>Samuel_Kaplan: EEINOTW 8G WOE +12 12
#note This one is for 3rd or 4th I have 4 wins and Larry has 5 but I have better spread. So just win and I'm in 3rd.
>Larry_Sherman: HOO 9F OOH +18 18
#note Probably setting up a P, otherwise he would have done 7G OHO for 22.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEHINT 10F HE +32 44
#note But then WHITENED got blocked. I really like this play a lot to make it hard for Larry to easily overlap anything on this board and force him to open for cheap, most likely plays starting at 7I. Most of the time he will give me a line for 7s or key floaters for 8s with the nice DEINT leave I am keeping.
>Larry_Sherman: EINP 7I PEIN +16 34
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEFINTU K4 FIN.TUDE +98 142
#note While the tile bag decided to curse me out with just a 2 tile draw, I ultimately got the last laugh by finding this 2x2. Nothing was stopping me this time!
>Larry_Sherman: EIRX 4I RE.IX +30 64
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?ADEIOT 12E TOADIEs +71 213
#note Definitely not doing 3C gODETIA or OxIDATE at this score. Those plays are better if I was behind. I love how well this takes out the entire bottom of the board compared to any other options I have.
>Larry_Sherman: DILRU 13B LURID +17 81
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEGOUW 6H GOW. +34 247
#note You know it's likely to be your game to win when it's possible to score well with bad racks as well as good racks.
>Larry_Sherman: AR M2 RA. +20 101
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEEQTU J2 CE. +11 258
#note I looked for a while for nice QU- plays and there were none to be worth playing. Probably a slight overreaction with defense, N1 CEE is fine. #strategysmall
>Larry_Sherman: AMRY B10 MAR.Y +32 133
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDEEQTU H12 .EBT +21 279
#note Still no QU plays just yet. But I can wait to pounce with it because it has plenty of future potential.
>Larry_Sherman: ANOT A7 NOTA +16 149
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEEGPQU H1 DEEP +51 330
#note Since the P was a clutch draw, I'll continue to wait to part ways with the QU.
>Larry_Sherman: ?AAINSS 14G A.StAINS +68 217
#note At this score, I think Larry needed to do 15H (T)SArINAS for both the score and the volatility.
>Samuel_Kaplan: GIOQTUV M9 QUOTI.G +54 384
#note I don't have as good of a play after TSArINAS. This one is kinda obvious.

#note Mhm
>Larry_Sherman: LLLMRSU 3A L.MUR +14 272
>Samuel_Kaplan: ACFN A1 CA. +19 528
#note Missed my out play of E2 F(R)ANC, not that it really mattered at this point. I overcame getting no Ss in this one.
>Larry_Sherman: LLS E11 S..LL +10 282
#note Got the bronze and a small rating gain. I feel that I could have won Round 2, but Rounds 5 and 7 were not winnable after all. Lucky me got away with 2 phony bingoes in this one. Eric and Noah were such great hosts in this one, I thank them for having us over!
