>Brian_McCarthy: AAFILOR 8D FOLIA +24 24
#note Thanks to Brian for sharing his full racks!
>Evan_Chester: EENOSTU F6 TO.UENES +62 62
#note Only bingo
>Brian_McCarthy: AEHIJNR 7E J.HN +38 62
>Evan_Chester: ADEGNRZ 6H ADZ +36 98
#note Thought about this position for a bit. ADZ is the top equity play, but the E hook could give back massive counterplay. The main other play I considered was D8 FAZED for the same score., which is more defensive. These plays sim #1 and #2. I think ADZ is better due to keeping the E which balances my leave and allows me to score hooking ADZE next turn if it stays open
>Brian_McCarthy: AAEEIOR K5 AERIE +24 86
>Evan_Chester: EEEGLNR 8J L.NGER +24 122
#note Tough turn. The top equity plays of 9A RENEGUE, E10 RENEGE, and 8K INGLE are all words I didn't know. All other choices are pretty mediocre.
>Brian_McCarthy: ACDILOO L3 LOAD +28 114
#note 11D CONOIDAL!
>Evan_Chester: EEGRSTU 13D GE.TURES +61 183
#note I spent so long considering if GENTURES was good that I just played GESTURES instantly after I saw it. O1 GESTURER and 10I GESTURE are better bingos that I would have hopefully seen if I had anagrammed gesture faster.
>Brian_McCarthy: CEGIMNO H12 M.NG +30 144
#note 3F COMINGLE, don't worry Brian I wouldn't have found these either
>Evan_Chester: DEILNOV 9I VO. +12 195
#note Don't have a good explanation for this play, it's just not good. 14J DOVEN is the standout option
>Brian_McCarthy: ?CDEIOU O1 ClOUDIE. +83 227
>Evan_Chester: ADEIILN 15H .LIADINE +86 281
#note Best
>Brian_McCarthy: EIIKRYY N6 KY. +41 268
>Evan_Chester: AABEFQT 14M QAT +41 322
#note Best
>Brian_McCarthy: CEIINRY 3I ICI.Y +22 290
>Evan_Chester: ABEFMTV 12C FAM. +28 350
#note Play it vertically for 3 more points dingus. Best is 9E BUM for 33
>Brian_McCarthy: ?AENRSU 4C fURANES +66 356
#note Brian told me he saw 12H MANURErS but didn't think it was good. It is, and scores 10 more than 4 row bingos.
>Evan_Chester: BEOOTVW 12J WOVE +27 377
#note 2nd best on equity to C1 WEBfOOT! What a crazy word. WOVE sims slightly higher than WEBfOOT though.
>Brian_McCarthy: BHPRRWX 10J BRR +28 384
#note What a dreadful post bingo rack, by far his best play
>Evan_Chester: BEOPTTT 11B POTE.T +35 412
#note Super clutch find. I saw this spot and laid down BENT but looked a bit longer and found this instad, which should give me a win with a passable last 2 tiles.
>Brian_McCarthy: HIIPSWX 3B PIX +35 419
#note Best, he can't block all of my outs
>Evan_Chester: ABOT 2F BOAT +15 427
#note Best. 7/11 plays this game were the best option or were in a close 1 and 2. Def one of my cleanest games of the tournament. Lesson here is to look a little longer after you find a candidate play. That was the reason for the GESTURES and FAME mistakes, and it almost happened a 3rd time on the POTENT turn
>Evan_Chester: (HISW) +20 447
