#note AHA is preferred a bit by quackle. Not a bad idea to obstruct lanes that are def more useful for him than me, even at a slight deficit. I liked potential OPAH plays later but that's a super small deal in the grand scheme of things.

>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EILRSTZ 12J ZIL. +26 179
#note ZITS L2 wins a sim by around 3 points. ZIL(L) sims half a point ahead of ZI(L)L despite the latter making a small S setup. Josh said he played ZILL here to make me think he did not have an S. fishing is not great on this board with no S hook and few lanes, but ERST can still hit the C column and improve if I open anything. I like ZILL
>Jackson: ADEERST O5 RES.ATED +74 231
#note this is not the only bingo here! S(WE)ATERED is 76. It gives back the 8a spot which is annoying, but still makes more options for me on average next turn, so looks to be worth it by a point or so

#note SO(N)GSTER is 72!
>Jackson: ??DEGGU C3 U.peGGED +74 305
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIJMOOS 8A JO. +33 243
#note important for him to keep his E here, so not EMOJI B10. Especially not EMOJI because of exhaustion - while the 1 row and EMOJIS hook will both be threats, the 1 row will be taken and then the bottom left is all that's left, and it is important to not let me exhaust the board. JOG looks clearly right
>Jackson: BEILTUY J10 BI. +20 325
#note Q likes N13 BUY, which feels wrong with his range. S is heavy in his range, though not always. I saw BEYLIC but did not love how it let him play at H10, which can be annoying wiht the 1 row open. Considered BIL(G)Y as well to block the 1 row, keep the U for Q insurance with many Is out too (so not BULGY). Maybe that is the best way to be proactive here, but still the game has a lot of life left so I can't go crazy, being outscored is still a distant possibility, especially if he bingoes. BIZ was a less proactive play than BEYLIC but kept his scoring options worse while retaining a pretty stable leave. BEYLIC, DUBIETY, N13 BUY could all be reasonable. I don't hate BIZ. I can let me play westward to exhaust next turn as well.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIMOOST 10A SO.OMITE +65 308
>Jackson: ELTTUVY 13I VET +27 352
#note I do like this more than SLUTTY, even tho that is Q's pick. SLUTTY leaves 5 in the bag, and while that protects against some occasional scoring plays on the 1 row that could threaten to outscore, like QUIRING, it gives Josh better timing. While my outrunning options are not great for outrunning a bingo, I could get into a few positions after VET where he opens for small and I try and outrun a bingo by leaving 1 in the bag, which is not an outcome that can really happen after VET cause his opening plays will leave 1-2 in the bag. VET also blocks more bingoes immediately and forces probably a N13 play to open the bottom, or an A10 play. A10 plays could be annoying after VET, but playing a 6 there usually requires playing a lot of the good tiles of the pool, decreasing the bingo risk. SLUTTY I feel like lets him have more fishing options without any better outscoring options for me. TIVY I dont think I considred, but VET seems like a better version anyways cause the Y helps me score, presumably at A10, stuff like SUBTLY
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CEFINRX 11D REFIX +56 364
>Jackson: DILSTUY A10 .TUDLY +33 385
#note was not expecting REFIX. Still in a good poistion here. Champ likes STUDLY best, but I feel like there should be a way to win more often. It's hard because going into the endgame, he will often have the better timing and I need to outrun out in twos. STUDLY at least seems to reduce it to a question of drawing the Q or not.I can't win with QU cause that leaves him w CABININ(G). IT seems if he has the Q, 7/9 of the time (at most a tiny bit less), I should win. Other plays seem to run into too many issues with being outrun with his out in twos, even when he has the Q.
