>Jay_Levin: CDEEEM 8C EMCEED +28 28
>Samuel_Kaplan: FNNOTUV 9G FOUNT +25 25
#note As someone hoping to redeem myself after Bethel didn't go as well as I had hoped, this is not a good start, especially against someone that I have historically not averaged particularly well against. Against him, this is better than 7G so that I get more hooks to work with for EF and DO.
>Jay_Levin: AAEINST D5 ANI.ATES +70 98
#note Jay has K5 ASTA(T)INE and SANI(T)ATE for 82 each.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DENRRVZ 11C N.RVED +20 45
#note While I did miss 5C Z(A)NDER, it is not a crazy idea to dump the V. I hated 11C REZ without holding a P and figured I'd try to claw back in the game with the Z just because it's a more flexible scoring tile than the V is.
>Jay_Levin: ?ANRTWY 5C W.RrANTY +76 174
#note Are you joking me? His only other bingo is 5B TR(A)iNWAY but this is better positionally. Nice find Jay!
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?EORTUZ 6B ZO.E +40 85
#note Maybe H11 (D)OZER if this was a close game, but since I'm down 2 bingoes already, I might as well take a bigger risk and try getting myself back in the game in this manner. 8K aZURE was considered but ultimately the blank was not quite worth only 30 more points.
>Jay_Levin: KOOPS A4 SPOOK +50 224
#note That did not work out well for me.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?HIRTTU H11 .HUTI +39 124
#note L4 RUTTIsH was missed, but this doesn't sim that far back. Still a mistake. #findinglarge
>Jay_Levin: AQ 10B QA. +34 258
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?CEIRTU 14B URTICa.E +80 204
#note Looks good. 14A InTERCU(T) was not worth it. I did not know 12G T(H)EURgIC.
>Jay_Levin: ABIO 6J OBIA +15 273
>Samuel_Kaplan: EFIOORY M3 FOR.Y +30 234
#note 12H HOOEY is 8 less and normally would keep a better leave, but FIR isn't that great with this consonant heavy pool. And we still haven't seen a single G or L on this board yet!
>Jay_Levin: HOP L2 POH +31 304
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEGIIIO H1 IODI.E +24 258
#note How did I draw all those Is with this pool? H1 DIEI(N)G sims a hair better with the consonant heavy pool, but it didn't really matter too much with what I drew next.
>Jay_Levin: AEIJN K9 .AJINE +26 330
#note Nice defensive play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDGGIRX 4L ..GG +11 269
#note The X is not a tile that I needed to see when I'm behind. And I have no good way to dispose of it because I still have other clunk to deal with and I need the lanes in IODINE to still be open. I didn't see 13G D(U)RI(N)G which looks good. Still not a friendly pool with any leave and STILL NO Ls on this board yet!
>Jay_Levin: EILMS 15K SMILE +44 374
#note There's the 1st of the Ls.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDIRSVX 12J V.RID +18 287
#note Probably just cut spread with 8M SIX at this point. The draw last turn basically lost the game for me on the spot. #strategylarge
>Jay_Levin: NRTU O4 .RUNT +18 392
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABEESWX N9 EXE. +28 315
#note It's none of Jay's BEESWAX what I have on my rack (except if he tracked correctly which he did). Sadly there is no spot for this cool bingo and I would go on to miss F1 WAXE(r)S saving multiple out plays with BE. #endgamelarge
>Jay_Levin: AAGLLL 3E GLA. +7 399
#note He correctly blocks 3E BA(W)DS.
>Samuel_Kaplan: ABSW 2G B.WS +15 330
#note Either do 14M SAW or just do BOW saving F3 (L)A(R)S. Not good once again.
>Jay_Levin: ALL 14M LA +10 409
#note And my move was a mistake because Jay does not have any out plays.
>Samuel_Kaplan: A 10M A. +9 339
#note Couple clunky draws but this was not a very well played endgame on my end. Great game Jay, I just couldn't get the bingo I needed to overcome my 1 bingo deficit. And when I drew BEESWAX, well, the board was constricted enough that it was homeless. 0-1 -68.
