>Jackson: ABEINOS H8 ABO +10 10
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AAEEOQU I5 AQUAE +23 23
>Jackson: EGINNSS 11E SENSING +88 98
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EIOOPT E4 bIOTOPE. +68 91
#note maybe ECOTOPIA or GOOPIEST. same score but looks a couple better
>Jackson: DEEIOYZ F6 YE +28 126
#note this is the highest static play in Q. Sims best ahead of OYEZ for 35, DEIOZ works well with the H1 spot and generally the Z is powerful here, coul dhit DIAZ(O) with an A draw too
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?DEIIST J1 mISEDIT +79 170
>Jackson: DEIMOOZ H1 OOZED +53 179
#note totally missed ZOOID here, obviously a bit better than OOZED.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AACJNOP D6 CAJON +56 226
>Jackson: EILLMOT C9 MOTEL +33 212
#note didnt see MOTILE and was not 100% sure of MOLLIE. I like MOLLIE best here.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AILNPRR B10 PAR +27 253
>Jackson: ADEIILR A11 LAIRD +28 240
#note getting to be a dearth of vowels so EI is nice here. Sims just ahead of RADII, very close.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AILNRRY D12 AIRY +32 285
>Jackson: BEEIOVW K4 WO +27 267
#note wims about 5 ahead of YOWIE, the standard play. Sets up VIBE L1 which would also keep an E. BEV is really rough with the pool, the V needs vowels to shed and I want to keep vowels for the future of the game.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CDILRST 7C L...D +9 294
#note this is the second highest static play after LYRICS. He said he didnt see the E hook till after this turn. Still, I think this play makes good sense even if he sees it - the pool is bad for bingoes and WO does not necessarily keep a good bingo leave ,just very likely an E. If josh can draw vowels into CIRST he can hit the B column really well. Spending his vowels to maintain a 30-40 point lead isn't necessarily so solid here. Spending the case S with LYRICS also seems premature
>Jackson: BEEHIUV L1 HIVE +40 307
#note I was trying to figure out what he had with LATED. a rack with Es but no Ss didnt make much sense, I fiure something like L1 DALE would come down instead, hard to imagine LATED coming down keeping AELRT, but maybe... Then a rack with E and S seemed weird too, but maybe something good enough to try and hit the B column or L column could work. I figured consonant racks with S were likely too, and most often he would not keep an E with LATED. Cause of this, blocking the B column didnt seem worth it, his bingo range wasnt actually so trong. I chose HIVE over VIBE to firstly keep the B for BELATED once ELATED comes down, then also prevent easy M column parallels with EWER, since I figured LATED kept a decent number of Rs.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CINRSTW F6 ..W +22 316
>Jackson: ABEHMNU B2 HUMANE +33 340
#note seems right given range. Otherwise HUNH would be good, or BYNAME.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: CGINRST 2J .C.NG +16 332
#note looks good, this lane will be hard to deal with. TYRING is okay too but less proactive, plus I am more likely to have the X than he will be.
>Jackson: BEFKLTX A1 KEX +56 396
#note though it's true that the X was already powerful on this board...
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: GINRSTT 15C T.RING +30 362
#note he's gotta stay in range
>Jackson: BEFILTU 3L .EIL +21 417
#note gotta block STARVER, STRAFER, RAFTERS, GRAVURES. This blocks all of them and scores enough to not get outrun. The way I lose after VEIL is if he hits (NE)RVATURE. I could block all potential bingoes with (G)ULF, but that can get outscored from racks like AEFRRST with A5 FARER then S(E)T/PONES.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EFRSTUV A5 TURF +33 395
>Jackson: ABFRTU D1 BURA +20 437
