#note I felt like playing VOW(ED) without holding an A was a death sentence. Sim seems to like it though. Maybe Zach is more likely to have consonants after W(E)D?

>J: BGIOORS N4 GOBO +20 80
#note L1 BRIO or BROO are obviously better. However, this makes a sneaky VETOS* spot that Zach might not know is good, plus I am holding an I for the O4 spot.

#note Weird turn that would've been a lot easier if I had seen H1 DHO(BI). My thinking it that I can handle the doubled I's since the board is closed and Zach probably won't score well. Also, I'm making an actually valid S hook fo rmy S. 6B HOISED is just a better version of that though since it undoubles the I's.

#note Sim likes N1 (E)H instead for some reason? Maybe I can hit some H8 (C)ONFUSED/R/S plays if I shed the H, which I considered but deemed too cute to actually pursue. This also creates another 7's lane for a D, which I liked

#note Moment of truth. I have to show Zach that VETOS* isn't a word since SELSYN(S) plays over there for 3 more.

>J: GIILNUU 8A UGL. +24 281
#note Looks right. I want to keep the scoring pressure on and can't fear the 2nd blank.
>ZB: AKLT G9 TALK +24 271
>J: DEIINSU B8 .UID +8 289
#note Not good. E9 UNI is clearly better since it scores for and doesn't allow easy plays to the triple. I wanted to block a little bit of the right side, but that was incorrect here.

#note Out of time to properly check endgames and I trakced incorrectly. Champ says I win 1/8 endgames with F14 P(A) and 12G(KI)P, and tie 1/8 endgames with J4 (O)P. I went to play my phony VETOS* bingos and see Zach's reaction. It was favorable, so I went with it.
