>Thomas_Reinke: TUU 8H UTU +6 6

>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: ABHMSTT C3 THA.M +26 44
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: BEEHKST (challenge) +5 49
#note The point of this play was to bait a potential S hook. Does the challenge make that more or less likely?
>Thomas_Reinke: DELOTT 5F DOTTLE +20 63
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: BEEHKST 4K THEEK +36 85
#note Sim gives a slight edge to KHETS for 6 more.... I admit I was hiding my S to avoid revealing that THAIMS was phony
>Thomas_Reinke: DEFX M3 F.DEX +48 111
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: BEEEFOS 9G FEEB +27 112
#note Pretty much the exact same as last turn. KEEFS sims a tiny bit ahead, passed up for the same reason.

>Thomas_Reinke: AIIUW 3C .AUIWI +13 234
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AILQRSV 15L QIS +37 303
#note I guess this is a strategical blunder. Or at least it was in hindsight.
>Thomas_Reinke: ACIINOS 12E ASINICO. +61 295
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAALLRV C9 V.LLA +22 325
#note I was a little flustered to see my QIS play backfire and my THAIMS* gambit to fizzle all at once. Here I decided to try and set up a sneaky VILLAR hook which is great if I am also sure of the other hooks on VILLA, which I apparently was not.
>Thomas_Reinke: IRZ K11 Z.RI +50 345
#note at this point I am quietly sobbing in my chair and the Reinkes are exchanging devious smiles from across the room
>Matthew_Tunnicliffe: AAELNRR 14J A. +4 329
#note I let me time tick low here and in the end I settled for a 20% chance at LEARNER, which is a low bar to settle for. I'm definitely not winning very often from here, but knowing VILLAE for sure gives me a better chance to make cleaner fishes. As it turns out, it looks like the outrun strat of 14B AREAL might have worked out, though I think I needed to go for a bingo here.
