#note too bad MAQUIS was blocked. EAUX is the standout play here even though it looks really bad

>Jackson: BDINOOT 13I BONITO +32 186
#note another turn where this is oddly the standout play - BONITO sims over 12 ahead of the next best options, BOO or BOD. It separates the board to give both of us decent options instead of just Froilan, and the bingo leaves of the other plays are really mediocre on this board

>Froilan_Mendoza: BEN E5 NEB +18 249
>Jackson: AEEGILO D6 GOALIE +19 252
#note weird turn, WOE looks fairly standard but it felt like sinking into a deficit slowly, AEGIL is really impotent on this board, besides the really occasional G- bingo on the 15 row, and I would much rather reach for Ss and blanks and scoring tiles. I was not too afraid of GOALIES plays because they often give quite a bit back. This sims best ahead of WOE
>Froilan_Mendoza: ACEIRRS 12D SCARE +32 281
#note actual rack.
>Jackson: EEKPSUW 8A WEK. +33 285
#note not loving the options here, I figure I need the blank to win fairly often here, but if I don't get the blank I prob need to play WEKA and hope to not get hit immediately with a bingo, and try to outscore from there. EW 14M does well in a sim, a couple behind WEKA, but hard to imagine that working and not getting blocked. At least SCARE basically never keeps a blank.
>Froilan_Mendoza: CIILNRT B7 C.IL +8 289
#note actual rack again - he said he assumed I must have the blank with WEKA to be opening like that, but I think that it is no guarantee at such an even score. I might play CRINITE here to maximize shots at the blank.
>Jackson: ?EOOPSU O13 SOU +18 303
#note considered OP M8 or (W)O or (W)OE to try and counter bingo the odd time froilan does hit a bingo on the 15 row, but it doesn't seem worth it - he only has 3 bingoes available at 15a, and tons at 15I - but if he hits 15I, I am still not very likely to hit at 15a myself with this rack - maybe (W)OE to hit UPSILON and such, but even then, I am cutting into his winning chances when he hits the 15I bingo maybe by half, when after SOU it just cuts his whole win% to when he can hit a rare 15a bingo, which seems way more solid. champ prefers SOU - if the two 15 row lanes were more even in their ease of hitting, it might be better to fish here. Also, leaving 3 in the bag and keeping the blank makes it pretty hard to get outrun here after SOU
>Froilan_Mendoza: DINNORT M6 .IOT +21 310
>Jackson: ?EEENOP 15I NEEP +18 321
#note tried to find something to hit the triple, but couldnt come up with EPOPEE, the only word that hits. NEEPs is 5 better for spread
