>Samuel_Kaplan: DEIIJNS 8G JIN +20 20
#note I did see JEDIS and it's very close in the sim with 8G JEDI and this. If I had a rack of DEIIJST, I might be more inclined to take the points. But I liked how this sets up hooks on 2 sides that I have.
>Harry_Chan: BOP 7H BOP +15 15
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEISUY F5 YAUD +22 42
#note Looks fine. There is also F8 DAY for 27 setting up a 2nd S hook that I have, but the leave is weakened significantly by the U and 5 extra points doesn't seem to be enough to justify that.
>Harry_Chan: ATU E3 UTA +16 31
>Samuel_Kaplan: ?AEEISS K5 dISEASE +82 124
#note OMG I'm shocked! 1st blank bingo of the tournament. Oh wonderous joy! Yea, looks like I need to rack up spread and rack it up fast, hence passing up mISEASE and EASIESt. Best way to make up spread is to draw the DISEASES/DISEASED hooks and/or hit EX- plays starting at 8K.
>Harry_Chan: ENO 9G ONE +24 55
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEIRTU 10B EUCRITE +79 203
#note Mhm. Let's keep it going.
>Harry_Chan: ILLQ C9 Q.ILL +48 103
>Samuel_Kaplan: AADEGLO D4 AGO +19 222
#note Purposely did not do ADAGE in this spot because I have the DISEASED hook that I was relying on drawing 2 turns ago.
>Harry_Chan: HOO C2 OOH +18 121
>Samuel_Kaplan: ADEELMN 12H LEADMEN +80 302
#note Just like that, I got some spread back. These are exactly the types of risks I must take when I am behind in the standings.
>Harry_Chan: AEV H12 .AVE +21 142
>Samuel_Kaplan: IIINRWX 13G W.X +42 344
#note M8 WINI(E)R sacrifices too many points and it also blocks the 8L hotstpot where I could use the X to score a lot, and L8 XI does nothing to block the board long term since Harry can easily extend EX to a lot of things. I stand by this play despite keeping an ugly leave with 3 Is.
>Harry_Chan: AFINSUY - +0 142
#note Not actual rack. Harry exchanged 6 tiles here.
>Samuel_Kaplan: IIINOPR N10 PI.ION +28 372
#note Looks good.
>Harry_Chan: AGH 15L HA.G +36 178
>Samuel_Kaplan: CEEIRRT 8K .RECT +24 396
#note I've been doing fine with spotting bingoes until now. I did not see 3E (U)RETERIC for 62. Not the easiest to spot and it's also easy to miss a U as a bingo lane. #findinglarge
>Harry_Chan: ?ILNRSS 15C RINgL.SS +58 236
#note Nice play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DDEIRTT - +0 396
#note For some reason, I did not think that this was a word, so I ended up challenging this. I should have realized that SLINGERS had an anagram. Let's get those -LESS words down better. #knowledgesad
>Harry_Chan: ATV L4 VAT +15 251
#note I'm lucky I didn't get punished very much for my blunder.
>Samuel_Kaplan: DDEIRTT 13L ED.T +20 416
>Harry_Chan: FW M7 F.W +17 268
>Samuel_Kaplan: DEINRRT 14H .EIN +24 440
#note I mean come on now, it's not worth it to fish here when the only bingo with this pool that I could hit that actually plays is DRIFTNE(T) on Column O.
>Harry_Chan: IM D8 MI. +21 289
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDKORRT I11 K.... +16 456
#note 2B R(O)BOT is really cool which I didn't see here. #visionmedium
>Harry_Chan: AYZ 12C .AZY +32 321
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDFORRT 6B FR. +14 470
#note 2B R(O)BOT again.
>Harry_Chan: EGORU E10 .E. +24 345
#note Nice job forgoing his out of J1 ERUGO.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BDORT 11B D.R. +17 487
#note This is nice and flashy, but once again, 2B R(O)BOT.
>Harry_Chan: GORU 2B G.R +8 353
#note He has O4 GROU(T) as an out play.
>Samuel_Kaplan: BOT F1 BOT +9 496
#note All righty, little sloppy in the end but thankfully I had a large enough lead at that point. DISEASE was one of the best decisions I made this game. And I am glad to spot LEADMEN to run away and hide. 3-2 +120. When I said it all starts here, I meant it all starts here. Not done just yet.
>Samuel_Kaplan: (OU) +4 500
