>Howard_PIstol: ENOW 8L ENOW +26 102
>James: AGINOOT 7M AGO +16 114
#note A sim prefers either the aggressive fish of F8 AGO or N8 (O)OGONIA. I played AGO pretty quickly since it seemed like the best thing at a glance but I guess I should've taken some more time.
>Howard_PIstol: FZ J8 F.Z +35 137
>James: EGINORT 6G GENITOR +63 177
#note N7 (GO)ITROGEN is a Mack level find
>Howard_PIstol: BBE 5K EBB +28 165
>James: AAEHLRX 7F HAE +27 204
#note Whiffed on H1 EXHAL(E). That spot is always so hard to see for some reason.
>Howard_PIstol: EJST N2 JETS +30 195
>James: ADLPRXY 13B RAD.X +42 246
#note DIdn't consider holding on to the X by playing 13C DR(I)LY, but that looks a little better.
>Howard_PIstol: OPT O1 POT +26 221
>James: ALMNPVY B11 VA.Y +20 266
#note I wanted to play a little defense, but 4H VAMP or 4G VAMPY do a better job at that. I didn't like B11 MA(R)VY since I felt like it gave too much away holding a subpar leave.
>Howard_PIstol: AAFIOSV A14 OF +20 241
>James: AILMNNP 3J PLAN.. +16 282
#note Looks pretty good?
>Howard_PIstol: DEIIV 14F IVIED +26 267
>James: IMNNRRT H11 MIR.N +24 306
#note Here's the big moment. I decided against TR(I)M since I wanted the 3 extra points and thought that 1-2 vowels on the next draw would keep me afloat long enough for me to hold on. I also thought that the T would be a worse floater to put at H11, but I was wrong.
>Howard_PIstol: ENRRSSU 12H .NSURERS +68 335
>James: CENORTU 15J OUNCER +30 336
#note I did the thing where I thought there were only 2 bingos in this rack. Was also kinda wowed by how my MIR(I)N play backfired spectacularly. I immediately gasped when I got to this rack in the annotation. I can't believe I'm still missing stuff like this. Gotta see CORNUTE or TROUNCE.
>Howard_PIstol: CKO N10 CO.K +16 351
>James: AAGIIST 13M S.I +20 356
#note Best endgame is L11 G(R)AI(N) --> 15C AITS after 4I DEeM
