#note This was a frustrating case where the needs of the board and my rack didn't coincide. I can't justify giving him all those hooks to row 15 with YOGI. YOGA is a bit safer but has the same problem. Also, with limited places to fit bingos, YOD 6F to keep the A instead of the O didn't seem worth the four point sacrifice. I asked Joel about this turn afterwards. He preferred my play to all of the alternatives.

>Dave: BEIOQRT H1 ROBE +33 202
#note With a couple of places to play the Q already and a likely A draw giving me QAT 10F, I liked taking the points this way instead of rushing to dump the Q.

#note Yeah, this guy's pretty good.
>Dave: ACDEIIT 15A EID.TIC +30 264
#note Didn't think of N1 ADIPIC here, which is a play I really like at this score. It's the only thing I would do differently in this game, in retrospect.

>Dave: AABGMNZ 8A GAZ. +42 306
#note I figured keeping the good synergy of the MB coMBo might give me better bingo chances than playing MAZE. Slotting the G for potential -ING bingos wasn't bad either.
>Joel: AUW 1E WAU. +7 334
>Dave: ABDHMNU E5 BUND +30 336
#note MAUND? No thanks. I'd rather keep the M than the B, and keeping the A is good too.

#note Clinches it.
