
#note Ahhh didn't see DISGUST fit at 13E. Again, very low on time at this point so kinda rushing things. Out of the nonbingo plays, this sims very well. However, Ben will instantly know what's up and try to block much more often than the computer. For context, I played this so quickly, I didn't see the double and scored it as 5.
