#note Not scoring enough to justify keeping a weird leave like this. Especially since there's no N open for ING possibilities. Play off some more tiles or at least reduce the number of tiles you have that are worth more than one point (i.e. something like MIG). IMIDIC turns over some more tiles too.

#note Too vowel heavy of a leave for my taste. I'd always rather keep two vowels than three, even if it means shedding the E. I might do GIBE.

#note I might keep the T and/or the R here since a bingo is helpful here. There's only one T, so no risk of duplicating it. There's no blanks to go after, so flipping over more isn't necessarily a good thing, especially with QUUUVWW unseen.

#note Might be worth playing at 13G to give yourself a new bingo lane. This offers him a chance to score 30 to 40 and outrun a bingo. You're not going to hit H1 very hard most of the time.

#note DGV doesn't pair well with the pool, and this only scores 9, inviting him to win by ways other than a bingo. If he lands a bingo (say, A3 DENTATE or SLANTED on the bottom), you're probably not outrunning it anyway (A3 REDBUG empties the bag, which means you would lose to a bingo). So your focus shouldn't be bingo defense here. It should be either going for your own bingo or making sure your endgame rack if he does bingo is as advantageous as possible. Also, DEBUG is better than DEBUR.
