>Patrick_Beatrez: BDEINRR H7 RIB +10 10
#note Lots of possible plays here: RIB, DRIB, BRR, and BINDER all look like decent options. The sim likes BINDER the best, but it gives more floaters than the other options. I like RIB keeping the D hook, but BRR makes my opponent's life difficult for the first turn. I'm still happy with RIB.
>Matt_Canik: GINOPRV 7G P.OVING +19 19
#note No home for PROVING.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ADEFNOR 8M OAF +21 31
#note Looks better than taking the points with FORA(G)ED.
>Matt_Canik: AAEGORT 9G A.ROGATE +71 90
#note Only bingo, nice find.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?DENQRY K3 REDY.N. +24 55
#note Not a word. QI is going to be better on equity, but I already need to be proactive about the board closing down. DYING is probably my best play with a real word. K2 QuERY(I)N(G) for 40 is an interesting play that I hadn't considered, I still think I like my play.
>Matt_Canik: DEGILNO 4E ELOIGN.D +72 162
#note Best bingo.
>Patrick_Beatrez: ?EQRTUY 10A ToRQUEY +75 130
#note Only bingo. Perhaps I can consider E2 QU(E)Y for 32 keeping ERT?, but I can still run into problems if he can shut down the bingo lanes I need. QUEY creates a new lane next to the Y to go along with under the A in ABROGATE, but they could both be obstructed in one play. I like taking the bingo.
>Matt_Canik: CDDIT L9 .DDICT +20 182
#note He said he had more consonants here, he didn't want to open this part of the board but he needed to get through the consonants.
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEEIIJR A8 JE.E +33 163
#note Missing EEJI(T) which is light years better.
>Matt_Canik: CELTU 14J CU.TLE +28 210
#note He pegged me on vowels after my post-bingo play of JETE, so he put the E in the triple line instead of the T.
>Patrick_Beatrez: EIIILOR O10 OILI.R +21 184
>Matt_Canik: KOW 5E WOK +38 248
>Patrick_Beatrez: EEIMNSX 6E EX +57 241
>Matt_Canik: ANZ H1 NAZ. +39 287
>Patrick_Beatrez: EIMNNSS 11I MIN. +14 255
#note I need to keep scoring pressure with 11D INNS for 31 keeping it close and keeping a good leave. I was focused on bingoing, so I wanted to make sure I still had lines available which was made easier by Matt's last play of NAZI.
>Matt_Canik: AAAHV 1D HAVA.A +16 303
#note Not a word, I didn't remember seeing it but I had a bingo ready to play so I didn't want to risk it.
>Patrick_Beatrez: AEFINSS C7 FAI.NESS +82 337
#note Best bingo.
>Matt_Canik: BHMTU 2A THUMB +35 338
>Patrick_Beatrez: OOPRSSU H1 ....S +25 362
#note Unplayable SOURSOP. I considered either A1 STUPOR or just dropping the S for 25 and keeping one in the bag. His only bingo threat that I see is WASTERIE through the S in FAIRNESS, which I lose to no matter what I do. I thought the endgame tempo of keeping one in the bag had to be best. However, STUPOR puts me up by 32 points keeping OS and drawing two tiles. Two vowel draws can sometimes hold on and win, such as AE or EE. Blank draws should always win. Quackle puts STUPOR at 82% to win and dropping the S at only 4/9, I think STUPOR was definitely a better play.
>Matt_Canik: ?AEEETW A1 E.WEE +27 365
#note Very interesting decision here. QAT for 30 is the obvious choice, it blocks (N)IPS for 33 for me and is his highest scoring play. QAT appears to win 2/8, either with a P or S draw since I won't have STUPOR. With any of the other tiles besides R I win comfortably, and with R in the bag I need to find B12 PIU to win by one point. ETWEE appears to only win with an S draw, since with the other draws I can either score with hooking JETE, with NIP/NIPS, or by playing long with something like RESPOOL or PELORUS.
>Patrick_Beatrez: LOOPRSU 12B L.PROUS +20 382
#note Only winning idea, I need to play long with LEPROUS/PELORUS or RESPOOL.
>Matt_Canik: ?AIT 3J I.ATe +13 378
#note Best.
>Matt_Canik: (O) +2 380
