>Arie_Sinke: ALMOPUU 8D PULAO +20 20
#note This is fine; nothing else worth looking at.
>Vera_Bigall: CV G7 V.C +15 15
>Arie_Sinke: EIIIMTU D7 U.TIME +20 40
#note This and PIU D8 for 5 are the only plays that are better than exchanging.
>Vera_Bigall: AFN E10 FAN +27 42
>Arie_Sinke: ?AEIINS 13D SENArII +76 116
#note Best bingo.
>Vera_Bigall: BIN H12 B.IN +24 66
>Arie_Sinke: AAIISTW 12J AWAIT +18 134
#note This is a bit more aggressive than one would like to be with a lead, but my hand is forced here. Nothing else is worth looking at. At least I have an S myself.
>Vera_Bigall: EHILNOS N7 NEOLI.HS +76 142
>Arie_Sinke: GIQRSUV 8K SQU.G +75 209
#note Best.
>Vera_Bigall: EILORRS 15D LORI.ERS +59 201
>Arie_Sinke: BDIRTVW L11 B.WD +10 219
#note Blind to VIRTU E4 for 18, which is a slight improvement over BAWD. The BDW leave is so awkward that BAWD is almost worth it.
>Vera_Bigall: AJ K10 JA. +34 235
>Arie_Sinke: AIKRTTV C9 IKAT +30 249
#note This is best by far.
>Vera_Bigall: EGRU K4 URGE. +12 247
>Arie_Sinke: ACDHRTV 4J D.TCH +22 271
#note This sims better than CATH L1 despite scoring 12 fewer points. I really didn't like opening up the C here. The board is surprisingly dead for non-bingo scoring here - and being the person to change that does not favor me.
>Vera_Bigall: DMO O13 MOD +27 274
>Arie_Sinke: AFOORTV 5G FAVO. +14 285
#note This play does not sim particularly well. OVA 3H looks like a great choice - it sets up plays beginning with the F at 2J that score 47 points or more. There are a lot of Es unseen so FORTE at a minimum, and if that gets blocked I can play something like ROOF through the O. In a position where all my options score less than 20 this sort of thing really matters. This was a missed opportunity to create some volatility that favored me.
>Vera_Bigall: YY H4 Y.Y +13 287
>Arie_Sinke: EINOORT G3 OO. +12 297
#note Unsurprisingly, this play wins the sim by a massive margin. I feel like my hand is forced here.
>Vera_Bigall: EZ 7I ZE. +22 309
>Arie_Sinke: EEILNRT 2B LINTER +23 320
#note I really have no idea. I feel like I have to play this if I want to win without bingoing. Maybe I should attempt some weird fish/setup and hope for the best. I was very aware of PROOF when I played this.
>Vera_Bigall: ?DGNOPR 1G PRONGeD +90 399
>Arie_Sinke: EEEERTX 1A REX +41 361
#note REX is fine.
>Vera_Bigall: AE O7 A.E +8 407
>Vera_Bigall: (EEET) +8 415
