>Jackson: BBIJNOV H5 JIBB +30 30
#note very close between the two placements. I slightly preferred this because the V has decent bailouts with the J, JIVE, JOVIAL, etc., so I like giving myself those if he hits JIBBA
>Morris_Greenberg: AIOTTWY 9G WAY +33 33

>Jackson: DEEEINN 10B INDENE +17 162
#note Quackle likes NEB, DENE, and INDENE similarly. I threw out DENE quickly, in a close call situation like this I will rarely opt for that kind of variance. NEB had some nice features, guaranteeing a pretty balanced rack next turn, making 7s basically impossible to play, but I felt like the D and E column would be annoying to block later without giving back good options. INDENE felt like it could lead to better closed positions later.
>Morris_Greenberg: AAGIRTU D10 .URAG +14 103
#note actual rack - he considered GAUR 4L as well
>Jackson: EEEGKMS 15D SMEEK +45 207
#note again not doing GEEK here
>Morris_Greenberg: DOX 11B DO.X +47 150
>Jackson: EEGSUUZ 13C G.UZE +32 239
#note seemed crazy at first to forgo 56 points, but the sim actually has GEEZ and GAUZE neck and neck. I didn't like GEEZ for the obvious reasons, easy Z bombs or occasional huge plays, but the secondary downside was that SUU makes it super hard for me to hit the Z myself, which is usually a nice way to offset the times the opponent bingoes or has a good score elsewhere - in this case, if that scenario happens, I will likely be letting Morris have another crack at the spot the following turn. GAUZE has some nice exhaustive merit too, allowing some 12 row plays that kill the southeast.

>Morris_Greenberg: ACDEIOS N6 YO +37 199
>Morris_Greenberg: ACDEIOS -- -37 162
>Jackson: CEGLSTT 4L G.T +16 296
#note I figured there were a few LYSOGEN type racks where GUT would give him a bingo that didnt play before, but at this score I am comfortable going for the spread, it's so rare for those racks to flip the W/L result
