#note Didnt really consider OF I8, but I prefer FIORD anyways, both optimally and to take a less variant and more open board approach. Sims best by around 2-3 points

#note Big sacrifice over POCKS L1, but I liked this decision. KPS scores really well here, with -SK words with CLAIMS plus other K and P words down the H column, stuff like APEEK. Q thinks this is way too big a sacrifice and POCKS is 7 points better, that KPS doesnt average so much more, but that's hard to believe, especially over the next few turns. It's true that POCKS does bingo more, immediately. I still dont hate this play optimally, and I also wanted to lean towards not opening the 3x3 unless it was necessary.

#note I think I forgot to track an S at this point because I was aware of the EME setup at N6 but did not think I had the case S here. That looks like the play for sure. The pool is so bad that she is less than 1% to bingo after EME.
