#note really thought this was a word! like ACHIDES* at word cup, I had a slight doubt but decided to not look into that doubt too much. Maybe had I thought about the XYLAN-KYLIN hybrid I would have realized this was phony.

#note sim is close etween g7 and g8, slight preference to g7
>Jackson: ABIOPTU 11B UPBOI. +20 66
#note didnt see BUOY here, which looks pretty nice. AIPT works fairly well with the board. BOP, UPBOIL, OPA, BUOY are all close in the sim. OPA over OBA to set up TUB plays, that's cool. UPBOIL still wins a sim by a bit, and I definitely don't mind an open board against michael

#note I was definitely influenced by macondo's aggression but also by Nigel here - in our one game, he played OE I3 for 8, keeping ENOST, when he was ahead even. I remember being reminded of that play here. I liked AEEST with the L and N open, and figured the extra bingo % was enough to offset the score between this and TOEA and TOE. TOE and TOEA both sim a couple points up, and in that case theres really no great argument for OE.

#note CREW and CHEW are def not worth playing here - WHIRR and WHIR are over 6 ahead in a sim. In a raw sim, WHIRR is about 1.5 ahead - with a bingo leave implied, it gets closer. I liked keeping the R to react to his fish, so if he hits a bingo I am more likely to bingo back and tie the game. WHIRR is probably a bit technically better - one factor is that a lot of Michael's bingoes don't actually give me great floaters, so the extra value of the R might not be realized so much.

>Jackson: ?BEGIIN E3 BIGuINE +74 336
#note I like playing on this side of the board because it takes away the 2 row, and keeps all the bingo opportunities on the right side of the board, which I can often exhaust pretty quickly. after BETIDING or BIELDING there is still the 1 row and the 2 row to worry about. BIGUINE does much better against an immediate bingo
