>Rafi: ACILNNU H1 LUNA +20 54
#note ULNA is an improvement - didn't think of it for some reason. Considered ANNULI/UNROVEN which is too open. NU/UNROVEN is a cool idea, but Orry can adjust too easily.

#note considered POOKA and SPOOK, and maybe OPA? PULAO is my best chance at an immediate bingo, but leaves some points on the table.

>Rafi: EEINQRT 7C QI +26 358
#note Closer than I would have expected between this and QINT(A)R, which scores 8 more, gives back fewer points, and draws for the blank. QI scores 17 points more on average next turn, but with high variance - if I don't bingo quickly, I could be in trouble.
>Orry: ADI A12 A.ID +24 382
>Rafi: AEEFNRT 15M FER +26 384
#note I played FER over FEN/FET beacuse there are two R's left and only one N (and T). This may be a mistake though as the R is better to keep with a neutral pool. I could see an argument for other fishing plays as well, but I find it hard to pass up the extra points when I don't necessarily need a bingo to win.
>Orry: BRT B11 BR.T +18 400
>Rafi: AAEENNT 14D ANE +16 400
#note If I draw the blank, I can hit some unblockable bingo draws with the ?ENT??? pattern (VENTAGE, GENTIAN, RENTALS, VENTAIL, VENTRAL, etc). If I draw an I, I threaten ENTIA for 32, and if I also draw a bingo through the L, it's possible Orry won't have an out in two outrunning ENTIA. I'm really hoping for the blank, but on occasion Orry will be in trouble even if he holds the blank.
